Need advice for zinc deficit

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My son is zinc deficit after chelating with ALA. He constantly sucks fingers,

bites objects and clothes. He starts to be silly. It drives me crazy. I added

liquid zinc and zinc capsule. But his zinc level is still very low. I learnt to

separate zinc and calcium from this list. Can you please tell me what else I

should do to increase his zinc level? supplement? food? timing? not absorb

properly due to some reason?

Any advice is highly appreciated!

--- Conie,

What time of the day do you give calcium?

what brands do you use?

Connie,

some kinds of zinc absorb better than others. Methionine, picolinate,

or citrate would be the kinds I'd be sure to try. Also, zinc will

absorb better if you can give it in small doses over the day. How much

does your son weigh and how many mgs are you giving?

The kind of behaviour you're describing can also be the result of low

minerals, not just low zinc. Silliness can be yeast.

are you giving his weight plus 20mg in zinc?

I note that it took over two years of constant daily zinc

supplementing at that level before my son was able to miss a dose and

not show symptoms. For him it was chewing on toys and items like that.

The sucking fingers, and chewing clothes was yeast in our house.

Ala chelation should not lower his zinc, but if you don't see these

behaviors go away with zinc, then look at yeast.

Give zinc with food also, it tends to make one nauseous on an empty

stomach.

These meant food intolerance and yeast overgrowth here, not zinc

deficiency.

Try ionic zinc which is easier to absorb, and/or tissue salts. Tissue

salts are a bit of a science in themselves so spend some time reading

up on it. Aka Schleusser Salts or biochemic salts. Usually even the

most sensitive person can take them without problems. This will help

with the absorption problem.

Hi Anita,

Thank you so much for your advices! My son is 48lb. I am giving him liquid zinc

sulfate heptahydrate 15mg X 2 per day. Is it too little?

I just added biocidin 3 drops on top of his anti-yeast supplement today.

Hopefully silliness will go away.

Thanks!
