Hi Anita,

Our red flags are her stools and behavior. She loves spinach, carrots

and many other colorful fruits and veggies, but her stools become

rock-hard or loose and full of undigested food. Her behavior

deteriorates. She also tries to eat those foods to the exclusion of

all others. Once we remove them, she starts to eat and request other

food and her stools return to normal. As we chelate we do food

challenges. She can now tolerate an orange every other day.

We use SCD versions of some supplements, but notice the same trend

with her stools and behavior. For example, I've tried several versions

of Vitamin C but the result has always been the same.

Folinic acid (behavior) and Nuthera (stool and behavior) are

supplements which we keep revisiting, but haven't been able to use for

more than a week. She can't even tolerate the supplements that some

recommend to overcome PST issues.

I think that my daughter will have to undergo more chelation before

she can tolerate most foods and supplements.

I wish I had the answers, but I do have faith that we'll all get

through this together.

May God bless you and all our families in 2007!
