We actually just started our 2 and 1/2 year on a zinc supplement as a way to help with weight gain as he's very close to getting a g tube. He started a few weeks ago and the results we're immediate. He started eating ravenously and gained maybe a two pounds, gotta go in and see how much for sure. He has started to slow down a little on eating, but we never experienced him eating like that before.
The only thing is the liquid zinc tasted horrible so we ended up giving him yummy bear gummies with echinacea and zinc. His dietitian said it would be ok for now. And from my research Echinacea doesn't become toxic just stops being effective as a immune booster. Which is fine for our purpose.
Why was it recommended for you?

My daughter is on source cf which has some zinc but also is on another zinc med. She take 4ml extra daily. We make sure its all taken with enzymes. Her GI doc actually wanted her to be on extra zinc. She said it helps with growth. Pretty much if your body gets all the nutrients it grows at its best. Therfore, good growth, healthy lungs. Grayson has been on zinc for about a year now or a little more. She has done well with it. She is almost 17 months, 29 in tall and 21 lbs (around 40%). We are very pleased with her progress. Grayson also has short gut which she doesn't absorb well. The GI doc we have is great. I hope this might help out. You can pm me if you want more history about graycie.
