in my humble opinion I also feel it is vital to work with a trained professional - in whatever dicipline you feel comfortable with. I would highly recomend the professional be a specialist with difficult child's.
Our first nutritionist was not a difficult child specialist and ran the typical tests and recommended suppliments based on the needs of a easy child. Come to find out from the specialist dr that there is quite a bit of research that shows that many difficult child's have similar defficiencies that would be read differently for a easy child. i.e. It is typical for difficult child's to be OK on folic but low on follic. The reason is that many difficult child's can't convert the folic to follic in their system. Add this to the fact that many are B12 defficent and it looks like they are anemic. The answer was to give her follic (difficult child answer) not folic (easy child answer). Since this discovery there have been many vits and minerals that have been developed with these consistencies in mind. We use Brainchild vits and minerals.. its powerful stuff and I wouldn't do it without doctors help (several to choose from) but possibly it will help you in your research.
I don't mean to keep pushing our success strategies I just hope to share some of our learnings along the way.
