Question 1

My child is on inulin and has stopped improving. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like a Plateau in recovery. If I think the patient has plateaued, the first thing I do is to look for any new factors that might disrupt intestinal balance or cause new brain trauma. This could be a new supplement or probiotic that has been introduced, a significant new trauma (physical, emotional, or inflammatory), or a new chronic infection such as low-grade sinusitis or a dental infection. If present, address these issues first before assuming the inulin is no longer working.nnWhen the plateau does occur, I have my patients stop using any supplements, herbal remedies, chelation agents, homeopathic products, or probiotics if they have recently been added. We also treat any potential infections that might exist. Recovery should begin within a couple of weeks after eliminating the offending event or after the physical or emotional trauma.
