" When adults are avoiding oxalates, the answer is sodium ascorbate.And if it's kidney stone issues, one treatment for kidney stones is mg citrate.I urge you to check these out - a mg deficiency may be the root of some of his issues. -- Peace . . . Hawkridgein a NE Seattle 'burb Confused about 3 y/o son's labs Posted by: " G " luckylot@... jessicagalligani Sun Mar 11, 2012 10:14 am (PDT) Hi guys! I haven't posted in a while. We got our 3 year old's thyroid panel back and I am confused about something. -His TSH is 1.23 (I've read that anything over 1.5 warrants investigating T3 and T4 which we had done also) -His T4 is 9.4 (reference range of lab is 4.5-12 mcg/dL) -His T3 is what is confusing me, they listed it as 88 ng/dL with no reference range (not that I would trust it anyway) When I looked online for the standard lab ranges I found 80-230 as a reference, which means he is nowhere near the upper 1/3 of the range. We tested his thyroid, because he is VERY moody and screamy, hits a lot and has no patience, plus recently he lost two chunks (about 1 inch around) of hair from the scalp. He's also very small for his age and grows extremely slowly, although he is hungry all of the time and eats well. We've been giving him about 2.2-4.4mg of Lugol's daily for a while now, plus selenium. He can't have vitamin C, because of an oxalate issue though.
