Mseth.....I really don't have any solid advice on this.
Since too much intake of zinc will cause lower copper levels, i would look for possible sources of zinc exposure. But like Chirley stated, it's almost impossible to avoid it in foods. A few years back, zinc toxicity in denture wearers was attributed to the added zinc in denture creams. I think they removed zinc in denture creams here in the states. Also consider any topical lotions/sunscreens.
I would probably look to food sources first especially since her copper is in the low-normal range. But that's just my best guess.
