Valtrex update

[Guest guest]

Hi Stan,

We are on day 20 of valtrex/diflucan.

She is 8 yrs and weighs 58 Lbs. Day 3 on valtrex she had a fine rash

on her cheeks.Very fine (little raised spots).Only my husband and i

could tell.By day 4 this fine rash had spread to her ears.

We are GF/CF.

My daughter has never really had too many yeast issues in the past

but i can see that yeast is definately going to be a problem this

time. Obviously Valtrex had been stirring up yeast. To get to SCD is

a huge problem forus. We do not eat meat and she is not much of a

veggie eater. We have been juicing for some years ,thanks to Dr

Neubrander.

By day 7 ,this fine rash went down.But i could see it came and went

as the days progressed. We did see regression right away. She lost

focus,was highly irritable and i started getting notes from school

saying things were not going too well at school.Several attempts to

bite self in frustration..By day 14 she had a cold sore that went

away by day 16.It came back again onDay 17 and has subsided now. Last

2 days she has a runny nose, and has developed a cough.She is also on

liver life since the last 2 mths. Gradually trying to build up on LL,

but it has been very slow.

I have seen no gains whatso ever. I was concerned to read that yeast

can mask the gains .

I am trying to still figure out if she is a valtrex responder. I have

not done any tests in this regard, because Dr N thought it may or may

not help.

2 yrs back i did do a titer for measles since school was after us (as

we did not give the MMR booster).Her measles then was out of refernce

range (very high).

Any advice for this concerned mom. I know SCD is the way to go, but

it scares me. I did take away the rice and potato after reading your

post, but she still gets sorghum, millet.I have read the SCD website

and am trying to incorporate that.

Thanks for helping,

M's Mom
