Pretty sure that DD2 has fetal alcohol effects. Endocrinologist also thinks alcohol is a root issue for her. We are not in the UK and I am not sure how well known/aware medical profession here is. Heatlh care here seems to lack being 'joined up' so we go to endo and we go to neurology but I am not sure they are talking and joining up the dots. Can anyone tell me whether there are definitive tests to rule in/rule out FAE. DD has epilepsy and growth deficit as well as hearing/speech issues. From what I have read she meets the diagnostic criteria of FAE but part of me wants to know for sure, rather than just as 'yes looks like it'. In other words I want to know if her health problems are just conincidental or are FAE as obviously if it is the latter we potentially have life long issues that I can start addressing as soon as possible.
thanks
