Re: organic acid test results - b12 not being absorbed - why not?

[Guest guest]

My son had what his DAN said was the " worse OAT I have ever seen " last

year. Among other things it showed a great need for B12 in spite of

the fact that we were doing the shots, etc. Not sure exactly what

helped but we put him on LOD and added the mito cocktail sups and

recently got back a MUCH improved OAT and the B12 issues were

resolved.

Why? What's the connection? Do you happen to know?

My understanding is that pyroglutamate forms in the gamma-glutamyl cycle (the

way cells transport amino acids and other " things " across cell membranes,

with the help of glutahione or some other gamma-glutamyl containing peptide).

Low or high pyrogluatamate has something to do with the level of glutahione

in the cell, not with the B12. Low glutahione can cause low or high

pyroglutamate, depending on other factors.

Why do you give diflucan for high hippuric acid?

It's my understanding that some bacteria would cause low hippuric acid

actually, by deconjugating the hippuric acid in the intestines to benzoic

acid and glycine.

I think a person that eats lots of carbohydrates will have more hippuric

acid.
