Re: Where to send blood work

[Guest guest]

Hi Terry:

We had 3 different doctors do blood work. You might want to check

with your insurance to see what labs are covered through insurance.

All three doctors sent us to the same lab that was covered by

insurance for blood work. At our old Ped. office the lab was in the

same building.

My son doesn't have fat malabsorption...maybe someone else that has a

child that does can answer what to look for. You can google " What is

fat malabsorption " or " Symptoms of fat malabsorption " and probably

find some answers that way also.

Archived message about fat-malabsorption

Screening studies in stool:

Stool for pH

Stool for reducing substances

Stool for qualitative fecal fat (sudan stain)

HTH,

Tina
