Donna S Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Our son Grant, was diagnosed with Pandas a few years ago. Recently found Sheila Rogers book and found this site, awesome. My question today is what can I do to prepare for our first visit with an enviromental specialist? He is in Kansas City, though we live in 200 miles away, so we want to be prepared as much as possible. We believe our son, with other things, has the yeast infection, Candida. The Leaky Gut is pretty scary. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donna S Posted August 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Thanks Chemar, I bought Sheila's book and it has been so helpful, which has inspired us to locate an enviromental doctor. I just thought some real life experiences that some of you may have would also be helpful. I have only been on the forum today, and have already learned so much. Actually, I somehow thought you would be the one that respoded first, ha. You are a great advocate for so many people on this site, thank you.

Guest Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Donna, Is your son by any chance seeing Dr. Baptist or Dr. Willoughby in Kansas City? I see Dr. Baptist, but have seen Dr. Willoughby also so if that's who you guys are seeing I can answer questions about what to expect, etc. Carolyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donna S Posted August 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Does Dr. Willoughby do bio-medicine? Did you change from Willoughby to Dr Babptist? why? Is Willoughby going to just run the tests, and want to give shots? What type of relationship do you have with Dr Babpist after the first meeting? Follow-up meetings? and what is discussed? We believe our son does have Candida, yeast inflammation. Our son had tics that did move from hands, to shoulder, to head, to eyes ect.. for several years. Now, the eye rolling (which never went away) and head jerking are the tics he has had for 6 mos. His complaints are headaches (from head jerking), stomach aches. He used to have pains in legs, We arent interested in medications that have severe side effects. We would like to see benefits through diet and natural supplements. The scary thing is keeping him healthy and bacteria/viral ect.. free. He is entering 7th grade this year and the kids are brutal. Did you or someone else have experiences with Great Plains Lab? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
