Re: Re: yellow hands and feet

May 6, 2007

my son has yellow feet, neck, armpits, elbows also, but so do I. I have asked

the doctor before and she said it was because he ate a lot of carrots. well he

doesn't eat a lot any more and i just thought it was because he has red hair, i

will ask dr.demio and see if he is concerned because i am now...........thanks

for reminding me!

some more green and yellow veggies, but not that much. Years ago,

before he was finally treated for hypothyroidism, that was one reason

his pedi gave for not being concerned about his hands, feet and neck

being very deep yellow, but his thyroid levels showed normal.

Finally, after several years and his gradual deteriation, I began

treating him myself with my Armour thyroid and even the teacher at

school saw a big improvement. At that point, his pedi tested him and

even with the Armour thyroid, his level was low normal, so he finally

put him on it. When we went back to a grain diet, the yellow

diminished.

am posting this to see if anyone else has noted this for their kid.

I have seen posts on other lists about this same thing. It seems to

be assoc. with getting off grains (the first time he turned yellow,

he was just gfcf and not grain free). Hope the genetics doc has

heard about this and has some ideas. I don't think it is JUST

hypothyroid because getting Armour thyroid &/or T3 should have

corrected the problem.
