Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Listmates, I know a family that has a 18 month gf/cf daughter who had normal stools before she started taking her Kirkman supplements. When she started them it brought on diarrhea. We they removed them she became regular again in about 10 days. They started her back on the Kirkman Zinc 1/2 tsp in am and in pm. The diarrhea came back again. Their Ped. told them since the majority of all these children have gi issues this could be the beginning of her and she should still take the zinc because her body needs it. They are asking me of my advice. Off the top of my head I would think to remove it until the stools are normal and cut the dose back and see what happens. Has anyone else received diarrhea from zinc and should they 'work through it' or could it be the Kirkman brand isn't working for her. Thoughts?
