Reports from school and a visitor to school yesterday say H has yellow hands and feet , perhaps body, too. Also yawning, lassitude, pallor and constantly asking for food. And the visitor said he's lost a lot of weight since they last saw him 2 weeks ago. (He looked fine on Monday. as far as I was concerned.)I and the epilepsy nurse at Addenbrooke's have persuaded the school to take him to the doc and get a liver function test tomorrow morning.I am very worried it could be the Tegretol or something else serious. He went off Monday morning just fine.He's been on the GAPS diet for 4 months and has slowly lost a bit of excess weight and his pot belly went down - but this sounds worrying.Any ideas, please? He's not on many supplements.If necessary I shall whisk him off to hospital (A & E five minutes away)when he gets home mid afternoon.Margaret

I shall ask them to test for this as well tomorrow as they should be doing a

blood test.

Thanks,

Margaret
