Case Study

The case patient presented with weight-loss difficulty, headaches, constipation, and post-shift crashes despite normal standard labs. The patient's lactic acid pattern was interpreted as diversion of glycolytic end products from the Krebs cycle. The patient's aspartame-containing gum habit was identified after a borderline detoxification marker elevation. The patient's recent move into newer construction and new furniture purchase were relevant exposure context. The patient's elevated oxalates were attributed partly to leafy greens, beets, soy, and the microbial pattern on the OAT. The patient's OAT yeast and fungal abnormalities were interpreted as consistent with mycotoxin involvement and possible yeast overgrowth.
