Yeah. So that's what I've been Googling for the past hour. I don't even know what made me look at a 4 year old blood test with a spread of numbers indicating the various levels of amino acids for Jake... but I started looking, and then I really started looking because I remembered that he had elevated beta-Alamine.
So what? So nothing. Every few months or so I pick all of those "odd" things out of Jake's old medical records and Google them again. It happens sometimes that I will find an article at www.pubmed.com
This time I found another parent who has a boy who had a new autism dx and elevated beta-Alanine.
So now there's two of us Googling it, and probably only stumbling upon our own queries.
Anyone else ever had a kid with Cerebral Palsy ataxia, ADHD, panic disorder, sleep disturbances and Autism who had a blood screen that showed elevated beta-Alanine?
Go. You know you want to check that last "AMINO ACID, PLASMA" screen
