Since your daughter is so sensitive you are probably right...one more

allergy to add to your list.

Hi Joyce!

Happy New Year!

I won't discount the possibility of die-off. I have to say that I have never

observed any of the classical symptoms of yeast overgrowth in Leah - EXCEPT

for one. She has always had problems with vaginal yeast, especially after an

infraction with casein or soy and a subsequent infection that was treated

with an antibiotic. That's it. No ring around the anus, no dark circles

around the eyes, nothing!

Over the years, I've had her on a continuous regimen of GSE (until we

realized that citrus had to be taken out), oil of oregano (still takes that

4 times per day), olive leaf extract (also 4 times a day) for the past three

and a half years. About 4 months ago, I started her on ProBio (Enzymedica).

I started her on Caprylic Acid (Capryl by Solaray, which is made from palm

oil). At the same time, I also started her on Lauricidin. At first, she got

7 pellets and I gradually increased to three scoops per day.

Mid-year last year, I tried giving her TwiLabs Allergy C, but stopped as I

saw adverse reactions. At the time, I was removing corn and had trouble

pin-pointing all sources of it. I had to remove supplements and put them

back in, in order to determine which were causing problems. I put Allergy C

on the suspect list. Later, I tried it again, and again, there were

problems. I stopped it.

Back to Lauricidin and Capryl... On both of those, Leah was extremely

constipated. Before I started her on them, she went daily - without any

problems. In other words, with no dietary infractions, Leah is regular. As

soon as I removed the Lauricidin, Leah almost returned to normal, requiring

only 200-400 extra mg of Magnesium. Once I also removed Caprylic acid, she

went back to normal the next day.

I think, in this case, this is a case of intolerance to coconut (Lauricidin)

and palm (caprylic acid). I think I got final proof of problems with palm

oil today. I gave Leah some toast with Spectrum shortening this morning.

Sure enough, she didn't go to the bathroom today and she sneezed a lot.

Spectrum is made with palm oil. Leah has never been able to tolerate any

vitamin A that is made from palm. She doesn't tolerate carrots, and I can't

give her any other kind as most fish oils have soybean oil in them (makes

her very sick).

Dunno... Does anyone know of an IgG test that includes coconut and palm?

Thanks,

Rima Regas
