It is a *very rare* deficiency in the metabolism of the biotin vitamin (vitamin H) and can be tracked with a blood exam, albeit not a routine one. If it turns out to be there, screen your little baby too, as biotinidase deficiency is genetic and can give autism-like symptoms, but is easily averted, if taken on time, with daily supplements of biotine. If you search Medline for reference you'll find many.<BR/>The thought about BD came to me when I read about Oliver's sudden health problems after the shoot, and the bowel problems. A friend of mine has an autistic child whose autism started just in that way, and he (and his little brother, who was cured with biotine and is neurotypical) has BD.Alliandrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07694139359943289844noreply@blogger.com
