Makes a huge difference with my son....I give it a few hours after the last dose

and continue for a couple days after.....No more issues at all.............

The first 4 or 5 days after a round are difficult. He has increased

heartburn and stomach aches, and behavior issues. Then he mellows out and we

see the increased speech, the new words, the happy boy who dances down the halls

and now sings along to his favorite songs (real words, not just humming!)

Are the first few days after a round hard on your kids, too? What might I do to

make it easier?

Finished round #7 ALA 25mg, every 3 hours by the clock, around the clock, every

other weekend.

I think charcoal causes constipation and that is a big issue for him.

Constipation causes head banging. Maybe I need to try pectin, I have heard

about using it but actually don't know where to buy it.

We've used apple pectin. I've used it for rough days after a round, when

we go on a serious yeast attack I give it a few hours after the

anti-fungal, and sometimes if he's just really " off " charcoal seems to clear

him a

bit. I don't use it on a regular basis but have used it for 2 or 3 days in a

row and not had constipation issues.

You could use something like mag citrate, which is known to soften stool

when using pectin. For my son, an epsom salt bath gets him going. He goes

like clock work so if one day goes by and he doesn't have a BM, I usually

give him a good soak in the tub with some epsom salts and he goes within

minutes of getting out of the tub

The dose is too high. Find the dose where side effects are manageable and only

go on for ONE day after the round.
