CDSA result is back! Any opinions?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Got CDSA result back which shows elevated total short chain fatty acids, no

growth of lactobacillus, 4+ Ecoli,4+ bifidobacterium, 2+ gamma hemolytic strep

and 3+klebsiella. There is no growth of yeast. I am concerned about elevated

scfa and I have read that it is a sign of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth

which I was suspecting based on his symptoms also. Has anyone dealt with

elevated scfa or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth? Experienced people with

cdsa! please comment on the result. Somebody had suggested in the previous posts

that my son seemed to have issue with zinc/copper ratio and yes! this time his

zinc/copper ratio has increased to 1.08 from 0.9. We were supplementing 50 mg of

zinc and we had reduced it to 20 mg about a month ago. If too much zinc is

given, it can cause copper deficiency symptoms. His copper level has dropped

from 135 to 108 and zinc has also decreased from 122 to 117 but the zinc/copper

ratio has increased. Also he has elevated Hb with elevated MCV which didn't make

sense to me as there is no hemoconcentration(no elevation is wbc or platelet).

Anyone with zinc/copper ratio knowledge, please comment on my son's result. We

had also received OAT result last week which showed elevated markers for

yeast/endogenous oxalates???

Thanks
