Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hi - my 10mo old baby boy's porphyrin test came back indicating " moderate mercury toxicity " . I tested him because I found out my 9yr old has high mercury (after d/x Aspergers ADD inattentive) and my 5yr old is even more toxic; he has no d/x but seems very high functioning ASD to me - OK with academics (great memory and reading) but has all the symptoms like leaky gut/high igG allergies, yeast, some sensory/coordination issues, mood swings, mild problems with responsive speech, constipation. And well yes I have high mercury too. Boys and I will be doing IV chelation but what about the baby? He's been a good baby in terms of eating and sleeping - the things that concern me are 1) constant mouthing/chewing objects and his thumb - I mean all the time; 2) very active, can't sit still; 3) skin rash in response to quite a few proteins like egg, chicken; 4) limited gestures/sounds so far. He's mainly eating rice-based starches, veggies, fruits but he seems to be getting slimmer. I need to figure out what protein he can take. He's on Enfamil and gets Klaire infant probiotics and a bit of Carlson's fish oil daily as well as some liquid zinc - but it isn't helping the constant oral fixation! I've read he may need magnesium - are there any forms OK for a baby? And how to check for yeast? He hasn't had any diaper rash or thrush problems. If anyone has any ideas, would love to hear them. Thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
