Pyroluria and Tics

[BikeWP]

Hi Everyone

 

Thanks for your posts on my page regarding "Both Kids have Tics".

I took your advice and got my son tested (blood, urine and stool). THAT took forever!

Can someone please fill me in a little about Pyroluria? He apparently has this, along with some other things (gluten allergy, cane sugar...). I know that it has to do with lack of B6 and Zinc but how much should I give and has anyone seen a difference? My integrated med doctor wanted me to buy his vitamins but I am sure that they will be very expensive (as you know, integrated docs are NOT cheap). Any recommendations?

 

As always, any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi, I can't give you any great advice regarding pyroluria but I do recall in my own searching that gluten and casein intolerances are very common in individuals with pyroluria...so what came first the chicken or the egg??? I believe pyroluria is thought to be genetic as well(could be wrong on that one). As far as dosage, I'll leave that to the more knowledgable members but I wish you the best.
