was: spitting...AND LOTS OF IT - update on biotin, inositol and zinc

January 10, 2008

Hi,

Just wanted to give a quick update on this and ask a Q re. biotin. Despite

all my attempts to only do one supp. at a time, I decided to 3 changes. The

reason being a very uncomfortable, spitting, OCD child.

So per NAET doctor, I added zinc back in 20 mg per day in addition to multi,

at night. I know for this to work (for the spitting) you need to give a few

days, which I did (about 3 days). The spitting continued with perhaps somewhat

lesser intensity. At the same time, Evan went through a bug, or a virus went

through him, which manifested in fever and diarrhea. He is still home b/c of the

diarrhea. He has been very rigid and tantrumy now for about 2 weeks, which may

have been the beginning of this virus, and has been a major complaint besides

the spitting. Anyhow, I started giving HIGH doses of Inositol, as someone

suggested I would, and the intensity of my sons rigidity and tantrums decreased

by about 60%. I upped the inositol just yesterday. I also added Biotin (4 mg

divided into 2 doses) accodrding to Dana, and took Uva Ursi out. Now I am not

sure if this is possible at all but I had a smiling and calmly sleeping child

within 2-3 hours of giving him his first

dose last night. He slept really well, not squeezing me and tortured by

anxiety....He keeps smiling today. Still spitting though. But what a change

from the anxious and upset child I had before!

So thanks for all the advice to everyone.......I did have one more question -

how far up can you go with biotin, and do you have to rotate that or can I just

keep him on that? I am happy with how my son's acting and feeling right now but

once we start detox, I know yeast will go up. Can I up the biotin, or would you

do something else then?

Anyhow, thanks so much for everyone's advice. All have been so helpful!
