Re: Carnitine?/excess body hair on a little girl

January 2, 2011

My 9 year old daughter also has a lot of body hair on her arms, legs and back. No one in the family is hairy and I suspect it is due to something. So far everyone is blowing me off but I intend to bring it up again with her pediatrician. If anyone know of conditions that cause excess body hair please let me know --------------- Ezorsezor@...

One of my twins who has low tone, GCS sensitivities, leaky gut (I think), had blood work done a while back. I got a call a few days ago from the children's hospital that some of her blood work came back 'abnormal'. I know one of the tests she mentioned was carnitine. Now they are sending her to a metabolic specialist. Can anyone tell me what an abnormal carnitine test could mean? A little background - had mild pica as a one-two year old (ate dirt, rocks, moss). Has gluten, casein and soy sensitivities. Supposedly has inflammation, malabsorbtion, leaky gut. Has a lot of hair on back and legs (I keep being told that this is nothing but there has to be something to it - my husband and I are not hairy people). She also lost quite a bit of hair around the same time that she had the pica (you could see her scalp). The only other things that have been brought to my attention are that she is extremely low tone, has unusually high B12 levels, has a larger than normal head size, and at times has an odd breath smell (we have ruled out diabetes and hypoglycemia). Sorry for the long e-mail. We have been to specialist after specialist and now we have to go to this metabolic specialist (who we already saw and who totally blew us off the first time). I just wanted to see if anyone here could shed some light on what might be going on because the doctors can't seem to get on the same page and piece together this puzzle. Thanks for any advice or info.

My daughter is pretty hairy too, but more on her arms, but it's there real fine on her body as well. I was told by a holistic practioner that it was due to her high testosterone levels. Don't know how accurate that was, but I thought I would pass that along. I do know she was/is high testosterone, just don't know if it causes hairiness

I have a hairy daughter. I have heard both mercury poisoning and high testosterone levels. Neither would surprise me with her.

Well my kara is very hairy, but her testosterone levels are not high

which surprised our DAN DOC alot. He didn't mention any other reasons

for it, besides elevated testosterone.

Carnitine?
