Sensory Processing Dysfunction (SPD) refers to when the brain has trouble organizing information from the senses. Children with sensory processing issues can be over-sensitive or under-sensitive to sights, sounds, textures, flavors, smells and other sensory input. Here are some of the reasons that this happens:

• Low B6 (p5p) and magnesium
• Food intolerance
• Gastrointestinal issues, such as:
  • Fungal overgrowth in the gut
  • Pathogenic bacterial overgrowth in the gut
• Problems with sulfation
  • Epsom salt baths might help
• An underlying infection, such as Strep or Lyme
• Excessive amounts of heavy metals in the blood or tissues
• Retained primitive reflexes
