Re: OT: Elevated DHPPA and Probiotics

[Guest guest]

Hi

Yes, we have experience with this. My sons DHPPA level was at 786 before

any dietary intervention, last October. We went GFCF, I did one month of

low level nystatin, lowered sugar and fruit intake, and started pro bio

gold two times per day ( I like pro bio gold because it is suppose to help

with yeast as well, thought this seemed the better of the two from

Kirkmans). I retested Blake in May and his DHPPA is now at 86. YEAH! So

yes, this works!! Further, my son has had amazing progress developmentally.

The numbers and the progress show me what you are asking about--yes, they

seemed valid. The OAT test showed problems with yeast overgrowth and my son

was tested separately by Gr Gupta ( a well known immunologist in CA) who

also found that Blakes immune system was underresponsive to candida (he said

he saw this in the majority of his autism patients) and so I feel this has

been cross referenced by two separate doctors. But, the proof is in the

pudding--my son is doing excellently with the interventions mentioned. Good

luck and know that your results are common amongst many ASD children. BTW,

I had my daughter tested as well and while she also has some yeast

overgrowth and a little leaky gut, her DHPPA was normal and her results are

equivalent to where we believe she is at immunologically. (She is NT but

severe allergies, asthma, and she experienced some gut issues--yeast

problem )

OT: Elevated DHPPA and Probiotics

> Hi! My DAN doctor has me giving my son (2 and 1/2; Mild ASD) 2 capsules /

day of the Kirkman's ProCulture gold to get rid of clostridium bacteria

producing DHPPA toxin (his level is almost 600). I am noticing a manageable

but noticeable dieoff effect and am wondering the following:

> Does anyone have experience with this? How long did the die off last and

did you see improvements after it was over? Did you then have a problem

with yeast after the bacteria was eliminated?

> Also, I know others have questioned the lab results. Does anyone know how

Dr. Shaw's laboratory came up with the reference ranges for the " normal " ?

And/or how many subjects were tested to come up with the normal reference

ranges?

> I am 100% for the diet and this protocol, but I think I would feel even

more comfortable if I could have a better idea about objective measures (The

theory is Dr. Shaw's?, The tests were designed by Dr. Shaw? The results are

reported by Dr. Shaw?)

> Again, I'm not bashing, I just want to know if anyone else has these

questions and if anyone has found information. It also would help me with

my regular pediatrician to show him that something scientific that is

independently confirmed by someone other than Dr. Shaw's group.
