my kid is constantly self-stimming 

do you think GABA will help with that too

she definitely needs help with falling sleep.

GABA is a wonderful supplement in our house! I give my 7 year old (weighs 60

lbs.)500 mg in AM, 250 mg in mid day, 500 mg at bedtime. Very neuro-calming, but

haven't heard about it reducing muscle spasms in the stomach. I've been told

that you should start out low and give it till it causes drowsiness. Kirkman

sells a 250 mg capsule. Taurine is a good supplement for the GI; helps my sons'

digestion, and is also neuro-calming. Have you tried digestive enzymes?
