Yucca reaction? Infection?

[Guest guest]

I'm wondering if anyone has some thoughts on the issue our son is

having. Last Thursday we started him on Yucca - gave him his first

dose late morning (first time). By the middle of the afternoon, he

was having very painful urination. The pain has continued. Other

than the pain when he urinates, he acts normal and says he feels

fine. Obviously, we did not give any additional doses of Yucca.

Both of our doctors were out on Friday but we spoke to colleagues in

their offices that had never heard of this kind of reaction. We have

ruled out oxalates and a urinary tract infection. We had some

additional labs run this weekend and should have the results for our

doctors tomorrow. In the meantime, our poor little guy is in huge

pain, and it is not getting any better. We did go to urgent care

today where they ran some additional tests and they see some

indication of an infection but didn't have any further feedback - but

are running the additional tests. A friend was kind enough to look

at the urine in her microscope and we found some things that look

unusual but we can't find anything on-line that looks like these

images (any website suggestions where we could try to match up our

images?). We know the Yucca may be a coincidence but could it have

triggered something? I would love any thoughts from those on this

list - including suggestions to lessen the pain while we work through

this. Thanks!

Sorry, the only think I can add is that we have not had this reaction to Yucca.

It only helps a little towards lowering our ammonia, so even though I have used

it, we now mostly use other things. My vote is that either a pathogen or the

immune system got stirred up, either by the Yucca or just coincidental. Maybe

someone else has a better answer.

Love and prayers,

yucca is a root vegetable and has amylase which in shoemaker mold world should be avoided. i also believe that some of the root veges are high oxalate which would nail down the peeing issues and funk your are seeing under the microscope, either way, if it grows underground i cringe....too many other contaminents that can sneak into underground food...you might want to look at susan owen's Low Oxalate Work....very interesting stuff....but my 2 cents on the site (and all the vulvodynia/oxalate stuff) it goes back to mold, lyme and the pleomorphic nature of this stuff....plain and simple....maybe even more mold as that crushes the MSH levels.

this is an old food oxalate list that is not entirely accurate...but yucca has been tested by susan.  you could post a question and see if one of the girls respond.  good site...like ours but in my opinion they are missing the major culprit.  i'm soooooo boring and narrow minded these days!!
