,

Have you checked for parasites or bacterial infections? This kind of thing

would be one of my guesses, based on our experience.

Gluten/wheat does that to me.

When he is in his funk everything is bad, never has a nice thing to

say about anything, and generally seems pretty unhappy with life (and

he's not much fun to be around).

This is my older son's standard 'reaction' to any food or supplement

that isn't agreeing with him right off (before the head-banging sets

in). In direct contrast he is The Happy Child otherwise.

Unfortunately I can't be more specific. It has happened with DMG,

dairy without Peptizyde, a few multi-vitamins I don't know why, and

weather changes. It could be a number of causes.

He runs low in serotonin and will get this way when he misses his

Zoloft. Is your son sensitive to hypoglycemia or serotonin swings?

I'm not sure how to answer that. He definitely gets grumpy with low

blood sugar, but his current behavior happens even if he has eaten

recently. How does one know if they are experiencing a serotonin swing?

The last time he got like this was when I removed his MSM. Adding it

back in fixed the problem, but we haven't changed the level of MSM he

takes in a very long time.
