Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Whenever I take zinc I get really nauseated to the point of getting a headache. I was told by a DAN doctor that this would be different for my son because he is autistic. Yesterday I supplemented zinc (trace minerals brand) and he promptly went to the toilet and threw up. He is not sick, after that he was fine. Just thought I would comment because he had failure to thrive as an infant/toddler because he would not eat much solid food. I thought it was sensory and digestive combined, but we have never responded well to zinc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I know people have told me this,but what is the most absorbable one again for zinc,Vitamin D,and magnesium again ? Subject: Re:zincTo: mb12 valtrex Date: Thursday, November 12, 2009, 9:39 AM This happened at my house as well. So, I used Zinc Gluconate/Picolinat e and started off with a small amount. I worked up the dose slowly. There may have been some slight nausea, but everyone is handling the zinc fine now, as long as we slowly upped it. It does seem to effect the GI tract, but oddly you can work up the dose and then be able to tolerate high amounts. This tells me that zinc is interacting with pathogens and toxins in the GI-lining more so than being a direct irritant. We take zinc on an empty stomach or not. What matters is starting low and working up the dose. It is suggested to also take Biotin, molybdenum and manganese with it, and to keep an eye on copper levels. We are supplementing a tiny amount of copper to ensure the zinc doesn't drive the levels down. But, some may have high copper levels and not need it. You can google KPU protocol and learn more about the zinc method to reduce toxins. Love and prayers, Heidi N Whenever I take zinc I get really nauseated to the point of getting a headache.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 My son threw up several times. We mentioned it to our DAN! doctor and he said that zinc causes nausea so it should always be taken on a full stomach. We made the change... problem solved. > > This happened at my house as well.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Let me add that if a child has failure to thrive, I would give them digestive enyzmes and remove foods that r harded to digest. Also would take out dairy soy egg corn chocolate and others that can irritate or do damage to GI tract. Then alos make sure the aminos are in line.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Same thing here. Our son would get terribly sick vomiting if his stomach was relatively empty. As long as he has plenty of food on his stomach...no problem. And I don't try to give any other supplement that might make him queasy around the zinc (like cod liver oil does for him). No problem after that. From: mb12 valtrex [mailto:mb12 valtrex ] On Behalf Of Jill Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2009 12:24 PM To: mb12 valtrex Subject: Re:zinc My son threw up several times.
