He did not have a shunt, but they are thinking it may be possibly Addision's disease along with some liver disease or GI things going on.
Thankfully though, Snicker's is working with Dr. Claudia Kirk and I am absolutely thrilled to have her as his specialist. She is the department head of internal medicine and nutrition and is known for her work in nutrition. She said that after we got the results back, she would work with me on formulating a nutrition plan for him. It's such a relief to feel he is in good hands. | She sounds wonderful.  Since there's a possiblity of liver &/or GI involvement, I would definitely follow her advice on feeding and diet. Hope they find what the problem is soon!
