Our DAN doctor wanted to have us do this but my husband couldn't remember

why. Do you know what this would be checking for? He is consisitently low every

am (anywhere from 96-97 degrees).

Have yout tried Epsom salt baths? My 5 y.o. has no official

diagnosis and seems typical, after early delays and much biomedical

intervention. (His older brother has Asperger's.) Anyway, one thing

that helped him is Epsom salt baths, and what we see now if we stop

them is that he gets very oppositional and defiant.

His behavior also gets quite bad when he gets artificial coloring.

He acts like a different child. I think he would have a diagnosis of

some sort, quite possibly ODD, if he had artificial coloring on a

daily basis.

If Feingold helps, there is a good chance the Epsom salts baths will

help too.

I would try to treat clostridia. My son only gets defiant when

clostridia is high.
