RE: die off reactions & spacey

March 4, 2008

I can't figure out where the original question is about die off

reactions and spaciness. I have been trying to research this. My

son's candida issue is HORRIBLE, high bacteria and high Vitamin C,

due to the yeast. We are using ThreeLac twice a day and a

probiotic/special diet. After almost a month, we haven't seen any of

the yeasty poops or anything that people mention. We have an appt.

with Megson next week, so I am hoping to finally start a

prescription. I know that's what he needs...

My son improved tremendously on the GFCF diet and seemed like such a

happy kid. His tantrums were fading/gone and his speech seemed

great. He was still eating daily fruit at this time but people were

saying he seemed like a completely different child. Still verbal

stimming, but seemed to interact with people alot more. When I found

out about his yeast issue through the OAT, it was recommended I cut

out all sugar, most fruit, and make even more changes to his diet on

top of the super nu thera, vitamin A and yeast treatment. My son is

still doing well and his verbal stimming has decreased even more.

However, he has become MUCH more spacey. It takes him SO much longer

to respond to his name or complete tasks. I have even been thinking

lately about just going back to GFCF only since he seemed more " with

it " then. I don't understand why he seems " further away " now. Maybe

it seems this way because his stimming has gone down so much and his

tantrums are almost fully gone. I guess I am used to at least

HEARING him more. I wanted the tantrums/stimming to stop SO bad

before, and now that they have been cut tremendously, it seems like

he is " in his own world " more. Does this make sense to anyone? Could

the spaciness be the yeast dying off? Any imput appreciated.
