Re: NEED ADVICE FOR VERY RESISTANT YEAST AND BACTERIA PROBLEMS!

August 15, 2001

Just a thought but is he impacted-sometimes if you are constipated and when

you do go it is mushy and not formed it may be that there is a blockage and

all that is coming out is what can pass around-is the belly hard? lisa F

NEED ADVICE FOR VERY RESISTANT YEAST AND BACTERIA

PROBLEMS!

> I was wondering if anyone else on the list has had a similar experience

with their child. My son has very bad constipation/diarrhea problems, i.e.,

he does not have a bowel movement for days and when he does they are very

soft and unformed. We had him tested for yeast and bacteria and he came back

positive for yeast and clostridia. He has been on Pro Bio Gold, Culturelle,

saccramyces boulardi, and diflucan for months and had a course of vancomycin

three months ago. None of this is helping and his latest Organic Acid Test

from Great Plains shows DHPPA levels of over 1200 (range is from 0-150).

This is even higher than before we did the vancomycin. I don't know what to

do anymore. I know all of these gut problems are totally messing up his

behavior-he is very stimmy and often quite spacey and in the past month he

has started biting again-something that we haven't seen in over a year! He

goes through alternating periods of sweetness/happiness and then will fly

into a rage for seemingly no reason. He will be 4 next month.

gastroenterologist? If yes, can anyone recommend a good one in the NYC area.

I'm desperate!
