Well we had an appointment with The Naturopath on Wednesday of last week, after seeing her for an hour she came up with a game plan for Brenden, (assuming that he will get a diagnosis being on the spectrum)
1. CBC (complete blood count) to make sure his organs are working correctly.
2. Allergy panel test, (blood test) this tests 96 foods. (Found out that this IS COVERED under insurance!!!!) We were told that we would have to give him Gluten again before the testing. Justin and I decided that we know what wheat does to bubb and that we are not going to give it to him. He has come so far and I don't want to go back.......
3. Organic Acids test $369 (NOT covered) This test will show what his body does with metals in his system.
4. Metals urine test $149 (NOT covered) (6 hr urine collection) This will see WHAT metals are IN his body if any.
She gave me a list of about 5 supplements that they want him to be on, after talking to a good friend she stated that we need to explain to the Dr. that we are on a budget and we can only afford X amount per month so we can buy the most important.
So I received the Allergy test in the mail yesterday, now i have to find a Pediatric flobotomist
to take bubbs blood after an 8 hr fast.
Thats all I have right now..... Have a great day!
