School right around the corner...how much do you share?

[Guest guest]

Our 5 year old was in preschool three days a week for two years and did great,

but I was able to do a lot of dosing around his hours, including chelating right

through Monday around school. Now this year, he will be starting K five days a

week, full time....such a different animal for me! His preschool owner/teacher

was great with my restrictions and I felt comfortable enough sharing our biomed

journey with her, including chelation. She noticed even the slightest nuances

in his behavior and was right on par with me. Now, with a new school and

people, I am leery of who I can trust. Although, the principal knows us somewhat

and knows a little of what we do, not all of it though. It happens to be a

green charter school that my husband is a founding member of and helped get off

the ground.

How much do you guys share with the teachers, school nurse and others? I know I

will have to share the things that need restriction, like diet, not using play

doh and hand sanitizers unless I provide them, and the like - plus they will

know he takes natural antimicrobials, because he will need to be dosed once or

twice while at school (they already assured me that isn't a problem)...but how

much else should I tell them? Mondays are going to be rough, since he will be

transitioning to post round with some yeast overgrowth symptoms and mercury

redistribution. He gets bloating, lethargic and a little emotional. He isn't

labeled as being on the spectrum, he is very bright and very social, but has

major GI issues, yeast and bacteria which can all equate to behavior changes,

mood swings, lowered frustration threshold, and gassiness, lol. Sorry, but it's

true, he is SO gassy on the first day post round, it's embarrassing to go out

with him on Mondays, ha ha. So technically, I don't HAVE to tell them much, and

I don't want THEM labeling him as the problem kid with preconceived notions that

I put in their head, but at the same time, I want them to know how to deal with

him. Where is the balance? I am planning to talk with his teacher and the

school nurse about the antimicrobials and his food and chemical sensitivities at

minimum, I just don't know what else to put on the agenda, if anything.
