Calcium and other vitamin supplements???

[Guest guest]

My son Hunter (age 4, autistic tendencies and neurological disorder) has

been GFCF (100% as far as we can tell) for about 3 weeks now. He's doing

great; we've noticed increased eye contact as well as much better behavior

at school.

My question: What vitamin supplements do your children take, and where do

you get them from?? Do you give your child a calcium supplement? At first

I thought I would HAVE to give Hunter additional calcium, as I was taking

away his beloved cow's milk. However, he's as attached to the rice milk

(thank God for Wild Oat's relatively inexpensive Nice Rice!) as he was to

the cow's milk, and in addition he absolutely LOVES the Silk brand of

cultured soy, which actually has a LOT more calcium than " regular " yogurt.

All in all, he's definitley getting at least the same (if not more) calcium

as what he got pre-GFCF.

I was giving Hunter the Super-Nu-Thera as a trial a few months ago, but

didn't see any changes so I stopped. Is this appropriate as a

multi-vitamin? He hated the taste, but I need something liquid, so please

let me know if you've found anything that is better.

Thanks,

Marcie

Yummie Bears are multi-vitamins that look and taste like Gummi

Bears. The packaging itself says they are gluten and casein free

(though I believe the bears with fiber are not). My son used to love

them but I changed to the SuperNuThera because I wanted the vitamin B

& Magnesium.
