๐ง The 3 tests I would consider for a child with autism
Autism is complex.
And while there is no single โroot cause,โ many children struggle with underlying physiological imbalances that are often overlooked.
Hereโs where I start:
1๏ธโฃ Food Allergy & Sensitivity Testing
IgG food sensitivities can trigger subtle to significant symptoms โ including hyperactivity, mood changes, headaches, bloating, fatigue, seizures, and even dark circles under the eyes.
Identifying food triggers can reduce inflammation and improve behavior and focus.
2๏ธโฃ GI-MAP (Comprehensive Stool Analysis)
Many children with autism experience gut issues โ constipation, bloating, eczema, reflux.
The GI-MAP evaluates microbiome balance, pathogens, H. pylori, inflammation markers, and more โ helping us build a personalized gut protocol.
3๏ธโฃ NutrEval (Blood + Urine Panel)
This assesses 125+ biomarkers and evaluates functional nutrient needs โ including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, and antioxidant status.
Nutrient deficiencies can directly impact brain function, detox pathways, and behavior.
Autism care shouldnโt stop at behavioral therapy alone.
Looking deeper at gut health, immune activation, and nutrient status can provide meaningful support.
