[Guest guest]

For those of you using Zinc for this, how much are you using?

> In the past few weeks my 8yo HFA daughter has suddenly become quite

orally fixated so much so that it's like being with an infant in

having to watch what goes into her mouth (rubber bands, a feather, the

window...).

For one of my kids, it means one [or more] of the following:

1. Ate a " bad food " without enzymes.

2. Yeast/bacteria is a problem.

3. I forgot his zinc supplement.

I use RDA for my kids and they do fine with that amount.
