RE: diflucan, GSE, valtrex.. help?

, I think you are on the right track to test the stool for

bacteria. First, call Great Smokies Diagnostic Lab and ask what is

the specific name for a microbial test of the stool---I'm thinking

you might not have to pay for the full CDSA as you don't need the

absorption info, etc. (I'm currently running a microbial OAT to

check yeast, and it is $100 less than the full OAT.) Call the DAN's

office back, ask for the nurse. Tell her the doctor wrote so many

lab orders she accidentally forgot to order a (whatever name GSDL

tells you) from GSDL and it is the one you want run first. I don't

think you'll need to pester beyond this to get the order. Then run

the test. If you can't do the others now, so be it. Then if she

isn't willing to treat your son based on the results of the lab

you'll have to find someone who will. I am sorry you got this

response about Flagyl, plus attitude from your doc. I don't know

about her practice, but as best I can tell many listmates of mine

are prescribed Flagyl to kill bacteria (especially C-diff) in the

gut. If you need more names for her, you can cite Dr. Kucera (our

DAN!), Dr. Rao (our other DAN!), and Dr. Jepson (friend's kid

currently on Flagyl from him) who all routinely prescribe Flagyl for

bacterial gut infections. Good luck. Who the heck needs additional

challenges on this road! You may want to find another DAN! doctor.

,

You can do a comprehensive stool analysis

yourself. I’m told you can get your own kits at Direct Labs. I think its

www.directlabs.com Dr. Megson has

prescribed Flagyl when my son’s CSA showed an overgrowth of bad bacteria.

It worked like a charm.

Subject: diflucan,

GSE, valtrex.. help?

Hey guys, I am looking for some

input. I wrote a couple weeks ago

about my 6yo wo has been on valtrex (250mg 3x day) and diflucan (50 mg

1x day) for six weeks now. we have seen healing regression and gains

in language and writing.

Well, about three weeks ago he got really agressive and has been

hitting, kicking, spitting, scratching and threatening physical

violence, all new things for him. I went to my dan last week and

shelled out $150 for 30 minutes of her telling me

he just needs to

adjust to school. I mentioned flagyl

and she just about pitched a

fit... I told her many dans perscribe flagyl with vatlrex and

diflucan as eradicating yeast and viruses can give bacteria free

reign, she said " Dans like who? " I said McCandless for one.. she said

NO WAY would she perscribe flagyl, and if I wanted it I could go to

mccandless or someone else. I asked

if she would at least order labs

for gut bacteria (stool analysis I would guess) she said yes but then

wrote me orders for over 1000.00

worth of other labs... no bacterial

testing. I am totally annoyed.

So I am stuck. I am looking for a new dan, but in the mean

time what

to do? I started GSE about a week ago, it has taken the edge off the

agression but we are still having some

problems. I am seriously

considering stopping valtrex cause I don't want to start having

problems with the school, and believe me

it is heading that way cause

he has hurt so many kids. He has always been a super affectionate kid

who is easy to get along with and has minimal meltdowns

before the

valtrex.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I would hate to stop the

valtrex after six weeks and I know he needs it...

Thanks
