Ok Guys, sorry for so many posts lately, but I really need help on this

one. I have been scouring the pecanbread and BTVC websites, and did

find that Elaine said the SCD would not starve Clostridia, you have to

use Flagyl or Vancomycin, this is a much needed piece of information

for me. Our other problem is Klebsiella, I couldn't find anything on

SCD and klebsiella. Could someone help me here? I need to find out if

the diet starves Klebsiella bacteria. I need to know this info before

seeing the DAN dr in 2 weeks. I need to " know " what I am talking about

when I explain the SCD benefits to her. I also would like to know if

anyone has had any experience with Clostridia or Klebsiella (especially

Klebsiella).

Thanks so much!

I've read that the Saccharomyces Boulardii is OK and works against

clostridia, does it work for Klebsiella too? Or how about just GSE?

Hope you get help, and never apologise fora sking for help for your

kids! Chris.

Some have found the diet helped with Clostridia, others use

Vancomycin, Flagyl, GSE and/or Saccharomyces boulardii (Elaine has

received v. good reports on using the S. boulardii)

From our old list here's what one family used,

" For Klebsiella we were given lauricidin, (monolaurin) but he won't

take it due to soapy taste. Then we were given capryllic acid which we

did in combination with bentonite and psyllium. "

" Or how about just GSE? "

Be careful with GSE. One of the doctors who spoke at DAN! said

that GSE kills everything - good and bad.

If you know that it is Klebsiella, I am assuming that you had a

stool test done. What does the lab report say that the Klebsiella

can be killed by? It should have had a list of drugs and a list of

natural agents that would kill the Klebsiella.

Yes, my daughter had a 4+ rating of Klebsiella (Nov 2003)! . our Dan

doctor gave us prescrption antibiotics to squash the klebsiella,

which gives rise to problems with yeast. klebsiella feeds on

starches. This was one of the main reasons why we decided to start

SCD.

Thanks

Everyone, including Shaw has said to use

the Saccharomyces Boulardii, the strange thing is

that was the probiotic we had been using for ten

months prior to being tested, and his levels were through

the roof, is it possible that they were even higher at one

time or the SB just doesn't work for us (we were using

florastor, and I stopped because it contained lactose)

Hi, I was interested in this recent discussion on Klebsiella and need

some advice. Several months ago, before starting my 3 1/2 yo son on

the SCD, a stool sample test of his indicated the presence of

Klebsiella pneumoniae at a 4+ level. The natural medicine doctor who

ordered the test did not indicate this was something for us to worry

about at the time, mainly because there were other " more pressing "

findings that we needed to take care of. However, for those of you

who have had to deal with Klebsiella, I am wondering, is this

something that we should not ignore? And if so, should I try to get

an antibiotic prescribed for him?

Thanks so much for your help,

Hi, Allyson -

We just did 3 weeks of Diflucan plus Flagyl for Klebsiella, Clostridia and

yeast (very bad numbers and stools!). He is better, but not perfect. Now I'm

rotating natural antifungals, including Uva Ursi (which his previous

Pseudomonas was sensitive to) and Kaprycidin-A (which the Klebsiella was

sensitive to), awaiting repeat OAT and CSA testing to see where we are going

next. The problem with the AGNB's (aerobic gram negative bacilli, like

Pseudomonas or Klebsiella) is that there is no broad spectrum enough

antibiotic in the USA to eradicate them, so if you treat you may suppress

one, but another may take its place. Sophie Rosseneu did a nice lecture

about this at the LA DAN conference - you can view it for free on the Autism

Research institute's website (look under DAN webcast). Anyway, the belief is

that once the gut heals, there is less likelihood for bacteria (and yeast)

to flourish. Would it be accurate to say that the SCD is more effective in

minimizing yeast overgrowth than in treating bacterial overgrowth? Whether

to treat or not depends on his symptoms - behavior, pain, bloating,

appetite, stools. If he looked good many months after the test and you

haven't treated, I would let it go. If you are having trouble with the above

symptoms, you may want to reculture at this point - if you get a positive

culture, you will hopefully also get sensitivities to both prescription and

natural antibacterials.

FWIW,

Kathy, thanks so much for your helpful info. My son does have many

of those symptoms, which are also of course associated with Crohns so

I don't know if it is due to that or to the Klebsiella. He is

currently on Prednisone for his Crohns. Do you happen to know if

that would affect the results of the test if we decide to have him

recultured? It all seems like such a guessing game, doesn't it?!?

Thanks!
