Guest guest Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 My friends daughter chewed on her neckline in her clothes all the time. I bugged him about trying the zinc until he gave in. When he did he said it stopped 90% of the chewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 kristi, recently my daughter has been doing this as well...she is on 25mg of zinc. do you think its safe enough to increase it to 50mg if she's 40lbs?

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hi, my son has started chewing on his sleeves and collars. He also chews on other things now such as toys, straws, etc. This has been going on now for a couple of weeks. I thought this was bacteria related? It seemed to start about the time we started to treat the yeast issues with GSE and culturelle. He has been on zinc for well over a month now. He is at 60mg and he weighs 38 pounds. The zinc obviously helped with his oral sensitivities, but I can't say it led to the chewing because the chewing just became a problem more recently, well after he had been on the zinc for a few weeks. Any thoughts? Kari > > My friends daughter chewed on her neckline in her clothes all the time. I > bugged him about trying the zinc until he gave in.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 The " FILES " section has recommendations for dosing. I believe we dose zinc here at 1 mg per pound of body weight, plus 20 mg. > > kristi, > > recently my daughter has been doing this as well...she is on 25mg of zinc. do > you think its safe enough to increase it to 50mg if she's 40lbs? > > TY > > N > > > > ________________________________ > From: Kristi Rowe <boopercat@...> > > Sent: Sun, March 6, 2011 7:06:58 PM > Subject: [ ] re: chewing on cloth > > > My friends daughter chewed on her neckline in her clothes all the time.
