Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 Hi ( & all), I wondered how old was your son when you started gfcf & how long did it take to see results? (Anyone can answer that as well, I'd love to get an idea). I'm considering consulting a nutritionist before getting started & perhaps having some testing done. Regarding KidCalm, I've used it before but it didn't help much. Does it have a cumulative effect? Do you have to use it on a consistent basis to see calming results? I only used it on an " as needed " , but actually very seldom (much less than needed!) basis. Thanks again, Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 April, I'm sorry to sound dim, but do you use lavender oils & right on her? Or lavender cream or something else? Thanks again, Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 KidCalm-magnesium, vitamin B6, zinc, st. s Wort extract, valerian root extract, GABA, L-Tyrosine, Kava root extract, melissa extract, grape seed extract - from hfs.http://www.enzy.com/ This worked well for my son, though now that he's 11 yo I've taken him off this and giving him some of these separately.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 April, Sounds good to me; did you get that at the HFS? Thanks again, Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 Yes, you need to use it consistently, as with most herbs. Though I saw results within a couple of weeks.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2001 Report Share Posted October 5, 2001 Thank you to all who have responded. I realized I have not tried " KidCalm " but something else called Kids Relax by Rainbow Light. I'm going to try to find the KidCalm today. How often per day do you give it? I'm always leary of overusing herbs so that's why I ask. But it's safe to use daily? I'm also going to try the lavender cream. Even though he's a boy; well, if he's calmer it's worth him smelling " pretty " ! Thanks, Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
