Drop the peas.

Drop anything orange, green, red, or yellow.

Check this list for hiddens [like egg yolk or chicken fat]

See if that helps.

To be safe, I'd ask for another liver function tests. When it turns, it can

sometimes turn rapidly.

Would you mind sharing which foods are high in lutein?

Rochelle - the discussion of pigment anomalies is a common one in

autism circles. Carotenemia is the name for the condition that you are

describing. In autism, the immune system is removing the orange

pigment - in this case beta-carotene - through the skin. In Sara's

Diet, we remove lutein as a matter of course because of the many

indications that it is a common feature in autism. Beta-carotene is

excluded when carotenemia is witnessed - replace the pigmented foods

with non-pigmented vegetables and add cod-liver oil as the best source

of Vitamin A. The skin may appear more orange for a time as the body

detoxes the stored pigments. Make sure that all B Vitamins are

regularly in the diet, including Folic Acid and DMG.

'Overlooked, until now, have been the more apparently benign markers

such as abnormal pigmentation, and co-occurring conditions such as

vitiligo and carotenemia. . . Genetic studies show consistent markers

identifying pigment metabolism abnormalities and measurable numbers of

autists among the populations that are identified with a known

disorder of pigment metabolism . . . The evidence which supports the

elucidation of autism as a disorder of pigment metabolism is growing

as the co-occurring disorders are identified and documented.

Scientific research continues to produce new insights into the pigment

metabolism and how its deregulation relates to other symptoms and

disorders also associated and co-occurring with autism i.e. anorexia

nervosa/eating disorders, circadian rhythm/sleep disorders,

circannual/seasonal affective disorder, abnormalities in tryptophan

metabolism and scotopic sensitivity syndrome.'

Foods highest in lutein are: kale, spinach, mustard greens, yellow

corn, broccoli, green peas, pumpkin, collard greens, summer (yellow)

squash, carrot, brussels sprouts, currants, green olive, green

peppers, green bean (pod), chicken fat, egg yolk, plums, peach,

orange, tangerine, currants, avocado, kiwi fruit, rhubarb, In many

foods, the peel contains the majority of that foods lutein content:

cucumber, pear, pineapple. In other foods the dark outer leaves

contain lutein: Cabbage, lettuce, leek. Strawberry contains a red

form of lutein: vitello rubin. The lutein or carotenoid content of the

food depends on many factors including exposure to light, season, soil

and type. Many foods contain multiple pigments such as Oranges which

have been identified to contain at least 5 pigments including

lutein/zeaxanthin. Some foods which may not contain lutein or

beta-carotene such as tomato contain another pigment called lycopene

which can be converted to lutein or beta-carotene in the body. It

appears that for some these non-lutein foods can safely enter the body

and the lycopene can reach systems which benefit from lutein and the

lycopene conversion will occur away from the immune system

interference resulting in bio-available lutein. Some foods contain

lutein only at some stages such as green pepper which does not contain

lutein as the pepper matures to its ripe red form. Animals consume

foods which contain lutein such as grass. These animals may then have

lutein in their blood products or stored in their fat. The highest

lutein content in the animal foods will come from blood products and

meat fats. Some foods have not been adequately studied for their

pigment content such as grains, nuts and legumes.

My son was lutein/carotene intolerant until the very end of ALA chelation.
