Allergy testing/heavy metal testing Please help!

[Guest guest]

Yikes,

I am preparing for an appointment with my son's pediatirician in the

morning and thought I had all my ducks in a row but as I try to

formulate what I want to talk about I am finding my self at a loss.

Specifically, the things I have left on my list that I am having

trouble for is-what allergy testing to ask for and a succint way or

explaining why. Does anyone have any ideas? Also what heavy metals

to test for and why? I am having a hard time figuring out how to

explain this in a way that may bring success. This doctor is not a

total meanie but she has the protocol of the AAP that specifically

say do not test for these things (have you read this?) and I don't

know how she will react. She did send us to the allergist but the

allergist was totally clueless about what to do beyond a skin test

(including foods) to check for histamine reaction which came out

negative of course. The allergist did concede that a sensitivity or

intolerance is different than an allergy although she didn't seem to

have a clue that there was some way to test for this let alone being

able to. I don't think she totally bought my whole theory but was

seeming to humor me somewhat. So, please help me with how to explain

and ask for the proper thing from pediatrician tommorrow regarding

heavy metals and food testing. This doctor has sent us to EEG, MRI,

eye test, allergy test, and numerous blood work up. I think she will

at least listen to what I have to say. I really don't want to blow

my very puny stash of money on a DAN doctor (want to save it for

therapy) so I want to try to get what I can from the pediatrician.

Thanks, Meggie
