Guest guest Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Cal/Mag seems to help with this. we give our 6 yr old about a teaspoon a day of kirkman liquid. We would give him more but he hates it. Also, if we miss a day of his mineral supplement (several minerals in one) he chews his shirt, fingers, objects.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Rumination as in regurgitating the food? Mickie has been doing it for years and all I have been able to find about it on the internet is that it's a learned behavior and the only intervention that has worked for him is telling him to stop. Asking him to open his mouth and show me that he swallowed his food. I read that it can cause weight loss and it leads to other unmentionable behaviors. The trick is to get them not to do it for 120 minutes, after that the acids would start coming up and they don't do it anymore. I wonder if it's not an OCD thing? Just my thoughts, Zurama Mickie 12yrs Round #31 25mg DMSA 25mg ALA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
