This is my biggest fear! Because it is totally possible , I deal with a lot of poop on a daily basis... I obsessively wash my hands, but sometimes I feel like I can still smell it. Anyway, when I saw this I just had to share !
So speaking of poop....remember how we sent Porter's to Chicago to get analyzed? Well, we got the results last week and I thought I'd share, I know how you must be just dying to hear all about it :)
It was being tested for yeast and bacteria levels. The results showed that his yeast levels are fine. Now, most people would probably be happy to hear that, but I'll admit I was a little disappointed. Why? Well, I have been reading about how many kids with autism have a whack of yeast in their bodies and when it is treated the results can be amazing! So to be honest, we were hoping he was full of it!
Now having said that, his bacteria levels are definitely off. I didn't quite follow all of the biology lingo, but basically there is a mixture of good and bad bacteria in all of us, but most of us have the proper amounts of each. Porter does not. He has too much bad stuff and not enough of the good stuff. His numbers were supposed to be 3 or 4 and many of his good bacteria levels were at a 1.
So next step, stronger probiotics! Then after a month we have another phone visit to see how things are progressing and we will go from there.
Chat soon!
