Amino Acid Analysis

[Guest guest]

We're supplementing Amino Acids, and most of them are still low on the Genova

Diagnostics

urine amino acid analysis. A few things are sticking out at me that I wanted

to run by you

all. A common theme seems to be " GI dysfunction " (no real big surprise) and

" gastric

hypochlorhydria " . I presume the second is low stomach acid. What can be done

for this? I'm

certain this is a problem. Once he urped up his enzymes more than 30 minutes

after taking

them, and they were pretty much still intact. Is this from low stomach acid?

" intestinal

malabsorption " is another recurring theme. I feel like we're doing everything

already to heal

the gut. Are we missing something? (we're on the diet(s), taking enzymes,

probiotics,

nystatin...) The other prevalent theme is " dietary protein insufficiency " .

He's getting protein

at every meal. Should we add more protease? I'm getting frustrated, after more

than a year

at this. All are somewhat " better " but still rather low. Should we try

switching brands of

aminos? Should we try to get all of it compounded or just the REALLY low ones?

Thanks for

any insight!
