Re: Glutamate and minerals

[Guest guest]

B6 and magnesium should reduce glutamate levels. Magnesium might be used

up rapidly as oxidative stress increases, something pretty normal in our

kids:-)) I believe the stress might arise from thyroid deficiency and

then the adrenals work overtime to compensate. Constipation is related

to hypothyroidism, lots of studies to show slower colonic transit time

in this ondition.

Have you checked that with thyroid testing (not that they always tell

the truth). Best is to take basal underarm temp in before getting out of

bed.

Hi Belinda

Magnesium should be calming but it's possible the mag citrate isn't agreeing

though. Do you use epsom salt baths? We found these very calming for Eddie

(although beware, I know for some kids this can make things worse!).

There's a few sups that are meant to help control glutamate levels: GABA,

pycnogenol and theonine may be worth considering. Do start slow and low

though... even in spite of the hurry!

I know there's a lot of constipation expertise on this group if that turns out

to be the real problem. Oxypowder is our favourite tool for that!

Best wishes

Tim

on the forum again. I have had a week now of no sleep and am about to take

to A and E to see if he has an impaction so I can rule that out. BUT he

has high glutamate levels and have removed the zinc for three days but that has

made no difference and am now wondering if mag citrate could be the culprit? I

started that to help with constipation and have been increasing the dose over

the last few months. Hasn't helped the constipation so guess that could come out

too.
