That's me. Children's vits with all the junk in them never seemed to do anything for my kids.

M crushes hers up and puts it between slices of a pickle or tomato (usually).

S crushes his up (we have a mortar and pestle), puts it on a teaspoon and then blops a big drop of honey on top.

Rachel! I can't believe in all the time we've known eachother that we've never talked about our son's speech patterns! I really wondering why now since they seem to have so much in common?!

I was just reading about Taurine yesterday and was hmm'ing about whether to try it or not. With your advice, it feels like the angels are screaming at me, so I guess I'll pick up either some taurine or magnesium taurate tomorrow when I go to the big city. Thank you so much!! (I can 'hmm' forever until I get a good push from someone. )

I'd consider pulling nightshades if he's eating a lot of them and check out a list of phenols. There are high and low foods (though all foods have them). Put him on a low phenol diet for a couple of weeks (I believe that will take out the nightshades too but am not positive) and see how he does.

It may very well be that he's short on some vitamin somewhere too. It's really hard to know what to try first. My thought are with you on that! (hugs)

Kim, thanks for the info on crushing vitamins and then getting the children to take them! J
