DoriansMom Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 We had our son's first Teachers meeting of the year and they told us they have seen a big diffrence in Dorian for about 3 weeks now. That is exactly when we started giving him the magnesium supplement!!! We never told his Teacher's anything about the supplements, I am so happy about this because we have seen huge changes at home as well. I just wanted to pass this on incase anyone was thinking of trying magnesium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovedogs Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 That's wonderful news. How much magnesium are you giving him? I give my ds around 400 mg and I've yet to see a positive change, or any change for that matter, from using magnesium. I give it to him because I believe many of us are mag. deficient but I'm not sure it's ever helped the tics or attention issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemar Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Bonnie, what kind of magnesium do you give? Remember things like mag oxide are almost useless as hardly any of the mag gets absorbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoriansMom Posted November 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 That's wonderful news. How much magnesium are you giving him?

I give it to him because I believe many of us are mag. deficient but I'm not sure it's ever helped the tics or attention issues. I only give him 85mg of the Peter Gillham's magnesium, it is a powder form you dilute in water. I tried giving him more but it made his stools very soft. So I cut it back to 1/4 tsp 2x a day and it seems to be the right amount. If his tics come back I will probably up the amount to 3/4tsp. We also give him HMF Forte probiotic, if that is doing anything I am not sure, but I wont stop just incase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
