yeast fight success stories

[Guest guest]

Tara - try adding Zinc. Give it some time to work

but you should see a willingness to try new foods and/or less resistance to

texture. I found that if I worked on adding new things in first, then I

could slowly remove the things I didn’t want him to eat. When I

tried it the other way around, he was hungry and rejected more food.

Reducing the sugars is just plain old difficult b/c they are craving the foods

to feed the yeast. Watering down juices to fade them out and lessening

the amount of sugary foods is where to start. Also, pound in those

probiotics (without strep bacteria in them) at least 2 hours after you give the

antifungal; usually after meal and before bed time. We used rewards in

the beginning to try new foods. A parent once told me that she attended a

feeding clinic where they said that a child has to see/taste a food for 21 days

before they don’t view it as new anymore. This was true when

I was working on my son eating carrots. We had them every night (yikes)

for a month and he began to eat them. I started with just ½ a

carrot, then worked up to a whole one, then several, and so on. Lots of

praise and rewards. You will get there but the zinc really helped after a

few months.

We also had a non-reaction to Nystatin. Try to move to

another antifungal, Diflucan, etc. and rotate them.

Hi All,

I have been following this discussion faithfully. I recently joined and have an

almost four year-old boy with severe apraxia and pdd-nos. He was on a course of

nystatin that didn't do much. We have had his stool tested twice - first time

it came back with dysbiotic flora and some substantial beneficial flora. We

then retested him about ten months later he only had the lactobacillus spp for

beneficial flora and e coli and strep imbalances (no dysbiotic flora). We

haven't done the urine test yet b/c we're having a difficult time collecting a

sample.

I know yeast is an issue for my little one, but he is SO picky about his food.

All he eats is french toast, pb & j, pearsauce, pasta with veggie chips,

potato chips, anything crunchy for snacks. It's all GFCF, but he always has

jelly and pb on french toast and sandwich for lunch. I have no idea how to

change his diet and get him to eat better as well as working on the yeast

beast. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks so much,

Tara
