Guest guest Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 Quick background: My 2 1/2 year old, non-autistic son's testing showed yeast, too much non-beneficial bacteria, and no bifid. in his intestine. Dr. rx'd. UltraFlora. After 15 months of chronic diarrhea (coinciding, BTW, with MMR plus 2 o/ vaccines) his stools started to be formed after a day or two of treatment. Their " quality " has been mixed, but more formed, than not. Question: this morning his room reeked of what I thought was vomit. Turned out to be his soiled diaper -- an overpowering cheesy, vomity smell. Whew!!! What we parents deal with! (More stars in that crown, ultimately, I say...) I'm kind of hoping this is yeast and non-beneficial bacterial die-off, and we've turned a significant corner, intestinally. Anyone have similar experience and can comment on what was going on? He's been on a GFCFSF diet for over a year (concerned he might end up with autism when diarrhea began after MMR) and now diet includes avoidance of anything that promotes yeast. But the dr. didn't recommend any anti-yeast treatments, per se. Didn't ask why; perhaps his young age? Any additional advice from anyone, including something to ask our dr? (Some sense of " urgency " here: I'm trying to start toilet training, but would like the stool issue resolved so we don't have " failures " as with my autistic son.) Thanks.
