Re: Please look over my plan for treating bacterial overgrowth-additions

More info I forgot to add:

Possible Thyroid issues, TSH was 3.32, but ped didn't think that was an

issue, thinking about supplementing myself with Idoral becuase I think

I need it and it is passed on in breast milk.

For some reason, all the dr's are reluctant to run tests. I guess they

just think I'm another wacko mom who thinks her kid can't possibly be

with holding. So she has NOT had a comprehensive stool exam, but they

did a ova/parasite/WBC/fecal fat that was normal.

We are not doing SCD or GAPS, but I am limiting grains and sugars

because I have observed that certain ones must feed the bacteria

because she bloats up and then doesn't want to eat anything.

Oh, yeah, and I found something in the archives about carotene

conversion. My dd often has orange poop after eating a lot of carrots,

squash, or oranges. Maybe this ties in with the thyroid function issue?

Regardless, I just need to kick this bacteria to the curb so my kid can

start absorbing nutrients again!

Thanks again,

I used selenium, iodine, and tyrosine to correct this problem.

This sounds like yeast.

Yes, proper carotene conversion requires vitamin C, zinc, and thyroid

hormone.
