I thought I would post an update on our experience with the Dan doctor. Last week he sent us the results of Caden's Urine Organic Acids test. He sent a report from the lab along with his typed summary of the results. The summary was 1 ½ pages and included the following topics:

-fatty acid metabolism
-specific nutritional deficiencies
-neurotransmitter abnormalities
-oxidation damage
-detoxification abnormalities
-intestinal dsybiosis

Caden showed several nutritional deficiencies. The supplements that he has been on cover some of these. The additional supplements that the doctor recommended are Idebenone for coenzyme Q10 and folinic acid.

Caden's test showed excessive gut bacteria so the doctor sent us a prescription for Metronidazole. Caden will take it for 14 days. When he finishes the prescription he will need to take probiotics to replenish the good bacteria. The doctor recommended ProBioGold.

This test did not show evidence of yeast. The doctor recommends we test his stool for yeast stating that it sometimes shows up on one test but not the other.

The doctor said that we should either see him or have a phone consultation with him when Caden has finished the Metronidazole.

We have been giving Caden the supplements since our first visit with the doctor. Of all of the supplements the omega-3-fish oil has made the most notable difference in him. After starting the fish oil he was more social, better eye contact, and more verbal.

He has been on the casein free diet for a week. It has helped his sleep dramatically. I will post more about this later, on another thread.
