Our son silas has been diagnosed so far with a gross motor delay and expressive receptive language disorder, hypotonic, developmental delays, sensory problems, and unexplained fatigue, and recently we took him to a holistic doctor cause we were tired of all the guessing and he did a bunch of different things and found he has a moderate yeast overgrowth, it showed up in his poop, stool, and blood, so he is on a bunch of different things for that, and we have to give him shots in his bum every three days to make up for the defecienties of some of the vitamins he has, and then we were at the gastro doc, and twice now his tyrosine level was elevated in his blood so they were looking for tyrosinemia type 1, but the liver ultrasound looked good, but the one blood test came back off, his blood di dnot clot as fast at it should have, so he said he was going to call chop-childrens hospital of philly, cause he said it could be the beginign of tyrosinemia or nothing at all.wondering what this is.

get an occupational therapy and physical therapy evaluation for motor delays and sensory issues, hypotonia. my son has all the delays you mentioned and he has thrived within the last year with all his services. you can do joint compressions for input to the joints and depending on his "sensory issues" you can follow recommendations by your OT to decrease them. I give NOrdic Naturals DHA supplements and a vitamin E to facilitate speech development. Be careful of the holistic doctors, some take advantage of parents with special needs b/c of the rise in autism and links to yeast, etc.
