Look out for: Stomach upset and/or (out of the oridnary) diarrhea. Uncooked poultry is associated with salmonella infections (but not always). If stomach becomes distended, he gets fever or u notice red (blood) mucousy stools, seek medical help.

If your daughter has: " compulsive" food-seeking behaviors & pica (eating non-food items) , the test that may reveal a genetic cause is comparative genomic hybridization. She also needs a dna probe for fragile x. . These blood tests are current standard of practice for any child with intellectual disability &/or autistic disorder. Lock your fridge & cupboards.! a tiny dose of anti-anxiety medication may help.
