When you say " important positives " , do you mean because you had

signs that things were working better? Or did you actually feel

better with better bile flow, etc.? I ask because I have assumed on

a couple of occasions that when I got the poop looking right, my son

would be in a good place. Really, that has not been my experience.

He is a pretty variable kid, and is definitely better when he is not

constipated, but there have been times when he has had normal

looking poops when he was as spectrumy as ever, and times when he is

just moving pale stuff and he loses some of the kooky behavior, can

focus better, etc.

How long did you take it? My kid goes wiggy when I try to pull him

off the wormwood/clove/black walnut tincture. I am afraid I have

gotten myself between a rock and a hard place here. One woman

posted that her kid's doc told her to give her daughter the anti-

parasitic for 3 months rather than the 2 weeks typically recommended.

Those are my same concerns for my son. Kind of afraid to try.
