Okay, but this is the problem of parents of young children. For a

baby that is 20 months old, what is the thing making her

uncomfortable? At a young age, when symptoms can be significantly

reduced or eliminated there is no way to communicate with her as to

what she would like to change. In fact, at this age there is no way

to communicate at all. And, if we wait until she's old enough that

she should be able to communicate, we may have missed the window to

help her be able to and she might be locked away forever. The only

recourse we as parents have is to either seek all the treatment we

can to help her overcome her disability or wait and do nothing and

possibly sentence her to a life of profound disability.

What do we do as parents to find balance?

Dr. Bruce Semon told a biomedical conference I attended to deal with

yeast first. He talked in depth about the cognitive effects of yeast

in the gut. Sounds like you did exactly the right thing.

Do you use antibiotics for ear infections or do you do natural

remedies? And do you return to a good pro-biotic after an

antibiotic, or do you see your daughter fighting off the bad stuff on

her own. In other words, was that enough to boost her immune system,

or do you have to jump start it sometimes?
