Hi all

Hi everyone,

I have a question about my son who is 3 years old, ASD and been

chelating since November. It's a little personal and I'll try not to

be graphic. Tonight when I was changing my sons diaper I noticed

that his penis is red. Just the area he urinates through, not the

entire penis. When I tried to do a touch test he began crying and is

awfully raw apparently. I tried to check for tenderness in

surounding areas and he still cried. I have never encountered this

before. I would think if it's that raw it would have bothered him to

urinate but he didnt cry or anything when he went in his diaper. (he

is not yet potty trained)

He had pneumonia in February and they put him on antibiotics. He was

okay for a couple weeks, we started the chelation again then he came

down with this cough that was the worst I'd ever seen. I had to take

him to the pedi again and they put him on more antibiotics saying

he " may " have some sort of viral issue. He is on Probiotics as well

but I wonder............could he have developed a yeast issue from

all the antibiotics. Is that what this redness could be? I was not

sure if the above is a sign of yeast. He has never had a yeast issue

so I am not really sure of the signs to look for.

Just wanted some experienced advice until I get to contact his DAN

doctor about post-poning his chelation treatments.

Thanks so much.....
