No News

I talked with the doctor today that ordered the lab work last week for Eric. They found nothing. No yeast overgrowth, no excess bad bacteria, etc. I have to admit, I'm really disappointed. I don't want there to be something wrong necessarily, but with no news, there is nothing new to address. So I'm frustrated because we not only had to pay out of pocket for these tests, but I had to dig through his poop. I know, too much information.

This was one of the two avenues that, if they found something, we could address it with supplements or possible medication and it could make a world of difference. So between him not tolerating his first two vitamins (high levels of vitamin B--usually helps kids on the spectrum) and this, right now we are at a stand still with nothing to new to do.

The upside is that Eric is tolerating this third vitamin. We haven't started the vitamin C yet because we want to be sure that he can stand this multi-vitamin before introducing something else.

In the meantime, we will continue to do what we are doing until we go back in May.

I'm sorry. I wish there was something you could work on. That's frustrating, I know. Especially after what you had to do to get these tests done!!!!
