Thanks. Does that have to be 100% of dairy out of the diet? Like if bread or muffins or something are made with it, is that okay or not? Thanks!

Wow, forgive me for the aside but I just have to say... we have come *such* a long way on this forum in the last fews years now that threads in Allergies are about supplementing magnesium and mentions "The Work"!?

I LOVE IT

And for my 2 cents, the sulfur in addition to the magnesium in epsom salts doesn't work for DS... that hypes him up. We find good success with MSM in AM only. We can't do baths in the AM because there is no time before school. We do magnesium chloride baths at night and that has been really amazing for both of us. I have no idea why some people relax with epsom salt baths and we get energized and can't sleep!

And other issue is the lactose... this can cause digestive and behavioral issues as well in our house. Raw milk/cream is just fine (contains the enzyme lactase that digests the lactose but is killed with heat pasteurization). Butter and aged cheese do not have lactose, heavy cream very little.

For the things that don't come as powders, or if there's a big price difference between liquid and capsule.

I'm so jealous you can do cinnamon, we've added back some lower salicylates but the higher ones are still NO WAY.

Hi can i ask what magnesium supplement you use for your child and if you still give them milk,yoghurts,cheese etc? My son is very hyper,aggressive,agitated etc and after ready this i am definately giving it a go this is the 2nd day of my trial ive given him no dairy at all and used soya milk for b/fast and giving him multi vitamins which contain 75 mg of magnesium and no calcium along with pumpkin seeds,raisins,wholewheat etc throughout the day and i defo see a difference but am wondering about the no calcium and if i do start to introduce it back to his diet how much magnesium he will need etc xx

Also can doctors diagnose mag defficiency? or is it just trial and error as my son is being sent to a centre to be tested for adhd,hyperactivity etc and no one has mentioned this to me :(

Wow! Old message! We finally found out about 6 mo ago what was wrong with my dd and her behavior from hell, she has Pyroluria which causes a severe deficiency of Zinc/B6 which creates a chain reaction of deficiencies including magnesium. Now we just treat the Zinc/B6 issue and everything else falls in line. Were also GFCF and well as avoiding artificial stuff as that causes major ADHD behaviors. With the right treatment I have a brand new child who gets A's and B's and the Bipolar 1/ADHD is GONE and she's been med free for a long time.

Do be careful of the soy stuff, has a huge hormone load thats bad for boys.

can the doctor diagnose this or is it all trial and error?

The Pyroluria is a simple urine test, we used http://biocenterlab.org/tests/urine/pyrroles.shtml the rest is trial and error. That said that $72 was the best money I EVER spent!
