Starting supplements- Any advice? | Autism PDD

You may get som yeast die off when starting the probiotic. I'd space starting the supplements so you can see the reaction. That way, if your child acta a little weird, you know what it might be. Here is some useful info about supplements.

Here is some info about fatty acids (the Cod live oil):

Hi,

I am starting my 4 yr old son (PDD_NOS) on vitamins/supplements. After doing some research and talking to a friend who does it I am going to start my son on the following:

Nordic Naturals 3,6,9 with Borage Oil

Kirkman multi-vitamin

Probiotic BoiK+ Threelac

Should I expect and crazy behavior or side effects when he starts these? Which is better to take the gel capsule or liquid version?

Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated. It is all a little confusing.

pills only absorb 10 % and liquids absorb 99.9 %

The most important thing is to start with low amounts and slowly build your way up.

I would start with the multi vitamin first.

Then add in the Nordic Naturals oil

If you are on GFCF I would try that

Then Digestive Enzymes

Then Probiotics

Then the three lac

Thank you so much for this information. I have been a little hesitant about doing the supplements/vitamins b/c I don't know that much about it. What kind of doctor would be able to talk to me about this and give me dosage information? A homeopathic DR- Pediatrician?

What do you know about giving Vitamin E and B12? A friend of mine with a son with Apraxia told me those were helping her som out. Is their a blood test I should have my son take to see what he is deficient in?
