Guest guest Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Just a quick question. I read that chewing clothing is an indication of a nutritional deficiency, but am not sure what he is missing. Does anyone have any info to share on this???

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 DeFelice's book " Enzymes Go With Your Gut " says it's either a magnesium or zinc deficiency. It's absolutely true for my daughter... calls it the " chewies " ... On 4/18/07, sonsboyssamj <JSJLPB@...> wrote: > > Just a quick question.

For my #3, it meant food or supplement intolerance, or yeast overgrowth. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 For my son we up the zinc and the chewing increased. But we just added oral magnesium and the chewing has stopped. Might try that too if zinc does not help. Stacia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacia Hi, my son also is chewing everything, we just saw his DAN doctor last month. and I have told he is chewing everything, including his shirts, new clothes, actually looks like rats been chewing on his clothes. lol! she told me to put him on molybdenum supplement. I think I have spelled it right. and that should help. I thought it was comming from the MB-12 shots. she said no, had something to do with his zinc. and molybdenum regulates the zinc and copper ratio, from what i was reading. I haven't had a chance to buy it yet. but so anxious to do so and see. he is still chewing on everything along with the stimming and grabbing my clothes and my daugthers clothes anything that has strings that you tie on your clothes he is even chewing on that. I would try that. if the other does not work. good luck and let me know how it went. I am curious. since my son is going thru the same thing. nancyannette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
