Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Maybe, but, I'm not sure... I'm giving him the supp's per my DAN (she added a few including zinc but mostly increased our previous plan) I haven't separated the supp's on purpose but most of the time I have been giving him the zinc two or three hours away becuase it takes that long to get it in him (he hides them spits out throw on floor etc but eventually will swallow it) good to know so i can give the liquid at a different time also Starting to get complicated!! B-12, zinc, supp's, probi'/SaccB yowza. --- Wiseman <cwiseman@...> wrote: > > Amy, Might there be some other supp needed for him > to metabolize zinc?
