Guest guest Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 You could find a company that tests for things like yeast. There are several people on the list that used a mail in type lab to have their stools tested. I think you would want to find out what his yeast levels are before proceeding. If found this by searching through the topics for Yeast Lab: The only way to know for sure if you have candida yeast overgrowth is to get a urinary dysbiosis test (measures by-products of yeast in the urine) - stool tests can often miss yeast, but the urine will show it. This is part of the Organic Acid Test (OAT) and is done by Metametrix, GreatPlains, and Genova Labs - it must be ordered by a physician. The entire OAT (metametrix calls it Organix) tells you what vitamins you are missing and is a very good gauge of your overall metabolic process, including toxicities and deficiencies. The dysbiosis part only measure the by-products of yeast and bacteria, and does not cost as much as the full test. This is one of the routine tests I get on all children with autism, as they have many metabolic disorders and most have yeast and bacteria and need to be treated for this to help them improve their health. http://ldn.proboard s.com/index. cgi?board= links & action=display & thread=1483 & page=1 Misty Kimble CD - No meds SCD - Jan 2008 > > > How do you know when the yeast issue has cleared and that taking LDN > would be successful?

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 We do the OAT with Great Plains. Far more accurate than a stool test for yeast. Even a nutritionist can order it. Call Great Plains Laboratory for more info, they are very helpful!!! > > > > > > How do you know when the yeast issue has cleared and that taking LDN > > would be successful?
