Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 We already see a DAN pratitioner and our son is being treated for yeast overgrowth. His belly is often VERY distended and he often (since being able to identify this concept and express this) complains of belly aches. He does this swallowing thing and makes a little "hmmm" sound after he eats and drinks but reports no burning in his throat. The only time he complained of chest pain was after taking some of his pills, likely caught in his throat. After a soda and food, he was fine and this occurred only twice. Anyone else experience this? Re: GI Doctor In a message dated 6/3/2008 2:10:32 P.M.

To get the appropriate testing for your son it would be better for you to take him to a DAN physician. There are many labs out there that are doing specific testing to determine yeast, Candida, fungus, parasite, bacteria and viruses levels in the GI tract. Great Plains Laboratory, Doctor's Data Labs, Genova Labs, Meta Metrix Labs just to name a few. The GI tract has the same neurotransmitters lining the epithelial lining of the gut as in the brain. So if the GI tract is suffering from gut dysbiosis, yeast overgrowth etc.; the brain will not function appropriately because the process of breaking down proteins for amino acid absorption to feed neurotransmitters in the brain is disrupted.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 My son also had a very discended belly, lost alot of weight, hair,couldnt keep food down, trouble swallowing food/ liquids,and after a month in hospital, every test you can possibly, think of..he was given an endoscopy and was diagnosed with Celiac Disease.. If your son hasn't been checked for this yet, you may want to have your GI doctor order that for your son.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 The distended belly has everything to do with what your child is currently eating and how he's digesting. Food allergies can play a huge part in undigested food, gas, bloating etc. If he can swallow pills Hydrochloric Acid with meals can definitely help with the symptoms you are describing. There is also a product called "Bufferzyme" which is a bicarbonate that helps buffer the acids and assist digestion. I am assuming you have a good probiotic. What exactly is your DAN physician suggesting? BadilloGet trade secrets for amazing burgers. Watch "Cooking with Tyler Florence" on AOL Food.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 We were, quite honestly, not even aware of any digestion issues until this past 6 months, maybe a little longer. Up until this point, we were only concerned with the yeast as we had labs for that. He did not seem to have the symptoms described by others who have issues with digestion problems and there was a lab done by our DAN dr. that indicated gluten was not problematic, in that it did not appear to be crossing the blood/brain barrier. According to an allergy test, he is mildly allergic (delayed reaction) to casein (which, seems to cause his eczema flare ups). As he grew taller, his belly became more obvious. He was on Nystatin for 6 months, off 4-6, on again. Then seemed to stop working, so began Diflucan in or around March. Just stopped it due to hospitalization, until we conduct more labs as his liver enzymes were elevated. He has been taking ProBio Gold once per day for a year and we recently added Culturelle (for Clostridia) in March. Yesterday, we administered the enzymes after he ate and he did nto complain of a stomach ache. Whew! I also think his poor posture makes it appear worse. The DAN dr. initially did not recommed digestive enzymes. We started that on our own... I will look up what you said. Anything else I should know about those?
