Guest guest Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 Hi, I am new to this list. I have a 2 yr. 11 mos. old with a fairly recent dx of autism. I am looking for anyone that might be able to help me find a DAN doctor in Connecticut, preferably someone people have used and are pleased with. I found a doctor through the DAN list of doctors, and was very unhappy with him. I felt he was very financially motivated, and I am in no position financially to work with someone like that. I told me I could not try to bill by insurance for testing at labs and that I had to pay him for the lab fees and he would bill the labs, I wonder what his cut was? He also only recommended supplement purchases through him which were outrageous in price. I have ordered some supplements on my own through Kirkman labs but I really want to consult with a doctor. I am certain my son has need of biomedical intervention, because he has chronic diahhrea. I would also be interested in educating my pediatrician because I think he might be willing to work with me, but there is so much info out there, I don't know where to begin in what to gather for my pediatrician. I don't want to overwhelm him with the amount of info that I send him and don't quite know where to start. Please can anyone help me? Thank you, (mother of Dylan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 Hi, I just wanted to let you know that my son just had his very first hard poop on a gfcf, corn/soy/rice/buckwheat/quinoa and potato free diet. You might try it for one week just to see if you get any results. You basically just feed veges, fruits, peanut butter and meat. We are then going to reintroduce one thing at a time. For us, it worked best to eliminate everything and go from there. Also, the only DAN allergist in my area was going to make me pay for all this out of pocket as well. I just printed this out for my physician's assistant. My son's PH on his poop was a 6, so she knows something is up. http://www.greatplainslaboratory.com/book/bk8sect1.html > Hi, > I am new to this list.
