Re: SNT versus Brainchild

[Guest guest]

Cathy, I'm sorry to say that this is one of those things that has to

getted sorted out child by child. Some children can't take SNT at

all. Some need extra folic acid with it. Some start low, then work

up and do fine. My son sped up for a few days at full dosage, then

did just fine.

It sounds like you've tried your best, but this isn't a workable

option for your child. I hope you hear from Kirkman's soon, but

there are other options, like Brainchild, which has been successful

for some children who can't handle SNT.

Are you using the Hyperallergenic SNT? It could be that you child cannot

tolerate the extra stuff like the flavorings that are in the SNT.

Also if you call instead of write to Kirkmans they will discuss the

problem at length with you.
