Tracey-I have never had success in stopping finger

chewing. My most recent posts referred to my 7 yr/asd

son starting to chew and pick at his fingers shortly

after introducing vitamins. We are on our 74th day

scd. I guess he started the finger biting between 3-4

years of age and it went on until around age 5. It

was awful and nothing we tried would stop it. We were

living in Alaska at the time, so he wore his mittens

outdoors for months at a time and we spent a lot of

time indoors playing astronaut for which I'd make him

wear his mittens and call them " space gloves " but as

soon as the gloves were off, the chewing would start

up. I still can't figure out why it stopped when it

did about 1.5 yrs. ago. I just panicked a little when

he started it again this past week, but he didn't do

it yesterday or today.

I wish I could be of more help to you. I have three

children (both boys are asd) and they are all on scd.

I haven't introduced any new food or supplement lately

because we knew we wanted to start their new vitamins

without dealing with any adverse reactions to new

foods, so perhaps there is a link between the vitamins

(which have extra B6 and magnesium) and the recent

return of finger biting and other behaviors.

I wish you and your precious child well-
