Organic Acid Test (OAT)

Hi,

I hope this post is allowed here - apologies if not.

Does anyone have any experience with the the Organic Acid Test (OAT)?

It looks at yeast and fungal, and metabolic deficiencies and whole range of other nutritional and metabolic factors.

We are using this for our young children diagnosed with ASD to explore the "leaky gut syndrome"

This isn't something which I hear about in the UK however, I understand it is a common approach in America and other European countries (I got laughed at by my GP when I mentioned it).

I would love to hear from anyone that has any experience in this area.

Thanks x

  • I don't class myself as all knowing but I've never heard of an OAT test though I've had a fair few of the other ones, I'm also not going to say people shouldn't do their own research online but personally I'm a great believer in getting your information directly from 'the' source and for me trusted and reliable sources for information abut the gut are Coeliac UK and Professor David Sanders, Professor Sanders has done some really interesting presentations which have been filmed and can now be found on YouTube. A friend of mine also recommends Guts UK but I'm less familiar with them.
