Guest guest Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 something to remember is that on GF/CF it's easy to get low on molybdenum which we can usually get from wheat. molybdenum is needed for metabolizing phenols/polyphenols. check archives or google for more. if hyperactivity from MB12 it may be connected. also, if MB12 is activating brain detox this would explain irritation... B12 and SAMe are crucial to brain detox, possibly lower dosage or do epsom salt baths to help detox body more efficiently. Love these baths and they are easy and soothing. .......................................... I'm going to post a question to the group regarding an explanation of phenol metabolism...maybe answers will come from this.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 No, I haven't tried Melatonin. He's taking so many supplements and he's not even 2 years old yet so I feel scared. We give him the B12 in the morning around 8am and his bedtime isn't until 9pm so I don't know why he's having the middle of the night wakings? We do Epsom salt baths every night for 15 minutes (he doesn't like to stay in the tub longer). > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Our son, 2 years old, has been waking up crying unconsolably in the middle of the night.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Yes, he's on the GFCF diet as well. I'm sure the MB12 is causing this now because I didn't give it to him today and he napped for 2 hours with no problem and I'm hoping his bedtime will go smooth as well. Yes, we're keen on nightly epsom salt baths here:) > > > > Our son, 2 years old, has been waking up crying unconsolably in the middle of the night.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 You might also want to try Natural Calm which is an all natural powdered calcium and magnesium mix.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 No. It used to be, but you can get OTC now. Rite-Aid has a grpae flavor that is clear. (We have dye issues and so that is how I know.) However, if your doctor prescribes, then insurance will usually pay for it, as ours does. They just take it off the shelf and put a label on it. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Our son, 2 years old, has been waking up crying unconsolably in the middle of the night.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Does his B-complex have much folate? My kids needed 5-MTHF (methyltetrahydrofolate or active folate), not folic acid with their B12. Also, lack of liver support affects sleep quality. Milk thistle and a bit of molybdenum (we use BioCare liquid drops) helped with that here.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Sounds like tummy pain to me. I wouldn't try melatonin right away, for the very reason that you said he's crying inconsolably. That doesn't sound like a sleep issue, but a health issue that's making him cry, the pain bad enough to wake him. Puffiness under the eyes is a red flag for allergy. It might help to remove the allergen/s. Hallucinations and night terrors can be dietary. This presentation might be helpful: http://www.recoveryvideos.com/video/elaineweb.mov If you aren't already, I'd give a warm bath in epsom salts and baking soda (15-20 minutes) nightly. It will help with detoxification. It would probably benefit you to do the same for yourself - it improves sleep efficiency by 2/3. My son used to do the same thing, at about the same age. I didn't know much about biomed at the time, and he wasn't yet GFCF. A yogurt in the middle of the night was like giving him a tranquilizer. He went from seething/inconsolable to calm and snuggly. It was withdrawal waking him up. I suppose kids can have withdrawal symptoms from other foods... or it could be " die-off " . Of all the things I tried to calm my son when he was in that state, the cold night air seemed help. I'd wrap him in a blanket and stand on the snowy doorstep. He liked it so much, he'd sometimes scream if I tried to go inside again. It's the wrong time of year for that now, but maybe rocking him next the breeze of a cool fan would help. > > Our son, 2 years old, has been waking up crying unconsolably in the middle of the night.
