it should be with food, anytime he eats not 1/2 cap daily. I would recommend

you use Houston anyway, they are much better. DAN drs generallly RX Kirkman

products.

Sounds reasonable As long as he doesn't have an allergis response to these

supps, they are all quite safe

Yikes-who could blame you for being overwhelmed! Forgive me please

if this sounds offensive, but I think your DAN is completely nuts for

telling you to try all that at once!!! Soooo many kids react to

things and you will have no clue what works and what doesn't if you

try it all right away. What an assault to your little guy's

body,too. In just our experience alone, my daughter does not tolerate

CLO; She does tolerate Culturelle, but not any other probiotics we've

ever tried. Enzyme Complete was a bust with us, but the HNI enzymes

got us off the gfcf diet successfully along with many other added

benefits. We have added and removed many supplements over the

years...I would really recommend taking it slowly and doing lots more

reading. One great site-if you haven't been there yet-is

enzymestuff.com Best of luck

According to NAET and BIOSET, there are many people with intolerances to Vit.

C.

Nope, don't give everything all at once. You just never know, and if you do

it all at once, then you'll have a much more difficult time eliminating a

problem supplement. All children are different. Just because it shouldn't be

a problem, doesn't mean it won't be a problem, but that's after years

experience. We do the CLO, this can be a problem if the source is

contaminated, but Kirkman has a good product. We also do the Culturelle, we

very much like it, but it caused constipation, and we needed the probiotic

Perfect Stool Formula to move the poo out. So we use a combo of Culturelle

and Perfect Stool Formula and are very happy. My son shouldn't have had a

problem with the Vit.C and zinc the Doctor sent home with us, but he did.

Never could have predicted that, but there it is, and because I introduced

them only a couple of days apart, it took me awhile to decide if it was one,

the other, or both or that particular combo. I too research everything to

the best of my ability. I understand your frustration. Good luck to you and

your child, those were the only two products I could contribute any user

info. on.

What do these supps do?

> However, here's what he want us to give our son so far:

Definitely add them one at a time, starting at low dose. Here is what I know

about each one.

> 1. Taurine - 325 daily

Amino acid [protein block], helped one of my kids with behavior issues for about

3-4 months.

> 2. Acetyl-L-Carnitine - 250 mg 2x a day

Amino acid, helps certain kids with low muscle tone.

> 3. Cod Liver Oil (forget to give us the dose)

Helps with visual issues, as well as an EFA. Start at 2500 IU, work up from

there if required.

> 1. EnZym-Complete/DPP-IV - 1/2 capsule daily

This will do nothing unless you give it before each meal.

> 2. ProBiotic Gold - 1/2 capusle daily in the morning

> 3. Culturelle - 1/2 capsule daily in the evening

Probiotics. Will be good so long as they are tolerated.

> He also suggested B12 shots.

I would try oral B12 first, because the shots are very high dose, and one of my

kids got VERY over-emotional and started head

banging [which he had never done before] when I gave him more than 200 mcg per

day.

>

> We don't have any test results back. Are these things safe?

In my *opinion*, unless your child does not tolerate them, everything except the

B12 shots is safe. The B12 shots are safe ONLY if

your child needs the high dose of the shot.

> we had to work up to the recommended dosage and introduce one thing

This would have caused one of my kids to possibly require hospitalization.

Definitely start one at a time, at low dose.
