EAMom Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Huh. How did your son's strep get found in the gut? What test was done? How did you get to the root of the matter. Our doctor suspected PANDAS because of the OCD, and taking his medical history there were some GI issues, so besides checking his blood, they also checked the stool, and the tests came back with high streptozyme, ASO, Dnase titers, and streptococcus in the stool. He has been under treatment since July. Physically, he is better (not so tired all the time, more energy), but the OCD and anxiety are still strong, so to tell you the truth, I don't think we've gotten to the root of the matter yet. Are maybe we have, it will just take time. The doctor that originally diagnosed him said it would take about a year... We are working with Dr. Latimer now to see if with steroids or maybe IVIG we can see some improvement on the neurological side... Mati's mom, IMO, getting strep out of the household (SIBLINGS!!) is going to be a huge factor for your son...it was for our PANDAS dd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
