Functional Labs - When you need it and WHY
Hi Guys, Many of you have shown interest in functional labs and testing. Organic Acid Testing is the one I prioritize above all the other tests. However, some of you are further along your journey, and some of you are right at the beginning. I like to refer to these as Top 5 Tests. If you are interested in testing or retesting any of the labs below, just comment down here, and me or my team will reach out to you personally to assist. Organic Acid Test: A simple urine collection, this is one I use as a starting point to begin constructing a roadmap. You get clear indication into your child's detoxification pathways, candida load, clostridia markers, oxalic acid, neurotransmitter status, B vitamins for methylation, glutathione status, fungal metabolites, and even detailed snapshot on your child mitochondrial function which is what is linked to low muscle tone, delay in gross/fine motor skills as well as Apraxia. Comprehensive Stool Analysis: This is a 3 day stool sample collection and gives detailed markers for gut, bacteria (like staph, strep infections) as well as parasitology. This helps plan what type of detox can be planned esp if parasites are a problem. Hair Metals & Minerals Analysis: A hair strand test, this analyzes what heavy metals your child may be carrying a burden of. This helps us evaluate what is hindering child's cognition, language at the root cause level as heavy metals like lead and mercury (amongst others) are very toxic and will create inflammation which continues to act as a barrier to your child's progress. This test also gives a really good snapshot at your childs essential minerals such as zinc, manganese, selenium (essential for methylation) and even lithium (helps with B Vitamin transport). Mycotoxin Test: This is a urine based test that is specifically testing for mold burden in your child. Mold toxicity turns up as histamine sensitivity, allergies, immune dysregulation, regression and more. So I use OATs to identify patterns that may point to mold burden and run a mycotox test next to confirm the mold exposure. I have been helping families identify mold in their environment as well and plug the ongoing exposure to this neurotoxin.

@Batool Mirza UK please
Welcome Mamas ! Introduce yourself here
Hi All, Welcome to this space ! I have been wanting to spend time and hang out with you guys more. I realize our time in consult calls is limited. Leaving plenty of questions for you, and a need for support. Thats how I came to the realization for a need for this community. And also a place for me to centralize resources for you. So instead of sending it to each one of you, there can now become a reference portal with a support system built in for you. How do you like the sound of that ? :) Take a second to introduce yourself to others (just drop a few lines below) ! and share with me what are the main challenges you are dealing with, so I can keep that in mind when building resources/content for you guys !

Hi everyone, I am Amrin from London, UK. I have a nearly 7 year old daughter who has been diagnosed with autism. She has chronic constipation, speech delay and big emotional meltdowns. After we started giving her probiotics, her constipation has improved alot so looking into her gut if her symptoms caused by it.
