Journey Through My GI System Continued: I get a Barium Swallow

When I last left my stomach, we had found some fat malabsorption.  This means I dont deal with fat too well.  And it also means, I am not getting any fat soluble vitamins.  Hence my Vitamin D deficiency.  

So, I went to Doylestown Hospital  and drank some barium and had  fluoroscopic study done on my intestines.  No news. 

Went to see a holistic doctor over at Woodlands Medical.  He has a few theories about things.  But I have to wait till my system clears out the barium before I donate samples.  He also wants to check out the wheat and lactose intolerance and see if there are any more allergies.

  2. I checked out your blog. It's an interesting article about Willowbrook and other state institutions. This is going to be an increasingly larger problem as children with autism become adults. The state of Pennsylvania has been doing some strategic planning around the whole issue of institutionalization, the police system, and alternatives.

    I tossed together some notes quickly on some earlier posts on the Future of Autism, Autism Drivers and More Drivers of Autism in November 2009. I really should revisit them and flesh them out better. The UK has been doing some interesting work on strategic plannign for Autism
