Re: Ready to Quit! Please Help with Toddler!

Thanks for the link to homemade pudding I already bought some at the store but I bought the preservative free kind. He actually takes the glutamine right out of the tablet. Weird I know.

Yep I have him on zinc.

One thing i did do today is buy him a multi (now brand) that has a little iron in it. Since I cant get his doc to test his iron I also read several articles on low iron and low ferritan levels in kids. Which I guess could happen since he doesnt eat a lot of meat.

One thing I noticed and maybe he was just super tired today because I got up at 4am and he woke up at 6am and didnt go back to sleep but wanted to sleep all morning practically. Usually he is wired all the time. So maybe the glutamine brought it down a notch. He did take 500mg this morning and also last night. Maybe too much too soon?
I also gave him 4 sprays of magnesium oil.

In the Attend I noticed it has glutamic acid and not glutamine so I am wondering if these are different I thought they were the same and also I really wish they would list the amount but since it is near the bottom of the list I would have to guess it is not a gram of it anyways.

Zinc is related to appetite..hmm interesting. I am wondering if anything he is taking is disrupting the zinc more??? I know Vitamin C, Copper, and Zinc all compete for absorption but He doesnt take vit. c accept what is in multi, nor copper besides the multi.

Does anyone know about 5htp because I read an article that I think was by peter breggin and states that low serotonin levels and not necessarily low dopamine is the reason ritalin works by affecting serotonin levels or something. Kids with ADHD are born with less tranmitters. Since I am bipolar and I had Depression before and after his pregnancy I could be possible.

Thanks so much for your help. I am learning because if I dont get this right I am not sure what else to do because I feel Like I have taken the right steps. Just putting finger on right mix. Also his speech hopefully is improving slowly and he will be in speech therapy monday. I did notice with nutrition alone his speech went from 2 words to 2 to 4 word sentences sometimes clear as day other times not.

Okey thanks again.
