Sudden weight loss, yellowing skin and lassitude and pallor - help, please?

[Guest guest]

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.
