CDSA results & yeast

[Guest Guest_Caz]

After reading all the connections between yeast and tics on recent threads, does anyone have any experience with CDSA - The one we had done 3 months back showed no yeast isolated.

 

From all the antibiotics for ear trouble he has had in his life, I would have expected yeast to be a problem, but my doctor seemed pleased that there was no yeast.

 

How does this fit with others experiences?

 

It did show that lactobaccillius was only 2 and bifido baccillus was 2, the other two types were find. His gut ph was 5.5 (very acidic). Overall no parasites detected etc, but the dysbiosis index was 3 showing a microbial imbalance. We are heavily supplementing with probitics, and now prebiotics (larch bark stuff).

 

Any ideas?

According to our DAN doctor, the CDSA test gives a lot of false negatives. Yeast tends to form in clumps, and if you don't get that clump in the sample, you won't get a positive culture. If you get a culture, the good news is they test to see what is most effective on your yeast.

 

Phyl's son and mine both showed negative, yet they were both positive on the Great Plains OAT urine test. I would believe a negative on that test more.

 

My son and I both had low probiotics on the CDSA test, which does hint at a potential yeast issue. I think the Great Plains test is 'only' $128. They can also test for peptides for gluten and casein in the same urine sample.

 

I highly recommend the Great Plains test. They will also tell you about Glutathione levels--very very key in detox, such as mercury. 4 of our kids on the board who got this test done had low glutathione. We have threads on this with links.
