Re: black, tarry stools....JENN

Jenn I am taking in a stool sample to first a pediatrician tomorrow to

check for blood and then he will refer me to a GI if there is. You

don't happen to live in So California and know of a good GI do you? If

not do you highly recommend one?

Also from reading what I wrote about what he is eating three weeks in

on SCD do you see that we are not balancing things correctly?

Thank you for your input and help. Glad your DD is doing better.

ped. GI doc and he dx her with pinworms, yeast, staph & high ammonia

due to just eating lots of meat and had a touch of hypoglycemia also.

I took a while to straighten her out using enzymes & a more balanced

diet. He may even have some occult blood. You shouldn't fool around

with this. Make an appt. as soon as possible. He may have to take

meds. for a short time til he gets back on track as well. Our GI doc

also determined food allergies. Hope he feels better soon, Jenn L

Kristie,

Send me a whole list of what he eats during the day offlist if you want to. I

missed your post about it.

I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Buie. He is a ped. GI doc. He knows his autism stuff as

well. And, he is trustworthy. He is not close to you though. He is in MA. He is

delicate, compassionate and knows how to get around things with insurances etc.

Not sure if you can fly with him, or have the $ to do so. You would NOT be

disappointed in any way. If doc Buie isn't possible, then you need to find him

another one of the best. You say you live in S. CA? Maybe driving to Houston to

thoughtful house? Lots of really good GI docs and autism specialists there as

well. I would find one and ask the doc tomarrow if you can get a refferal for

that particular ped. GI doc because they have experience with autistic children.

Is your child autistic? Jenn L
