Have hyper child HELP

[Guest guest]

we started using the everyday vitamins from kirkmans on sunday, he

was up all night sunday- thought maybe a fluke and continued the

vitamins-ok mon and tuesday-maybe a little unfocused but ok-today I

have a child that is like a tiny tornado,tearing up a path and

leaving nothing but reckage behind-he has not napped today and does

not appear tired-now this was him when he had dairy we have been

caseinfree almost9 months and he has not been hyper like this

since_except with infractions- I do not know of any infrections and

the only new thing was the vitamin-has this happened to anyone else

on the vitamin? Should I lower the amount given-is this normal?

HELLLLLP I have rolls of toilet paper unravelled all over the house,

poop smesred on the wall-took a bath and now have 6 inches of water

and whole bottle of baby bath on the floor-cant take any more. LIs aF

HI LISA!

HANG IN THERE!!! My son does it too (poop thing, bath and soap). I

just quit the SNT friday for the same (I thought) reason, and now he

takes naps in the pm! I am not sure if this is at all do to the

withdrawal from the SNT, or if it is just because school is over and

he doesn't nap on the bus coming home like he used to, so he gets

tired later. But I can't seem to be able to keep him awake until

dinner time at least!! It may be that your son is just adjusting to

the new thing, as you may be right and the multi is not okay.

I read on another board that someone's son was not doing good

with any multivitamins, so they had to switch to single

sullplementing (which is kinda of a pain to me: my son makes it hard

on any tabs or pills or even liquids at times).

Maybe just keep it on for another few days and then see if it

really does not change; then you may want to quit and see what

happens at that point.

I REALLY feel for you! I have two little ones that will get into

everything before I can get to it, and so my older one pooping

everywhere...OH MY! do I know what you mean.

When you get a minute, between one cleaning and another one, walk

out the door for five minutes and take a DEEP breath of fresh air

(hope not too much smog where you live); then walk back in. Sounds

soooo stupid, but that usually helps me to get back inside to the

crazy bunch. You may find some more to clean or yu may not when you

walk back in, but at least you had taken some fresh air.

Sorry I don't have your answers (

PS: A friend of mine had a pee problem after her child was potty

trained for at least one yr: she found out the little sneaky guy,

wanted a bath, so he was peeing on himself on purpose (this was

couple times a day for a week); she stopped bathing him-just clean

him up good-and he stopped the pee-pee the second day. Just a

thought. )

For hyperactivity, these are the things that I have tried and a few

others have tried that worked.

1. Calcium and Magnesium up to around 1,000 mg/day in divided doses.

(I do this). Epsom salt baths because of the magnesium in the salts

and the sulfur helps process any phenols. (I do this too, only the

boys soak just their feet while they read for about 30 minutes, they

like it). Sensitivity to phenols can create hyperactivity as a

reaction.

2. Zyme Prime enzymes from www.houstonni.com - I and others have seen

calming, don't know why it works. Parent with phenol sensitive kids

say this product allows their kids to eat phenols again without

reaction, so there is probably a connection here somewhere.

3. Folic acid - don't have a dose as I don't do it personally.

4. Chromium - one dad said they use it faithfully, don't have a dose

5. Molybdenum - a micronutrient needed to process phenols. Others

have said it helps.

I KNOW what you mean. My 7 1/2 year old had a bad diarrhea blowout

today and somehow managed to get it all over 2 bathrooms and the

carpet path between the 2 levels in our house.

I planned on potty-training being over at 3 years old! Ahhhhhhh, that

was so many pull-ups and underwear ago. Tomorrow is another - and

hopefully less smelly day.
