My DS gets constipated very easily, and the GIPro multi didn't bother him in that way. We've given up on multi's, since he doesn't handle calcium supps. I used 1/2 scoop for him (1/2 recc'ed dose for 4yo).
The b12 in the multi is virtually useless - you have to take really high doses through the digestive system to get any into your bloodstream, especially if digestion is poor. And b12 is one of those things where it's hard to do too much - just keep adding until you don't see positive impact any more. Some little ones here do several of the jarrow sublinguals a day.
Any regular bed/futon/whatever will have flame retardants. Antimony is a very common one, and it is often mixed with arsenic (since the two are very similar chemically). If that is her exposure route, you won't make much progress unless you sleep her on a surface without flame retardants, or wrap the futon in high grade plastic (works, but sucks to sleep on). I got high quality, non-offgassing foam and wool from whitelotus.net, and made DS his own bed for about $120.
Oh yeah, forgot about your reverse osmosis water - in that case, less of a priority to test your water.
For coconut - use some coconut oil if you can as well, it's the biggest bang for gut healing.

. Will she have to be on supplements for long-term, or are we just hoping to bring up her levels so that she might begin to actually eat and get these nutrients from food? I am so stressed out wondering what is wrong with her and questioning myself on how to proceed.
. Long term, the need for some supps may diminish or go away entirely - or they will be a simple way to support some fragile pathways in her body so she isn't full of metals and garbage as an adult.
I don't get it.
