Use of Vitamin E orally

0 Recommendations

Hi all,

My 9year old son has Wilson's. He has been on T for almost a year with no changes in any of his levels. In the last week the GI put him on a vitamin e supplament and all of a sudden he started dumping much more copper in his urine. Has anyone else use vitamin e to help with treatment?

Hello!
My 16 year old daughter (with WD) is having slow results with T. I'm curious what the dosage of vitamin E is. I'd like to give it a try.

The GI told me to do 400IU per day with a meal. I am not really sure how it's supposed to work, but they said his numbers got better, so who knows I'm willing to do anything at this point. : )

Hi Mama

my daughter is on vitamin E as well as a few other vitamins which she has with her breakfast every morning - she only has one a day now but was on 3 tablets a day...

Lauren was diagnosed in November 2007 - her LFT is back to normal and i am hoping to get some levels at the end of this month but she has been excreting enough...

Lauren is on trientine 2 morning and 2 night and zinc sulfate one late morning and one late afternoon..
I am in Australia - we dont have galzin but the sulfate does the same thing...

her dry weight copper was 959 - she presented with liver failure presentation...and KF rings

stay safe
