[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 367678, member: 3419"] Hi Mariah, sounds like your mom does pretty decent research! And to look at the answers you gave online here (great job, WW), I would say your son is on the spectrum. I'm not a dr, just a mom with-a kid who's on the spectrum. My son had serious reflux as a baby and toddler. I am SO glad he's beyond that now. FYI, doing a test for the esophagus is not the same as for something in the gut like Celiac or Crohn's disease. I hate to send you to another dr, but I'd suggest a Celiac test. You can ask for it at the same time they do a regular blood draw for a physical, but you must be sure to ask for it separately. It's not part of a regular CBC. (That's in case you don't want to make a special trip just to have it done.) Autism and gluten allergies are very closely linked. I think you said earlier that you weren't willing to go with-a gluten-free diet, but it could have a LOT to do with-your son's inablity to absorb nutrients. When he was fed with-a tube, exactly what was he given? Glucose, protein, sodium and calcium, I'll bet. Chances are, there was no gluten in the feeding. I hate to harp on it, but ... okay, I'll harp on it. :winking: I'm not young (50-ish) so that means I can do things like that. Right, Marg's Man? [/QUOTE]
