Re: Stool saga update

Yay ! I'm so glad you have your daughter back. I know exactly

how it feels to watch that regression when you stop the enyzmes. We

only made it through breakfast without Houston's. By lunch we were

back on them, and same as you, within hours he was " back. " Glad you

discovered another layer of your daughter's enzymes needs, too.

That's a nice bonus!

I think what we are saying here, though, is you could do the test

while keeping your child on enzymes. But if you've decided the test

simply isn't necessary, that's your choice.

I wasn't trying to talk you out of testing, only trying to get

clarification on what was going on. A pediatrician was able to point

out inaccuracies to me on some testing I had done and I had this

confirmed from other sources. It may pay to check on any testing or

part of testing (or product, for that matter) as to whether it

actually has any established value. You can ask for the research,

who did the research, and whether they have any affiliations with the

product, test, company, etc., and if this research has been

duplicated by independent sources. My doctor has been helpful in

explaining the " why " of her position on things. For example, she

gave me a refresher course on " P value " in studies, how large a

clinical study should be before she would put any stock into it,

etc., which has been helpful. It's frustrating to spend hundreds of

dollars to find out things aren't always exactly as they are

represented to be.

Hi ,

I didn't take offense at all. MOF, I appreciate the concern and

interest from others on this board.

My current position is that I wasn't sure whether to test right now

because I have decided to change drs. and go another route altogether

(MT-promotor vs. chelation). This just forced the issue with me-thus

my frustration in trying to determine the best course of action. I

may have a slight edge also because of severe sleep deprivation!

Asking good questions is never offensive!

This past June my son had an x-ray of his abdomen and it showed a large amount

of stool. This was a concern, especially since he had diarrhea the day before

and hadn't eaten much. We had to have a breath test (with lactulose, not

lactose) for bacterial overgrowth and sure enough, he had a real big jump at the

45-minute mark (the test is several hours long). Anyway, this is how we found

out we were dealing with a bacteria problem and not a yeast problem (as far as

we know).

Hi sharon,

Thanks for the info. I will be testing next month when we see our new

Dan dr. I appreciate your sharing your experiences. I believe these

enzymes are an answer to our prayers in many ways. I don't want to be

without them unless absolutely necessary!
