Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hello friends - Sorry for the crosspost if I'm hitting several of you with the same email. We have finally (finally!) achieved near regularity with Luke's stools in both form and frequency by SCD/GF/CF, aggressive and varied enzyme use, and reduction in oxalate unfriendly foods. Improvements in behavior have been seen with associated improvement in stools. Even with that, however, lab tests continue to he simply isn't absorbing the various nutrients we are giving him. Vitamin D shows 2 SD below normal depsite daily doses @ 300 RDA, likewise low zinc and selenium despite continuous supplementation for over a year. We are really getting the feeling that we might be doing a lot more good if some of the supplements we laboriously divide and hide in his drinks were being absorbed. He has been known to have bacterial imbalances and yeast overgrowth. He's on probiotics and sometimes anti yeast agents. Predicted die offs from SCD have been documented and the yeast die offs were quite spectacular. Even still, it seems apparent he simply is not taking in what we are giving him. What are our options for figuring out what is going wrong with his gut? Presumably a gastro doctor could scope him to determine inflammation and / or villi damage, but I'm a little reluctant to put him under unless we feel confident we will get actionable information from doing so. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks! brian ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Sucker-punch spam with award-winning protection. Try the free Yahoo!
