behind the times

I'm having trouble keeping up with entries. For a while I forgot, then I remembered but didn't have time. Now I'm still out of time but thought a quick update might be worthy.

Took my little one back to the ND for follow up and his gut wasn't healing. It was recommended we test for heavy metals. Wouldn't you know it - he has everything in his system that he shouldn't. And at 10 the detox is long and slow. The ND said for as high as his lead was, she was surprised he didn't show signs of autism. Hmm... older one has Asperger's (high functioning autism).

So I decided I wanted to test the older one too for metals. Can't do that until we make sure his gut can handle the test. So stool testing and guess what? He has a really bad bug that causes ulcers. Luckily its treatable with antibiotics. Then we treat his high yeast count, then we can finally test for metals. Plus his test showed him gluten intollerant - which means the whole family is most likely intollerant. Me too!? Who knew!?
