Appointment with Paediatircian

[Guest guest]

Hi AllI just wanted to ask some advice about an appointment we have in March for my little boy (age 5, non verbal asd & ld, plus lots of food allergies and frequent ? viral infections, plus usual gut/stool issues). The appointment is with a Paediatrician who as an interest in Gastroenterology.This appointment came about as I went back to my GP re concerns about his physical health - I know many of you will have had the same experience I did of pretty much being dismissed for even wondering about links between his physical health problems and his asd. So, wanted to ask what would be the most useful things to try to get from this appointment for my son - I'm wondering about an x-ray to check for loading, some kind of immune system checks, ? checks for his viral load that kind of thing. The concerns I

had raised about his physical health were - frequent episodes of ill health, high fever, lethargy, rashes, swollen lymph glands neck and groin, vomit with no smell, never having had a formed poo, frequent poos. Thanks for any help with this.Jayne
