Dietary FAQ:
Should I be giving my child a vitamin supplement?
Absolutely. Poly-vi-sol with Iron is probably okay to start with, or order a gluten-free multivitamin & mineral formula from your natural foods store, or from Kirkman Labs (800-245-8282). Kal Dinosaur Chewables and "I Love Schiff" liquid and chewables are tolerated by many food-sensitive children, and are available with or without minerals. Because many autistic children have been reported to improve on a regimen of vitamin B6 and magnesium, you may want to order a supplement rich in these nutrients from a lab such as Kirkman. For a 40 pound child, Dr. Bernard Rimland of the Autism Research Institute recommends 300 mgs. of B6 and 100 mgs. of magnesium per day. It is likely that in people with a leaky gut, absorption of B6 (which aids in nervous system function) could be greatly diminished.
