Yes. Often within a few months of starting The Nemechek Protocol, pica behaviors often stop occurring

Unfortunately, there are no effective methods to getting children to eat a wide variety of foods. But don’t despair. With continued use of The Nemechek Protocol, children almost universally will expand their food choices to a normal range.

Unfortunately, many children have developed a limited pattern of food preferences (the so-called picky eaters). While this can be frustrating and worrisome for parents, it resolves on its own over time. I recommend against adding vitamins to “make sure they get everything they need.” The importance of a wide variety of foods is less critical than most people think, and the high rate of fraud in the supplement industry provides the potential for harm. This is one of the major reasons I advise against supplementing with vitamins.

A Plateau is when bacterial overgrowth recurs either because the inulin is no longer effective or because the dose or schedule of dosing for rifaximin is no longer effective.nnIf I suspect my patient is experiencing inulin failure and has hit the plateau, I believe the best treatment course at this point is to discontinue inulin and treat the child with monthly courses of rifaximin. Inulin is not restarted after treatment with rifaximin since its beneficial effects have proven inadequate to control overgrowth.nnIf the plateau occurs while on monthly rifaximin, I then increase the dosing schedule to continuous, twice-daily rifaximin.
