My son has been on the protocol for several months, and he recently seems to be more hyperactive and anxious. Why is this?
If hyperactivity, anxiety, aggression, or agitation seem to start to increase inexplicably, there are a few thoughts one needs to entertain. If all aspects of recovery have stopped or are worsening, it suggests the protocol is not working, and attention should be directed at balancing the intestinal track more effectively. But other aspects of recovery are stable or continuing to improve. The increase in these negative behaviors is either from a recent trauma (physical, emotional, inflammatory), from an infection (sinus or dental issues?), or pain (teeth, abdominal cramping). An evaluation of these issues will lead you to the problem which needs resolving.
