Question 1

My son is 5 weeks in, and has started tip toe walking and spinning in circles. Is this normal and why does this happen?

Accepted Answer

Tiptoe walking is an indication that there is low brain blood pressure.  If this has only occurred after starting the protocol with inulin, then I suspect the dose of inulin is too high, or there has been a recent brain trauma (physical, emotional, or inflammatory).nnLow brain blood pressure can often increase anxiety.  This could be seen as an increase in stemming, spinning, chewing, and OCD behaviors.
