Guest guest Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 We finally started our oldest son (turned 2 in April) on NV. I had some on hand and we had started it once before but he had a really hyperactive reaction/crying frequently so we took him off. My intentions were always to start him on it again but I wanted to get his GI issues under control. Well, our weekend started off so bad that I started him on it first thing Sunday morning. Starting about Thursday, he was screaming or yelling everything, talking in a rough voice, hyperactive and uncontrollable. I was at my wits-end. His attention span was short and his was difficult to play with. He has been getting just 1 heaping scoop for only 3 days but here are the improvements that I have seen: 1. Decreased hyperactivity 2. Speech has decreased but only the rough speech so he is still using most of his " functional " speech (which is still not much). 3. Better directive play although he is still fixated on numbers, letters, colors, and shapes (seems that he is hyperlexic although has not been diagnosed) 4. Decreased appetite; most would think this is bad but in fact, my son is 27 months 47 lbs and 42 inches tall. He has never seemed to have an " off " switch when it comes to eating and stuffing his mouth has always been an issue. But even as early as yesterday, he pushed food away and said " all done " 5. Recognized emotion. He has never done this before but today he realized that my niece was sad and hugged and kissed her to make her feel better. I have not seen much improvements in his articulation but he has already made huge progress in this area so I am less concerned about that. I'm looking for help with the areas above so the fact that after 3 days, he is showing improvements is amazing to me. I can't wait to see where he is in just a few weeks. My only other concern is that he is still having GI issues so I hope that we don't have to stop again. He is no longer on fish oils either so we really need to get that under control. thanks to this group for introducing NV! Krista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
