Guest guest Posted November 7, 2001 Report Share Posted November 7, 2001 yes. i am sure a reg. ped. could test for parasites. My son is non-verbal so he never complained about the giardia but I've heard it causes itchiness and diarhrea. you can get it from swimming in a lake or a pool where another child has pooped. karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the enzymes from this url http://www.houstonni.com/ You can also use enzymes from this url http://www.kirkmanlabs.com/ They help my son tolerate food items that he would otherwise not tolerate. That way, you don't have to remove the juice, you can try enzymes first and see if that helps him. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2001 Report Share Posted November 7, 2001 How do you test for parasites? Is this something a regular pediatrician could do? What are the signs other than loose stools? The more info. I have, the more likely I can get my HMO doctor to have the insurance pay for it. Though she is a wonderful pediatrician and I wouldn't ever change, she has an " autism expert " - BJ Freeman that is telling her stuff like the diet does not help. I am trying to work with the system to get things paid for but this just makes it more difficult. > you may want to test for parasites.
