Jzin, I just today received my 4yr old DS OAT results and he has yeast and

bacteria...what is metronidazole/fluconazole?

Lynn (just read the book; not started SCD yet)

8yr old ASD

4yr old yeast/bacteria

19mth old digestion - yeast/bacteria?

My son's yeast and other bad bugs (2 Seperate times we

checked) did not show up on

stool culture but only showed up on Great Plain Lab's

microbial OAT test (yeast and clostridia...which we

treated with compounded metronidazole/fluconazole simulatenously

and resulting in better formed poops)

Thanks Sheila,

She was better on scd at first but now she isn't really. The

improvement the first couple of weeks was dramatic but pretty much

nothing since then.

I was doing a trial of cutting out all fruit this past week for the both

of us (she still nurses). It didn't seem to make any difference and

then when I got the test results on Sat. I decided to go ahead and give

her fruit. Sat night was a nightmare! I can't say it was definatly the

fruit since I realized tonight that she hasn't been sleeping well since

her Chiro visit on Thurs but I think it was worse. Behavior we hadn't

seen in ages. Hitting us, even w/o a nap that day fighting sleep. Our

neighbor came over she she kept shoving her little girl. (I've never

seen her act like that, she usually confines that behavior to us, I

guess she is growing up).

How can I not feed her any fruit? How is that healthy for her?

I have tried the enzymes and given up getting them into her. They cause

my liver to hurt and no one knows why so I can't take them and get them

into her that way either. Since my liver is questionable most yeast

meds are out of the question and she has gotten a rash from nystatin in

the past so I can't take that.

I'm at my wits end! I expect the naturopath we are seeing will trust

the test results but I'm not sure. She is a recent graduate and pretty

young so not lots of experience but she is in our Dr's office and on our

insurance so it seemed like the right place to start. She is also doing

cranial on dd. Not that, that seems to make any difference either.

I feel like I am just throwing away our money on this expensive food,

suppliments, therapies for all of us and it isn't doing any good. We

could all take a vacation to Hawaii and quit all this with the same

results we have seen so far. At least I could be exhausted from lack of

sleep in a beautiful place...

Sigh.

Patty SCD 4.5 months (celiac?, Candidia) DH (cause he loves us) and DD

2 y-o (celiac?, Yeast? )
