Re: Labatory Test to Excess the damage done

[Guest guest]

Hi, I was reading your post and thought I should put some input in for your.This

is straight from the book Language Of Medicine 7th edition by Davi-Ellen

Chabner. Please read all this is important. There are test that can confirm

what damage is done intestinal wise.

1.Gastroenterologist can examine the intestines this is not a nice

procedure by

endoscopy (this is how secretin was discovered to help children with autism

because they used secretin as a lubricant for the endoscope).A physican places a

flexible fiberoptic tube through the anus to view parts of the intestinal tract

these procedures are commonly called colonscopy,sigmoidoscopy,proctoscopy and

anoscopy.Much less intruding procedures are

Radiologists can perform

Bariun Swallow upper Gi Series

Purpose-To Study the esophagus,stomach,duodenum and small intestine

for disease( Ulcers,tumors,hiatal hernia

Procedure-The patient is asked to drink a flavored barium mixture while

standing in front of a fluoroscope.The radiologists observes the passage down

from the digestive tract.The patient is turned to variuos positions to allow

good visualization of the intestines and X-rays are taken

Barium enemia lower GI series purpose to study the colon for

disease(polyps,tumors,lesions)

Procedure- The colon is filled with a barium sulfate mixture, The Pt is turned

to various positons to allow the barium to fill the colon.Air is injected to

move the barium along the colon.When the colon is full xrays are taken.

Computed Tomography; also called CT,CT Scan, or CAT scan-Xray series showing

cross sections of an internal organ.

I would research under fiber and check to see if hes getting enough also you

may want to research under cod liver oil,amino acids, you can get vitamins at

Brainchildnutritionals.com that helps digestion,immune and neurological systems

for children on the spectrum.

Irritable Bowl Syndrome-Group of gastrointestinal symptoms associated with

stress and tension. Gastrointestinal symptons are diarrhea,

constipation,bloating and lower abdominal pain.Upon extensive examination,the

intestines appear normal,yet symptoms persist.Treatment is systematic with a

diet high in fiber and bran .To soften stools and regulate bowel movements.REF

Language Of Medicine 7th Edition.

Labatory Test

Stool Culture- test for microorganisms present in the stool.

Stool Guaiac or Hemoccult Test- Detection of blood in the feces

Direct Bilirubin test measure conjugated bilirubin.high levels indicate liver

disease or biliary obstruction. This test can be performed at home you can buy

the Ph Urinalysis test strips on the internet and follow the directions but

you have to make sure your collection is a Clean Catch Urine (look up the steps

for clean catch urine)or your test results may not be accurate.There is also a

color on the test strip that measure alkaline phosphates, alkaline is a enzyme

that may be elevated with liver, bone or other diseases.

Liver Function Test- Tests for the presence of enzymes and bilirubin in serum

Did you know adults need 20 to 30 grams of fiber each day

How much fiber is in

Navy Beans, cooked 1/2 cup 9. grams

Kidney Beans, cooked 1/2 cup 8.2 grams

blackeye pease, cooked 1/2 cup 5.6 grams

Sweet Potato baked with skin 3.8 grams

Banana Medium 3.1 grams

Orange raw medium 3.1 grams

collards cooked 1/2 cup 2.7 grams

Why eat fiber?

Fiber is an important part of a healthy diet.It has been shown to reduce the

risk of heart disease, diabetes and certain intestinal problems.It also keeps

you regular! For more info about food nutritional or health contact your county

BM-wise is still on the constipated side of things, although his

stools are less hard and no longer peel the wallpaper. He'e gone a few

times on his own but still needs help. Seizures are not completely gone

but are definately improved. Cognitively (he's 3 years old but maybe 3

months old congnitively) he has started to tell us, in a very obvious

way, when he is " done " with feeding, play, therapy etc. This just

started a few days ago and is pretty amazing to me.

Any help, comments, suggestions would be appreciated.

Did you know that we should not eat several things on the fiber list?

Sweet Potato

blackeyed peas.

Beans are not to be used at the begining of the diet even the legal White

Northern beans.

I opted to get on SCD six years ago without all these tests. Subsequently I did

need a

colonoscopy which is suggested for those after age fifty and I needed to have

some

polyps removed.

Unfortunately, the majority of doctors who perform these tests rarely have heard

of SCD

and don;'t take the time to investigate it when asked.
