Re: persistent tummy ache

>>He also has a pH 5.7 ( ref. range : 6 - 7.2) of his stool.

My thought is that the excess acidity of his system is both killing off

flora and possibly both a direct and indirect cause of his tummy ache.

Excess acidity causes inflammation in the body and also promotes infection.

You might try to make his system more alkaline and see if that helps.

There are some comments here which might help and some links at the bottom

of this page on alkaline-acid foods: http://healthgazelle.org/ph.shtml

This is a page about a cystic fibrosis (CF) (a condition I and my oldest

child have), so some of it won't be of interest to you. However, excess

acidity is typical for CF patients and so are the types of gut issues

commonly discussed on this list. I usually had a stomach ache as a child

and continued to have gut issues well into adulthood, in part because I had

no diagnosis until I was almost 36. I no longer suffer the way I used to

and I am working on getting truly well for the first time in my life. PH

balance is a major focus of my efforts to get genuinely well and I also

believe that excess acidity in the body of CF patients is directly causative

and/or a direct contributor to many of the health issues commonly suffered

by CF patients, including horrific gut issues.
