UPDATE on 3 yr old ASD son who won’t eat | Autism PDD

Oh, sorry...of course. Well, I'm in Sydney, Australia, so not sure if this one is available worldwide...but it's called "Penta-Vite" liquid multivitam with iron. For children 2 to 12 years. I think it's made by Roche. Hope that's helpful.

MairiW,

That is such wonderful news!!  Thanks so much for giving us an update!!!

You know, now that you mention this, we've noticed a huge growth spurt in Luke and his eating has improved (not so much the different types, but the quantity).  We started him on Super-Nu Thera and DMG (from Kirkman Labs) and increased his folic acid and Vit. C intake.  Since he eats almost NO veggies or fruit, we figured that at minimum he needed more vitamins going into him (including a daily multivitamin, of course).  Not sure if the vitamins improved his appetite or if he's just a growing boy, but thought I'd mention it here. :)

Glad to hear that your son is eating better!!

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to give you a little update on my post from a couple of weeks ago. I posted on ideas on how to get my son to eat, as he eats only about 3 things, and even they were dwindling. We were getting very concerned about him not getting enough food. I'm sure this kid would happily starve before putting something in his mouth !!  LOL.

ANYWAY...we have had an enormous breakthrough and I just can't believe it. We already load his milk with vitamins/omega 3 oils etc each day but I decided to TRY using a different multivitamin supplement in his milk. Nothing special, just one we hadn't tried before from the chemist. WELL....low and behold...two days after starting this new supplement, this boy is suddenly SO HUNGRY!!!! Still only eating the "accepted" foods, but is dragging me over to the food cupboards so much more often and is just wanting to eat and eat. He is eating more in one meal now than he was in a whole day before!!! His pre-school (school for autistic children) COULD NOT BELIEVE the difference on him in such a short time.

So...I just wanted to share that with you all. It may be worth a try to some of you who are struggling with food issues. It's been over 2 weeks now on the new supplements and he's still going strong. He's put on some weight too.

Big smiles today!!!! (sorry this was sooooo long!)

Hugs, MairiW.

That is great news!    Perhaps you could share what supplement worked for those who may be experiencing similar problems.        We are happy for you and your son!   bonnie
