Hi Janna,

Well, I have never heard of any holistic treatments available. If there are, it would be very hard to "try" them on children, especially the SW kind. Your daughter is lucky because with the NC she may not need to be treated all the time. There are some NC’s  that are not treated and do just fine. It just depends on the  labs and symptoms. Of course, you should always follow what your doctor recommends, but it is good to be nosy and always ask why and if it’s necessary to do or give them what they give your child.

Like I said I have never heard of any holistic treatments and I don’t know if I would trust them. I’m sure something may be out there but be weary and investigate it and talk to your doctor before ever switching to something like that. Weight gain can be a serious problem for a preteen or teen. It can affect their self esteem. I would try to make sure her meds are correct and of course (easier said than done) watch what she eats etc.....

Good luck

Sandra
