New test results

In January this year we received our test results back for our son from the NutraEval test that was blood/urine test to check amino acid, mineral, metals, neutransmitters and much more that I don't even understand. After that test, we adjusted some levels of things and added in the B6 and B12, more Cod Liver Oil, more calcium, Evening Primrose Oil, more vitamin D and CoQ10. It also showed on the test "looked" like a child who was smack dab in the middle of the Autistic spectrum (according to the doctor). We have been so fortunate that we started the diet (GFCF, Feingold) and enzymes and probiotics when we did. We also stopped immunizations and try desparately to avoid all the toxins we can in our enviroment.

Just a few weeks ago, we received a GI stool test back and found out some more interesting information. Our son had 3 parasites and some other gastrointestinal distress most likely caused by yeast (Candida).

Our daughter also had the GI stool test taken. We have struggled for years with her bloating, gas, sleep problems, and low blood sugar episodes. Finally, after getting the results from this test, everything became clearer. She is allergic to wheat/corn/potatoes and has been on enzymes/probiotic for years also, but we've had to change them periodically because they seem to "stop working". We added in Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) recently and that helped some and took beans out of her diet and got a little relief but not enough. A 3 year old with a stomach ache who loses about 2-3 hours sleep a day starts to become quite a hard thing to deal with after a few days, let alone a few weeks or months.

The test revealed that she had Heliocobactor Pylori bacteria in her stomach and 2 parasites in her gut. She also had yeast overgrowth. The H.Pylori is the bugger responsible for creating ulcers and apparently infects about half the world. Because she has low stomach acid, it was really doing some serious business in her stomach and causing problems in digestion and in her gut. We started a combo product that has Mastic Gum and some other things in it and are already seeing results. Wow!!!
