Guest guest Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 , My little guy had the same issue 2 months back .Things that worked for us 1. Increase zinc. I dosed it 3-4 times a day , small amount at a time. We did the big dosing and it didnt help. Other thing is i used different forms of zinc. Liquid zinc from kirkmans, brainchild minerals and zinc monomethionine. The rotation throughout helped bigtime 2. Yeast protocol . Increase it and see 3. The problem started when i started using DMSA supps once a day . It was a huge amount of chelator . Now am on AC protocol frequent dosing with way less problems and stims. Hope this helps.

Try giving zinc/copper, this worked to maintain ratio for a while for my #1. I gave 200% zinc and 100% copper for probably 2-3 months. This was 30mg zinc and 2mg copper.

Calcium can be constipating if the child is deficient and the calcium is not given with sufficient magnesium. My kids were calcium toxic, and one of the symptoms that giving extra calcium caused, was diarrhea. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 , just wondering if you were chelating and what round you may be on? If so tell the group and they may help dial in better to kiddo's needs. Not sure if this applies but sometimes the body needs a bit of a break as they need to re-mineralize. Sometimes it just gets over a hump in the process. Sometimes many changes make it harder to find what is actually going on and returning to a baseline helps sort this stuff out. Just mentioning we had these issues for " long " time before we started biomed and during chelation. Once we stared to make progress via chelation and were adequately supplemented the problem went away. But then when we hit chelation hard constantly 6- 9 moths (slow and steady of course) teeth grinding came back. We did ALL of what was suggested and then some. Took a chelation break revamped vitamin regimen / dosed more minerals at night etc… / re-mineralized and have not had a problem since. I swore the Pantothenic acid was a key player, but can not say that definity BC we took all the above into consideration as well. And it was the last thing we did. This may not be your situation but hope it may be of some help for some clues. Hang in their it may be a matter of finding the current needs, which will bring you further along in the process.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Read up on Yasko's theory about calcium. (glutamate is the gun, calcium is the bullet)-just another perspective - read it, take it in as information then accept or reject it. I haven't supplemented calcium in years. Occasionally my son's blood test or urine test shows low but usually it is just fine. > > My kiddo is 20 months and breastfeeds a lot, so I'm kinda nervous > > about increasing his calcium further.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Hi , We recently started treating for parasites based on symptoms (hyperactive, hyperverbal, HUGE appetites/poor growth, teeth grinding - none of these things have responded to three years of biomed - there were a few other symptoms that escape me at the moment). Dr. Usman asked us if we wanted to run tests but when I asked if we would treat regardless, she said yes because they don't always show up in the stool samples, etc. We decided to forgo the test and begin treatments.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Not chelating right now, my son had very bad reactions to two rounds of Cutler protocol DMSA a couple months ago and we've been trying to " bring him back " ever since, especially with regard to insane yeast problems and general gut problems, as well as new things such as teeth grinding. So we took the calcium up another notch and suddenly, no more grinding! We've only been grind-free for 1 day so perhaps it's too soon to celebrate, but it's looking like this round of teeth grinding is a calcium issue.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 So parasites don't always show up on stool tests? Rats. Hm, the only one of those symptoms my son has is teeth grinding, and that has recently improved with more calcium. Well, he also has a huge appetite but also lots of growth (very big & tall, tops all the charts). What is the treatment you're using, out of curiousity? > > > > > > Have you looked into parasites? > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 If the grinding responded to calcium then I wouldn't think it was related to parasites. Dr. Usman also said that some kids with parasites have behavior patterns and sleeping trouble that is affected by the cycle of the moon. Mine fit that description too. We are using VRM products 10 days on/5 off. I understand it will take a long time. I know that each cycle after four days off the products, they are even more hungry and my daughter starts complaining that her bottom hurts (can't really see anything). Then the first few days back on the products my son is more emotional and my daughter is more hostile and aggressive so hopefully that means we will see some good things in the long run.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Teeth grinding could also be deficiency of calcium , magnesium and /or zinc if teethgrinding goes on the whole day. But if it is only nightly teethgrinding it could be parasites. My son was a daytime whole day teethgrinder but absolutely no grinding in the night. We started with zinc and then magnesium and he have seen huge improvements (touchwood not to jinx my own words). For parasites we did testing through Quest anyway and it came negative but I have heard that more comprehensive testing like the 3-specimen test (CDSA- 3) through specialized labs like GPL, Genova are more effective. sudha > > > > > > > > > > Have you looked into parasites? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
