The Test

Just returned from a DAN doctor and he is recommending stool analysis,nutritional analysis from spectra labs (I think, almost 400$) and a metals antibody test ($400). I do have a BCBS PPO and was hoping to do more of the tests from great plains as they direct bill. Any thoughts on additional tests or alternate tests from great plains instead of spectra labs and/or immunoscience labs. Anyone do the full autism panel of ab tests (very expensive 1200$)?? Are these tests really necessary? We are willing to find the money to help our son,but don’t want to do a bunch of tests if they are not needed.

I have ordered some test kits from great plains lab, mercury in the blood, neutro antibodies and stool analysis, hoping insurance will pay.

Also, where do you buy calcium supplements? I bought culturelle for probiotics and wasn’t sure what dosage to start with? Or should I wait for the stool tests to come back?

Any thoughts would be great and thanks!
