Suzanne- d lactic acid

[Guest guest]

Dear Suzanne,

I think my son is much like yours but I have not been as effective at

diagnosing and treating him as you have been. We are very allergic with

bad gi issues. Could you please share with me about the d lactate test?

Our regular GI mentioned it a year ago. We instead continued to pursue

gut avenues via our DAN like the usual antifungal and antibacterial and

probiotcs and then went to Dr. K for a scope. I understand that when

someone has d lactic acid overload that they may seem drunk. My child

looked drunk for most of his early time, such as disoriented and bad

balance. Now we have him on scd and he is looking much better. What do

you look for to learn if a child has a d lactic acid problem? How do

you test for it? If the child is in a phase where he is doing better,

will the results show anything- will scd cover up or cure the problem?

I am under the impression from our DAN that an oversupply of d lactic

acid results in too much gram negative bacteria but not particular

overgrowth of specific types of bacteria. But we have had lots of

hypurric acid in the past so we took vanco as a poor long term but great

short term fix. Is this hypuric acid related to d lactic acid? Do you

know of any links that might help? Thank you Rob's mom

Re: need legal anti-bacterial supplement equal to

lactobacillus rhamnosus

I don't know if this is SCD legal, but Custom Probiotics makes a

line of very high-potency probiotic powders that contain ONLY the

probiotics - no disaccharide or polysaccharide fillers. You can buy

single strains, and they probably have this strain.

My son is medically unable to take any lactobacillus acidophilus

cultures due to a d-lactate condition, and his stool tests show he

lacks a good flora base in his gut. Our nutritionist has just

recommended the Custom Probiotics line (they have a specific D-

lactate formulation especially fo ASD kids).

acid test. Great Plains lab said that this is due to dysbiosis and

needs to be treated with a probiotic that contains 30-50 cfu's of

lactobacillus rhamnosus. I know that this is not a legal probiotic

on SCD and that SCDophilus is the only legal one. But will it treat

the specific bacterial overgrowth as needed? Since the lab said to

use the lact-rham., I am concerned that SCDophilus may not treat

this particular problem.
