What do low creatinine levels mean?

Thanks Sally,

And I think the first part which says....

Creatinine is a substance that is produced during the body's natural activity

(metabolism).

is the significant part for children with disabilties where muscle tone is

usually low, activity less then creatinine is normally lower.

With SCD and less carbs, there is a school of thought that you further reduce

muscle mass by utilising proteins in your meatabolism more thereby reducing

muscle mass (perhaps and reducing it further). Some reckon that not having

readily metabolisable carbs (is that even a word or have I made it up?) is

problematic as brian function is dependent on readily available glucose

frequently so with SCD you do help the gut and the Candida overgrowth, but my

worry is as s creatinine has decreased so much are we seeing problems

like this.

Apparently using SCD long term this is a common feature, but still mulling it

over and checking it out so if anyone else has creatinine levels from pre and

during SCD (long term) that would be interesting.

Thanks for your help.

Luv Caroline

I can see why you are troubled about the creatinine as an indicator of

lack of natural activity but why are you troubled about the lack of

creatinine per se?

What problem is the lack of creatinine causing rather than indicating?
