Hi Emma. Glad to know that you took your daughter to the doctor to get the help she needs. I don't too much about her needing more salt though. Yes, most problems will turn up on a CT Scan. I don't know too much about stuttering, or about the genes, and even if it is (and I emphasize the if) something serious, her doctor will tell you, and get her started on the appropriate treatment asap. I hope this little bit helps, and I hope your daughter gets well soon, I know how horrible it can be to be so sick when you are young.

Not a doctor, just a girl who's very interested in medicine,
and has many medical conditions.
