Guest guest Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Just thought I'd repost this to see if anyone had any insight.....thanks!! Hi, everyone! I'm new to the site and glad to be here! My son had an OAT test which showed very high arabinose levels (85.84). We did a stool culture that showed no yeast, but high bacteria. (I don't have a copy of that report--just verbally from the dr.) She said to cut sugars and double our probiotic. (We use Kirkmans Pro Bio Gold.) But I am still questioning whether or not he has a yeast issue. I've heard a stool test may not show it and I also recently learned that Dr. Shaw has said arabinose is the best marker foryeast. We have an appt. with our DAN! doctor next week. What advice might you have? Should I ask for a prescription for Diflucan? Nystatin? Both? We also used Yeast Aid for a week (and did see improvement using Yeast Aid, doubled probitic and eliminated sugars.) Should we continue on that? Also, is it OK to use honey when eliminating sugar? And, I've read 2 fruits a day are OK--is that true? Thanks for your help! /mom to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Honey is the same as sugar and contraindicated on GF/CF/SF/SF (no gluten, casein, soy, or sugar). Your doctor should tell you what your child needs from history and testing.
