Great Plains Test

[Suzan]

Has anyone done the great plains test stool test where it gives results on bacterial sucseptability? I was just looking over dd8's testing to get ready for her LLMD appt next week. She shows resistant to amoxicilin and ampicilin on this test. She's been on amoxicilin for her lyme for months with no real improvment. I am assuming this test result means that the amox doesn't work for her. Is anyone familiar with this test? It also shows she's resistant to caprylic acid which she's been on for antifungual support.

 

She's been crying again because she doesn't want to grow old and wrinkled and die. That's never a good sign. and she's not eating well again. Our LLMD appt can't come fast enough for me.

 

Thanks,

Susan- Is this the MOAT test? I only ran the urine test (OAT) which didn't check if resistant to abxs. Did it also check for clostridia? thx

We did the OAT too and I think there was an add on stool test but I can't find what it was called. I don't see where it checks for clostridia.

Ok, thanks. I like the idea of checking for resistance.

I did this for dd8 and dd9. Show's candida, parasites, etc. In retrospect, pretty cool test. We did this before we knew about pandas and were trying to figure out what was going on.

I had that many years ago. That is what it's saying, except I think it is saying that with respect to particular bacteria it found, I believe it lists the bacteria it is referring to. So, I don't know that it means everything will be resistant to those things. Still, given your experience, does make you think about trying something different, eh?

Oh yes, I see now, at that time (2008) she showed positive for gamma strep, cigtrobacter freundii and klebsiella pneumonia all resistant to amox. She was treated at the time with something, but I can't remember what. I would say it's probably true it's not working for us.

 

Thanks everyone, I understand better now!
