Before you start on b6, treat the gut. B6 can exacerbate any yeast issues in the gut. Treat with probiotics, whole foods, fermented foods (kefirs) and I found Kirkman’s Colostrum beneficial. Digestive enzymes to help digest the foods completely so they don’t provide food for bad gut issues (bacteria/yeast). Lots of water and low to little sugar.

Epsom salts are magnesium sulfate and not harmful if he drinks it. But drinking it will cause loose stools and/or diarrhea. Essential oils may not be advisable if you can’t prevent him drinking it. Perhaps eliminate any bath toys that can serve as a cup/drinking vessel? I know their hands can do the same though.
