Guest guest Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 My son Tanner at 13 started going through more typical " teen " behavior where he was always the nice kid before. Just like when I started fish oil when Tanner was 3 he went through his terrible twos. I'd say the best thing is to compare notes with parents of " normal " children and you'll be shocked to find out how difficult normal can be in ways some of us never experienced. Your choices are to try to lower the NV and hope it doesn't affect progress or to stop it -but I suspect at this point it's even possible his behavior may get worse if you add frustration on top of it. I suspect if he regresses in one aspect cognitively however he may go back to being compliant again. I say this from experience from my own son. I feel your pain -as much as I love the surges I miss my son that listened to what I said to him and didn't question much of what he was asked...now he questions and has an opinion on EVERYTHING. You should google terrible twos- there is a wealth of information all over and in this group many of our kids go through it late. And it's been normal to go through them after being put on fish oils- I suspect NV is stimulating in a similar way. The good news is that if this is what it is -it's a good and necessary stage of development...just like zits- we may not always appreciate each stage however!! I do cover the change in behavior here http://pursuitofresearch.com/products/nutriiveda/frequently_asked_questions/ but that's mainly for those when they first start the first week or so. Again sounds more like your child's on to this stage (video) http://www.cbs.com/daytime/the_talk/video/?pid=kdrGQkwZO2oNhKA61SmIRlrDk521fOtO Again much more if you google it and it's normal in this group to go through the terrible twos late. ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Thanks ! We have been off the NV for 2 weeks now and his behaviors have just started to return to normal in the last 3 days. He's had a few episodes, but not nearly as severe or long in duration. His sleep is also improving. With his EE and food allergies, who knows what ingredient in NV he was reacting to. Just glad I'm starting to get my kid back. Even my daughter said in the car today that she'd rather have a Henry that's hard to understand than a Henry that puts us all in tears.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 It has been awhile since you stopped Nv for your son.I was wondering if you tried it again and had problems again. We used chocolate last spring with our then six year old daughter and she had a horrendous escalation in behavior problems. We started her on the vanillla in 2010 fall and had no behavior escalations due to the NV. It actually has mildly mellowed out the behaviors.I know cinnamon and I think cumin are the only difference in the two,so perhaps it's other factors that I haven't figured out. I'd love to try the chocolate but am afraid to now. Was your son taking the chocolate? Also, there was brief mention that coincidently some of the people reporting surges were using the chocolate. Again, I'm just curious. take care, cheryl > > My son Tanner at 13 started going through more typical " teen " behavior where he was always the nice kid before.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Cheryl, My son has only taken the vanilla. He is on thickened liquids due to history of aspiration, so I thought the vanilla would mix better with fruit and yogurt. We do not plan to restart the NV in the near future. His behaviors and sleep issues have dramatically improved, but we're still not back to baseline yet. Luckily he has not lost all of the gains he made in speech on the NV. I do truly believe that he was reacting to some component of the NV, but with his multiple food allergies it's hard to tell what. Good luck with your daughter!
