Re: ?? about yeast and illness

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

My daughter was never sick either. Just as you said, a little

sniffle here and there. Oh yeah, and she threw up once.

I remember reading that autistic kids' immune systems may be " fully

charged " all the time, trying to deal with what's going on in their

bodies, and I think that may be the case with my .

Because although I'm still unclear about yeast, when our holistic

practitioner did a stool sample analysis for , she was found to

have a HUGE overgrowth of a nasty bacteria (citrobacter freundii).

So if her body was fighting that all the time ...

Anyway, I don't KNOW if it's true, just remember reading it.

Ian's had significant yeast issues while being good height, good weight, seldom

a cold.

You can do a stool analysis with parasitology X3 from Doctor's Data, and an

Organic Acids Test from Great Plains.

?? about yeast and illness

Good morning,

My pediatrician did a yeast culture/sensitivity for my son this past

fall and it came back normal. She was reluctant to even do the test

because she said that kids with yeast issues were always sickly, and

my son is not.

Is there any truth to this? If my son had a yeast overgrowth, would

it cause noticeable health problems? I'm certain that my son has a

problem with yeast because of his behaviors, chronic diarrhea, and

food choices, but he's a very healthy kid. He's only had

antibiotics a couple times and that was at least 2 years ago, he's

never ill other than the occasional sniffle, and he is of normal

weight and height (though I tend to think he's a little on the

skinny side).

Thanks for any advice on this subject.

Hi I know this is OT but just wanted to add that Dr. McCandless and

other reading I've done told me that the tests may show false

negatives so it is not a definite answer to what is going on. Just

thought I'd throw that in to further confuse us! Have a blessed New

year!

Both my kids have yeast overgrowths (and bacteria) as evidenced by

urinary OATs and by the fact that they respond to treatments like

antifungals and SCD.

However, neither is particularly a sickly child. My 8yo n/t

daughter had lots of antibiotics as a toddler, but my ASD son had

almost none. He has yeast problems too.

AND yeast has never shown in the stool tests of either child... I

think it is up higher in the digestive tract, or maybe somewhere

else in the body...

I like the OATs (metametrix or Great Plains), or just try some

antifungals (GSE, Uva Ursi, Caprylic Acid, etc) and see what

happens.
