Just an FYI...I have two kids fully igenex positive for babesia ducani. (Antibody and FISH) We live in the Midwest. Xoxoxox...
My two kids tested positive Lyme IFA (>80) and also several bands on western blot--only my daughter came up Igm IND overall result by igenex standards. But BOTH very positive Babesia IFA and positive...
I am going to clarify that tomorrow, Girlie. The doc wants me to review all inactive ingredients to make sure it's safe for my son (EOE) before they write the scrips....
My magic rounding skills that aren't so magical. ;)...
50mg x 35.38 kg=1769 mg divided into 8 hour doses = 590mg three times a day. That burscanno page says its DIVIDED into 8 hour doses....not given in 8 hour doses....right?...
78 pounds, not kg Girlie.;) he is 11 yo. And no probenecid. We haven't started the protocol yet as I think the 4500 mg a day is too high....and it appears to be! So 1500mg divided into three doses is...
78 pounds...
A bit concerned about such a high dose of amoxicillin (1500mg 3X/day) for my son! Is this a normal dose for a child with Lyme, babesia and Bart? I can't imagine how his stomach would tolerate it!?...
I'm sure all co-infections do too. I just love seeing actually research on it! :))...
Babesiosis American Society of Microbiology 2000 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC88943/pdf/cm000451.pdf **i know this is 15 years old** "Immunosuppression is a common characteristic among...
Have they looked at the HFE gene due to the high ferritin ?...
We get scopes every two months for eosinophilc esophagitis (EoE)....And at first my son had eosinophils in his duodenum as well (EGID). At any rate, if you look at path reports from the biopsies of...
And treat babesia first, Bart, then lyme...right?...
I brought my igenex results to my pediatrician. The testing was NOT initiated through him, but the "alternative" doctor who signed for the test advised not treating unless something pops up. The...
Thank you guys. I'm still nervous to tell him, but no way around it...I have to. Thanks for helping me get my courage up!...
Not even sure how to broach this subject with my 11 yo son. He already deals with so much health wise. I want to tell him some of these things may in fact improve with treatment. But I don't want to...
Awesome list, traveler!...
Why does igenex test band 18 if it's not even specific to lyme and is "unknown"? I don't understand........
I don't know when my son was ever bitten but he's come up IFA positive for lyme and b ducani and borderline bartonella. In the last 9 months his body started making antibodies to nearly all foods....
B ducani in Illinois? Or was it a random exposure on one of our few trips out East to the Boston area? We are NOT outdoorsy people and never hiked or camped in any sort of woodsy area. I'm shocked my...
Ok I have my email enabled! Forgot about that!! Thanks for the links!!...
LLMD needed in IL or WI. Hoping for a well-known doctor with pediatric experience! TIA!!...
From what I understand, we are lucky anything at all came up positive for coinfections. I'm glad we have this information! And FYI we do not ever recall a tick bite or bulls eye rash in my 11 yo son....
I finallyyyyyt got co-infection results from Igenex! Babesia FISH (RNA) positive B. ducani IFA IGM 80 (active infection) B. ducani IFA IGG 40 (may or may not be active) B. microti IFA IGM 20 (may or...
Thanks guys. I appreciate your thought so much!!...
Foods can absolutely cause a ton of issues if your body is making antibodies to them. Absolutely. We deal with EoE and both my kids are off of dairy, wheat, soy, egg, nuts and fish. And my son is off...
I actually have two kids with EoE so I am very familiar with it, thanks. I'm just wondering about whether or not lyme it coinfection can cause tissue specific eosinophilia. (I'm betting it...
Does anyone have any thoughts about lyme/co-infection and eosinophilic esophagitis? My son is making antibodies to every imaginable food (confirmed by skin and blood test). Just trying to figure out...
Someone kindly posted that co-infection tests have high false negatives. So.....what about specificity? If you get a positive result for a co-infection, could there be a cross reacting organism...or...
Almost all adults by age 40 have been infected with EBV. It's not uncommon. I'd want to know if the results point to a current infection or not....
Wow. Ok that's interesting. Thank you!!!...
Is there a high false positive rate for co-infection testing? Just wondering as we await results....
Ok that does make sense. Thanks!...
Is the human body ever capable of eradicating a co-infection/parasite on it's own? Surely *some* people can, right? I'm currently anxiously awaiting coinfection results for my son....
I will check that site. Thank you!!!!...
Once you get the 23&me report, you can upload it to a site like "sterlings app" to get the info you're looking for. I also ran ours through "genetic genie" it had great methylation and detox reports...
Thank you guys. I do really appreciate all of your thoughts. As far as dx. In order from @5 years ago. Severe allergies, Tics, adhd (tried many meds but didn't metabolize them well so we have been...
Thank you so much. In the back of my mind, I don't want progression of anything, yk?...
I had my 10 yo son tested via igenex and here are the results...both igg iGm negative despite a positive IFA. I has him tested as kind of a last thought after a combination of issues over the years....
