[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 589644, member: 84"] Thinking more mineral deficiency than vitamin.......and OTC vitamins don't do much to help a real deficiency anyway, different dosages. Her going for possible rotten food made it come to mind. I had a neighbor once who covertly ate dirt and chalk. She was in her mid-late 40's. She happened to let it slip in conversation once. I suggested she tell her doctor and be tested, sure enough.......Took a week or so for the script mineral to kick in, she felt like a new person and the cravings were gone. Thanks to my kidney issues I have a severe deficiency of B6. I could eat OTC B6 by the handfuls and still not get the dosage I get in script form. I need a high dose in order for it to be absorbed at all. OTC is better than nothing........but there is a vast difference. Seems your difficult child is more severe than Travis was........and he was hard enough to cope with when those behaviors were daily. Nor did I have violent behavior to contend with. Do they have any residential places near you where she could go if the evaluation shows it would not be wise for her to remain at home? (thinking long term as opposed to short term) [/QUOTE]
