question about lab results

[Guest guest]

The GI dr. ordered the fallowing test on my son: IgA, IgG, IgM, Am,

CBC, CMP, RAS testing for food allergies, PH & Reducing

substance/stool/ stool wright stain/WB and culture difficult toxin.

This am I got a call; he said everything came back normal. He wants to

do more testing, so they will call me today for an apointment. I

asked, by test coming back normal, what it can be wrong with my baby.

For example if he eats oranges he gets diarrhea within 2 hours. If he

eats almond milk, he wake up screaming in pain, rolling in the floor

and does not want to be touch. What is next? What other test can be

done?

Ask for copies of the labs.

Either pick them up or having them faxed/mailed to you.

" Normal " to a traditional GI doctor may not be " normal " to someone

specializing in ASD kids.

I did as you told me, to my surprise my son MCV (size of red blood cells), and

MCH (oxygen carried by the red blood cells) was a little high, a little

searching and I learn that this is cause by Vitamin B-12 deficiency, and even

though I know my son consume enough food that contain this vitamin, the I found

this:

" A protein called intrinsic factor is secreted by the stomach and is required

for vitamin B12 absorption from the lower part of the small intestine. Signs of

B12 deficiency often occur in the presence of adequate B12 intake, but result

from impaired absorption. Conditions that are associated with this include some

gastric surgeries, pancreatic disorders, bacterial overgrowth or intestinal

parasites and damage to the intestinal cells. " I am going to call my DAN Dr. and

send him the test. Thanks for the advice
