Re: ASD Vits

[Guest guest]

Such a good point, Michele.... With a very damaged gut, one has to wonder

whether all the $$$ spent on special supplements are even being absorbed.

Putting a priority on healing the gut damage seems ideal.... then reassessing

the situation and adding what basic supps seem necessary. SCD is so highly

superior, nutrition-wise, to the way a lot of the kids were eating previously.

ASD Vits

We're going to be starting SCD soon & I've been re-doing all our vits

to be totally " legal " . I'm replacing some but am wondering whether

others are even necessary. It seems like Elaine wasn't too into over

supplementing, but I wanted to see what others do.

For severely autistic children, how much do you all do in the way of

vits & supps? I'm seriously downgrading him to a legal probiotic

(right now he gets something much stronger). I'm also considering

giving up the extra Vitamin E he gets, as well as replacing the

Brainchild vits & mins with a legal multi from Kirkmans. I'm also

wondering whether it's necessary to keep him on the extra Brainchild

zinc he's been getting (it's legal but I don't know if necessary).

It's all very expensive & he has definite absorption issues, so we

don't know if it's all even helping him.

Thanks for your help,

Michele
