Vitamins?? | Autism PDD

Just wondering which multiple Vitamin or vitamins you give your children.

I am tired of buying different bottles..and wondering if I am giving the right ones or not.

I am thinking of trying Kirkmans vitamins??

Thanks,

Kelly

The only vitamins I have found that my son will eat are the flinstones vitamins.

Right now I am trying super thera nu by kirkman labs. When my daughter was 2 she would eat any vitamin thinking they were all delicious candy..then she got older. I bought some trials of the liquid super thera nu and the powdered. The liquid was particularly nasty and smelled like vitamin b complexes. The orange flavored powder tastes a lot like Tang and I hide it in passion-orange juice. My daughter has the ability to sniff out and reject any supplements..don't know how long this will last. The good thing about kirkman's is that super thera nu is high in the B vitamins that our kids need, but if they won't take it... a flintstone is a great alternative.

nene38580.0148148148I give DS Yummy Bears Multivitamin and mineral supplement.

I have in the past tried- Kirkman's EVeryday, Cod Liver Oil, Calcium and Magnesium supplements.

I give multivitamins (have to crush them up and add to his juice), as well as Super NuTHera and DMG and folic acid. We also give an occasional calcium supplement be/c ds is drinking rice milk. My ds won't/can't take pills, and won't drink juices, so Chocolate Pediasure is our lifesaver. It's for nutrional value only though, not necessarily vitamin therapy.

My son was diagnosed a year ago with Autism (mild-moderate). He is now 3yrs old and amazing!!!! We put him on B6 and Magnesium Therapy and recently DMG. He takes 300 mg of B6 and 100 mg of Magnesium Oxide every day, 1/2 Flintstone multivitamin and 250mg a day of DMG. Our son now interacts with his peers, uses eye contact, talks non stop, and his melt downs have disappeared. It wasn't an easy decision but after talking on the phone with the Autism Research Institute we tried it and where AMAZED at the changes in him within 24 hours. I do advise doing this under a doctors care and having the B6 and Magnesium Oxide compounded into suspension form. It's flavored that way and a lot easier to give.

Thought for the day:

Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.
