I remember there was talk about zinc maybe helping with this.

Increase iron and zinc supplements. Also consider yeast. Just solved

this problem with my 4.5 year old son with autism.

My daughter gets 40 mg daily of Zinc (as Zinc Alpha Keto Glutrate)

and was within the normal range for zinc in her lab work, but I

looked at her vitamin supplement (D-Plex) and it doesn't contain

iron...I never noticed that. I am wondering if the makers of D-Plex

did that on purpose. Does iron interfere or increase the absorption

of anything?

Thanks for your help

Is there a good tasting iron supp for kids? Is there something you can get

at a compounding pharmacy that could be flavored? My son's blood test shows

low iron, and we have this problem, too. He has gotten zinc for 5 years, and

yeast isn't it for mine either. This is the first time I've heard about the

iron. I think you might have nailed it for us.

Thanks,

My #3 would do this when he was eating a food or supplement he did not

tolerate, or if he had a yeast issue. I would try increasing the

Peptizyde again, it sounds like she might need the full dose to fully

address the food issues.

Some kids stop this behavior with zinc.
