Janelle, I use DMG capsules hypoallergenic with B12 and folic acid. I

also ADD more folic acid, since you can add up to 5000 mg. I add five

to six chewable tabs, which still leaves a gap considering what can

be taken in from food. You have tho to calculate depending on what

supplements your child takes, this is only what works for my son

according to what he takes. DMG I think I liked better than TMG, but

it is all up to the way the child " reacts " or not to it. It works

wonders for us (not big talking and such, but great on his attention

level and hyperactivity etc.)

Never had a problem with the liquid kind, tho; we just recently

switched to the capsules.

Some cannot tolerate either DMG nor TMG, so it is all subjective.

The diharrea could be both she is reacting to the raspberry-if you

know that it is a problem for her-or just the way her body adjust to

the new thing. My suggestion would be to keep her on a " white " diet

for a few days, to " clear up " her system while you give her the DMG,

so she won't be affected too much (white rice, nothing too elaborate

or fried, less sugars and no fruits or veggies; basically just

starches: it was my grandma remedy an always worked-for us is harder

b/c my son does not eat rice in any way, so we do pasta-). It should

go away pretty quickly tho.

I would do the trial size of anything in the beginning: one never

knows; your child may " react " to whatever substance, w/o you even

knowing it.

Hope this helps, Good luck.
