Guest guest Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Hi , We all did well on enzymes. Tim and I didn't expect to be taking them too! - but we all take them now and it'll be 2 years in July/August. We're glad we tested them out on ourselves :-) We use the Houston enzymes and get them from www.mandimart.com. Houston appear to be by far the most preferred for people on teh spectrum. We give vits and mins together with each of 3 meals per day (never late in the day) Best wishes, Sandy > > > > Hello everyone - > > I remember reading a few weeks ago here that vitamins are excitatory > and minerals are calming (or words nearly to that effect).

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Hi I remember reading a few weeks ago here that vitamins are excitatoryand minerals are calming (or words nearly to that effect). About howlong before bedtime do those of you who find the vitamins "excitatory"give them? >>I give vitamins in the daytime mostly because I have too much else to give at night. The B vitamins are often the ones that tend to excitory Also - was there a guideline on EFAs? Is there any benefit to givingthem at a particular time of day or are they fine dosed any time of day? >>Best given with a meal I think Also - I have the impression that fat soluble vitamins are ok to doseonce per day - would someone correct me if this is incorrect? >>Nope thats cool I am curious about the enzymes. I don't *think" my son has gutproblems - but I want to make sure I am not missing anything. Isthere any harm in trying enzymes to see if they make any difference? >>None at all If I were to try that - what is the enzyme product most likely tohelp? (I have read about Houston, but there seem to be so many products) >>I love Houstons, I sell Houstons because I love em Mandi x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Hi , There is a file in the files section called Supplements that can give you some more information on scheduling supps (what to give when, what not to give with what, etc) and problems to look out for.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hi Anita - That file has been open on my desktop and referred to at least once daily for a month! (you wrote it, didn't you?? - thanks!) When I saw the comment about vitamins being excitatory (and having a son who is prone to not being well-rested enough, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something silly by dosing vitamins 3-4 hours before bedtime. There is SO much info in the archives on this group and the autism-mercury one - it is so helpful to have documents like the supplement one to refer to - and at the same time there is so much additional info (including people's first hand accounts) in the archives it feels like the research is never done. This is quite a daunting undertaking at times. :-) > There is a file in the files section called Supplements that can give > you some more information on scheduling supps (what to give when, > what not to give with what, etc) and problems to look out for. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hi Mandi - Ok between your comments and Sandy's I think we will give the enzymes a try to see what we think! Another order from mandimart is in order! Speaking of which - I contacted Culturelle a while ago to see if there were any UK stockists and I was told NO! I ordered my first batches from Kirkman and had them sent. Why don't they give your info as a UK stockist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't they give your info as a UKstockist? >>Because I don't purchase direct from them, I use a middle man so they wouldn't know about me and also I only started last year. Nutricentre do Culturelle also but maybe they gets theirs through Kirkman also? Mandi x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi , I did write it and I really don't like to sound like I'm tooting my own horn by recommending it, but you might be surprised by the number of people who never access files, some poeple who don't even know files exist. I'm very happy it's been helpful to you :-) I need to update it soon. and at the same time there is so much > additional info (including people's first hand accounts) in the > archives it feels like the research is never done. Sorry, but it's not :-) > > This is quite a daunting undertaking at times. :-) That is a great sign that you can still comment on this whole journey in such an understated manner :-) Excruciatingly daunting is likely more accurate, but we're on this journey with some of the best poeple I've ever met in my life and that makes the difference.
