Children with Down Syndrome differ from the typical population in many ways nutritionally. The multi-vitamin and trace metal deficiencies they experience are long term. One reason people with DS experience nutrient deficiencies is from improper absorption in the gut. It is necessary for children with DS to be tested for nutritional deficiencies and commence allergy-free diets with relevant supplementation as early as possible to allow maximum development.
