Hi Shonda! It's nice to meet you, welcome to the forum.
It 100% sounds like Mercury to me, in fact, you sound a LOT like me. For me, when I breastfed, I noticed my baby's stool was more deep yellow than that of my other children, when I breastfed them. It absolutely STAINED everything it came in contact with, and I never understood why. I wasn't but a couple of weeks before her birth, that I realized what I had. I wasn't sure of the effects of breastfeeding etc, but I breastfed her for 10 months. Immediately after I stopped, her stool lost that dark yellow color, and became normal. Also, both of my youngest displayed behavior that "babies of mothers that have eaten a lot of tuna" display. They are both smart as can be, but I believe my son has a touch of autism from this. They both had delays in their motor skills, walking and talking. Neither one of them walked until 18 months, when both of my older children walked at 12. I had 10 years in between the pregnancies of my middle two children, so I had quite a gap in my life, for the mercury to "take me over", and I was in much worse shape with the youngest two. So, I still breastfed...I don't know if that was a good or bad thing. I hoped whatever goodness was in my breastmilk would "outweigh" whatever was bad in it. I hope to God it did.

From what I understand, no one ever seems to get a 100% diagnosis that they are mercury poisoned. It seems that if you are "excreting" mercury, then you have been exposed to it at some point. Most mercury you are exposed to is stored deep in your tissues, so I've heard, so it doesn't always show up in blood tests, etc. All the doctors that I've wanted to test me, have thought I was nuts, and to society, it seems that anyone that is NOT an MD is not recognized by the medical profession, SO I am "undiagnosed". I KNOW what I have, though, and hope to prove it to everyone somehow. ALL I know for sure, and I've heard it said many, many times.....people that are having health problems or feel like they have a supressed immune system etc are told to have their amalgam fillings removed. MD's and regular practicing dentists have said this..but never tell anyone why, other than it will "help them out". They say it will help the "burden" on the immune system. If it is safe, why is it a BURDEN? Your body knows when there's something in it that doesn't belong there. To me, I think my body's always been trying to "reject" my fillings, and manifested itself in whatever way it could.

I hope the doctor you are going to see will listen to you and give you some results. Please keep us updated on what happens!!!!
