1 Tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (California Olive Ranch with COOC Seal)
1/2 Tsp of Now Brand Inulin
1 pill of Now Brand DHA-500 Fish Oil
What a process this could be for those without patience! Especially with a non verbal child. (Babbling nonsense as always) Monica turned six at the end of April 2019.
I think for those kiddos on the spectrum that are normally pretty happy children, besides occasional meltdowns it will be hard to know if you are actually helping their brains heal.
Monica keeps her brain busy. Her tablet, thumbing through her books, toys. Outside play. Music on tv, youtube. She knows the difference between Josh Groban, and Ed Sheeran, not just by the music, but by facial recognition.
She uses her IPAD Touch Chat program to tell you what she wants. Albeit Milk, Cookies, Yogurt, Playdoh, Bubbles.. but she will. If there is not an item she has available to show us. She points to the object and uses the IPAD to tell us what color.
Many will wonder why I started at 1/2 tsp of Inulin. We know our kiddos. Monica is super body healthy. Every doctor, dentist, therapist has told me that. I have had her on 1290 ml of Fish oil for a year before I heard about the NP. I also had her on Vit D3 and K2 from another study I had read. This little girl had trouble pooping until I consulted with her MD, her GP and her Behaviorist and we chose the Fish Oil and the vitamins supplements. She has been regular every since. I did change to all the official ingredients recommended by Dr N.
I did not see any discomfort with her tummy ever in 12 days since she started. At this point these are her dosages. I won't add to it for at least a year.
Again. The entire purpose of this post is because I think there are many kids on the spectrum that are like Monica. Obviously on the spectrum, even heavy sensory issues, flapping, stimming.. but very hard to tell if we will see any real changes until the brain starts healing.
Bless you all for sharing this journey with me. I have had the flu all week, and just finally starting to feel a little better.
