Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Does or did anyone's child have severe nailbiting, scab picking, hairpulling problems and if so, what (preferably supplement) helped reduce these urge behaviors? My dd 10 is dx OCD +tics, takes Zoloft and enzymes. Risperdal did not help, trial of inositol did not help--seemed to increase the nail biting.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 My daughter picks at her nails and pulls on her hair when she's starting to get yeasty. I increase the probiotics when I see this behavior. If that doesn't work it usually means we're in for more yeast-type behavior and I give gse and/or oil of oregano. > Does or did anyone's child have severe nailbiting, scab picking, hairpulling problems and if so, what (preferably supplement) helped reduce these urge behaviors? > > My dd 10 is dx OCD +tics, takes Zoloft and enzymes.

Has been yeast-related, especially the nailbiting. When I addressed yeast, the behaviors significantly reduced but still there somewhat. Adding zinc helped about 90% of the remaining issues. I just started biotin and it seems to be helping with his remaining issues in those areas. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
