hi all, im new here obviously..lol. our son silas is 2 and We got some

Results back from the homeopathic doc yesterday.....Silas had a very

bad yeast overgrowth in his intestines, the doc said he hardly has any

good bacteria in his intestines and a abundance of the bad...so he is

on some meds to kill off the yeast overgrowth..but he said he might

need two rounds cause once yeast starts growing it is very hard to

kill....we have to change his diet, he wants us to feed him whole

foods only....his neurotransmitters are elevated.....and he is very

very very low on folic acid and vitamin b-12 so we have to hive him

shots in his bum....the prescription says we have 5 refills of the

shots so i am guessing he will need quite a few.the doc put him on

folinic acid, and the shots, and the med to kill of the yeast and

child essence vitamins....and we are supposed to go on a dairy free

diet for three days..Then to top it off, the gastro doc called and

said his tyrosine levels are abnormally high....he said they are

looking for a metabolic disorder, and i said what exactly and he said

tyrosinemia type 1....

Tyrosinemia type I is a metabolic disorder in which an enzyme critical

for the breakdown of the amino acid tyrosine is missing. This allows

abnormal amounts of tyrosine to accumulate in the body and act like a

poison causing damage, especially in the liver.......and the blood

results we got back from the homeopathic doc showed a elevated liver

function level and also this....

Diagnosis

The symptoms the infant has, especially the liver problems, usually

suggest a diagnosis of tyrosinemia type I. Blood tests of liver

function will be abnormal. A urine test for succinylacetone is done;

if it is present, it confirms the diagnosis.

on his urine test his succinic acid was elevated into the yellow

section..so needless to say i am very very very very worried

now.....he wants us to go asap to get more blood work A fecal occult

blood test (FOBT) is a non-invasive test to detect the presence of

hidden blood in the stool (feces).he id doing that test and this one

aPTT test measures the length of time (in seconds) that it takes for

clotting to occur when reagents are added to plasma (liquid portion of

the blood).Then he wants a ultrasound of his liver to see if it is

damaged Then to top it off we go for a ph probe test on april 2nd, it

has to be left in for 24 hours and we have to spend the night there,

then the next morning they take the probe out and they are going to go

a endoscopy with biopsy and thenin may he has a mri...so i have been

very stressed about this..and not on here as much..i have no gunption

to do anything....but i have to keep my mind working cause then i

might just fall to peices...and that is not good either..and what in

the world do you feed them...his new diet had to be made up of 25 %

veggies and 25-335 protein and 25-33% starch....he hates veggies...he

is soooooo picky..everything he does eat now he is no longer allowed

to have so i don't know what to feed him

sorry for babbling on and on

Silas also has other problems, he has a gross motor delay and mixed

expressive/recessive language disorder and unexplained fatigue and

sensory issues he hates eating and is very very picky and is very very

tiny for his age..the neurologist also said he saw early signs of

aspergers..but who knows he is only 2....
