Re: Christel: odd toenails here too....

[Guest guest]

My son also has the same odd toenails and never thought much of it. On his testing it showed that he only had a slight yeast problem. How do you know this is yeast and not something else? My son has not responded well to GFCF diet, B-12, supplements, anti-viral or anti-fungals. I am trying everything we can and have not seen much improvement if any. Maybe the toenail thing will be a hint.

We have not tried Stan's diet because my son is three and is extremly low weight. It is almost impossible to get him to eat new foods. At this point he eating only oraganic, low suger, low phenol, no dyes and we are moving towards the SCD but I fear he will lose weight. I have tried several times to take foods I don't want him to eat away and on about day three of having a child that can hardly even sit up I give in. I know people say a child will not starve themselves but I guess my question is how close should they get to starving before you give them something they will eat.

I think it was the OATS test that showed yeast. Can anyone confirm this?

Oh, we also did an ION profile test from Metametrix lab with Dr. Neubrander a long time ago. Was quite expensive test...like about $1000. Gave a complete nutritional profile of our child showing vit/min deficiencies and yeast overgrowth. Think I remember it being a blood draw.

I'm thinking the previous post was correct and it may be due to an iron deficiency. Thanks to the person who posted that.

My son was also very thin/underweight and enzymes helped him gain and made him a tiny bit less picky. We are planning on starting the SCD diet soon.

Re: Christel: odd toenails here too....

We just started SCD with my son a little over a month ago. My littleguy was also very picky. I was really trying to mentally preparemyself for the possibility that he might not eat for a few days. Wewrote social stories for him explaining that there would be a new dietand listed some of the foods that he would not be able to eat any more(all of the foods he loved), but then listed the ones that he would. And there's a little line in there about me being able to make "funfoods" for him using nut butter soon. I don't know if your son wouldbe able to comprehend that or not, but it might be worth a try if heis at all a visual learner. Oh...I should add that my son has never eaten so well in his life. Meats, veggies, eggs, yogurt. It's amazing. I take his lunch to himat school almost every day and the teachers there are just amazed athow he gobbles it down. Muffins made with butternut squash,

avocados,pecan butter, pumpkin pie spices and eggs. They're asking me forrecipes for their own kids. You might be surprised. And weight loss has occurred with us (3 lbs), but my son was 50 lbs at5 years. He had weight to lose. When i became concerned about it, Iposted on the pecanbread support group and was told that SCD helpspeople balance their weight. If they have weight to lose, they loseit. But, like your son, if they need to gain weight, they gain. Eventhough my son has lost weight, I've never been more sure that he isgetting much needed nutrients. best of luck!Kari mb12 valtrex@ yahoogroups. com, lopezfamriv@ ... wrote:>> We have not tried Stan's diet because my son is three and isextremly low > weight.

sorry to jump in but my son has concave nails too so this really

caught my attention. I looked it up on wikipedia

Koilonychia is a nail disease that can be a sign of iron-deficiency

anemia.[1] Koilonychia literally means " spoon nails. " It refers to

nails (usually of the hand) which have lost their convexity, becoming

flat or even concave in shape. In a sense, koilonychia is the opposite

of nail clubbing.

Koilonychia is associated with Plummer-Vinson syndrome.

The Plummer-Vinson syndrome, also called Paterson-Brown- syndrome

or sideropenic dysphagia is a disorder linked to severe, long-term

iron deficiency anemia, which causes swallowing difficulty (dysphagia)

due to web-like membranes of tissue growing in the throat (esophageal

webs). P-VS sufferers often complain of a burning sensation with the

tongue and oral mucosa, and atrophy of lingual papillae produces a

smooth, shiny red tongue dorsum. The cause of Plummer-Vinson syndrome

is unknown; however, genetic factors and nutritional deficiencies may

play a role. Women are at higher risk than men, particularly in middle

age. In these patients, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma risk is

increased; therefore, it is considered a premalignant process.

my son has recently begun having swallowing trouble which I assume was

due to sensory issues. I've avoided iron supplementation in the last

while because we have a family history of hemochromotosis. But now I

am officially freaked out.
