[QUOTE="buddy, post: 474401, member: 12886"] yeah good point! TeDo and I have this in common. Our doctor ordered these tests years ago and found he does have this metabolic issue. He has almost none of the enzymes needed to process many medications. They can have low levels or none or moderate etc. A list is given by the testing company that shows which medications are not ok to use then. (at least was for us). It is a HUGE list. I am told 6-7% of the population has this but it only is a problem for people who NEED medications! I was told there are some medications that actually can cause or contribute to this problem as well. Since medications are such a huge part of their lives, it is surely worth checking to make it clear if there is a problem or not. I am also going to have him tested for other digestive enzymes now. I am concerned if he is not getting all of the nutrients he needs (he is quite small always under the curve and endocrinologist says it is not medications because bone age is young too...is he right??? I suspect so since appetite is not an issue for my difficult child)...there are kids who can have serious learning and developmental disorders from lack of nutrition obviously... What services/case management do you have so far Crystal? I know you said you are asking everyone...does he have a county worker of any kind? [/QUOTE]
