How could she be low on lactobilli and yet have no yeast?

[Guest guest]

I just got my dd's stool analisis back. Her Dr's (and I) have thought

that she had an obvious systemic yeast problem. The stool culture

came back negative for yeast. None was cultured at all. It also came

back negative for lactobacillus (good bacteria) none was cultured at

all. And low on bifidobacterium, half of the recomended level. (they

recomend it be a 4 her's was a 2). Does this make any sense to

anyone? Oh and no other bacteria cultured other than good gut

bacteria in the normal ranges.

We have been doing scd for 4.5 months. Could we have cured her yeast

and her gut just hasn't caught up? She eats the 24 hour yogurt like

crazy. In fact I called the lab to make sure it was ok for her to be

eating the yougurt since it said to stop taking supplimental

acidopholis but they said that yogurt doesn't count cause it is a food.

Could her yeast reactions be becasue I have systemic yeast and am

passing enough on for her to react to it? How can in increase her

good bacteria? I got the test results today and my Dr's office isn't

open so I'm going crazy trying to figure out what this means.

Thanks for any insight.

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)

Patty,

I'm sorry it looks like no one has answered your question. I hope the doc can

explain it to you next week. I personally have zero experience with stool

testing.... we've never done it with our daughter. Maybe this reply will catch

someone's eye and get you a response.

When my yeast was wild and out of control I had blood tests stool

tests and mouth swabs done. The stool tests turned up nothing out of

the ordinary.

I had done the ole' spit in a cup of water home test and that was

positive. The mouth swab was positive and nothing turned up in the

blood tests. The doc prescribed nystatin but it didn't work for

me. I found " yeast specific " enzymes ( I took candizyme) to be

quite effective...along with SCD.

There may be other more definitive tests that can be done.

The big question is how are her symptoms, has she had any changes

improvements etc. on the diet. I tend to think that the real proof

is in the (SCD) pudding.

What has changed from the first few weeks then/ Do you have a

record of what foods she was eating then? How were the foods

prepared? Any different supplements then that are different now?

Have you added any supplements since that period.

Yeast can be a real pain to get rid of, but many have been quite

successful.

What fruit are you both eating? Is it raw or peeled and cooked?

How much of each fruit for her /day?

Have you read " Yeast and SCD " at

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/pecanbread/files/ - this may

help.
