From her research she theorizes that kids on the autism spectrum have difficulty processing calcium. The goal of her protocol is to help that issue. Anyway, her research tells her that calcium from food is handled better by these kids than supplemental calcium. If you start the calcium powder, you may see some undesirable behavior. Here is one quote from that list: The kids do need calcium, but they need it as part of their > food, so that absorption is slower and less efficient. Supplemental > calcium, especially calcium citrate, is absorbed extremely efficiently so it > hits the bloodstream in a sudden dose that the body then has to > manage. Even so, some parents on the Vitamin K list are giving supplemental calcium, but they are cautioned to keep the dose low. I am sorry I do not know the dose for your child's age, but since switching to supplemental calcium might cause behavior issues, I thought you should be aware of that possibility. , mom to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just so frustrated with the yogurt machines I have. I think I'll try to use the crockpot next. Best, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
