Re: What is the best Calcium supplement and can it help eliminate PICA?

MB12 shots caused extreme mouthing for us. Are they on them?

What is the best Calcium supplement and can it help eliminate

PICA?

Calcium is one of the minerals we do not supplement. Could this be a reason for

my boys' mouting? What would be the best brand and form of calcium for small

children? Is it true you should give it away from zinc?

What else can I try to reduce or eliminate their extreme mouthing? We already

supplement with 60 mg of zinc. They weigh 37 pounds. Any other suggestions?

Hi Dana

Hopefully the other Dana will chip in, but I believe that low Iron or yeast may

also cause this, although I personally would not recommend supplementing iron,

iron is probably better obtained through dietary means.

As for calcium Vital nutrients seem to have the least lead content.

Sorry I could'nt be more helpful

Possibly. Oral behaviors here were caused by intolerances and yeast overgrowth,

but zinc deficiency and other mineral deficiency can also be a cause.

Yes

First, I would try increasing the yeast protocol.
