Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 , What you are writing is sort of self-contradictory. If yeast is the true culprit then the Diflucan and Nystatin would have helped, not made things worse. Are you certain he doesn't have clostridia? I am not at all arguing with the fact that something is going on. I'm sure your right about that part. Moms are usually right. But I am just questionning whether it is actually yeast. Have you tried yogurt yet? As for the theory that you are referring to. I know that we had tried that method and it didn't work for us. I personally think that science is on the side of SCD. But let's see if we can't figure out what's causing your son so much trouble. Can you tell us exactly what he's eating now?

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 hi jody!! i know that the anti-fungals are supposed to take care of the yeast, but it seems that their efficacy wears off at the end of the treatment? the reason i think it's yeast is that he has classic symptoms of over growth: itchy genitals, fussy/odd behaviors, acts intoxicated. here is what we feed jake: 1 1/2 banana a day 2.5 cups pearsauce 1 cup carrots 1 cup green beans 1/2 avocado 1 tbsp cashew butter proper dosing for custom probiotics twice a day protein: 1 1/2 cup of chopped chicken or turkey a day roasted turkey marinated chicken: pineapple juice, vinegar, lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano i think we have been very careful, and that everything is on stage 2 or lower. we still do not have firm poops(not even close!!), just odd behaviors and regressions in development when not on the anti- fungals. as soon as we stop the anti-fungals, things go NUTS!!! thanks again for all the help!! shannon. > > , > > What you are writing is sort of self-contradictory.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 So, while he is on antifungals things are better? Are the stools normal while on antifungals? Has he been tested for clostridia? I just know that at the last DAN! conference Dr. McCandless and Dr. Kartzinel discussed concurrent treatment for clostrida and yeast.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 , Just jumping in here..... This seems like a LOT of pearsauce. Is there any way you could increase the amounts of the veggies and reduce the amount of pearsauce? What about spinich? Have you ever tried introducing that? Should be easy to digest for him at this point. (Would he eat it?? ) Can he not tolerate eggs? Your CP is just the acidophilus alone, right?

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 hi patti!! thanks for the help!! jake is allergic to eggs, as well as apples. i have tried introducing spinach, but the taste is so strong, he bawlks. we have tried reducing the amount of pearsauce, but there is a point when he refuses(this is when we are 1/2 pearsauce & 1/2 other purees). we have tried this several times. i feel like i have tried every trick in the book. he is just beginning to use simple words, but does not understand logic or reason. i didn't think that we really needed to limit quantity. we have tried really hard to balance his diet using only stage 1 & 2 foods that he can use. hopefully his OT will be able to work on this. shannon. > , > Just jumping in here..... > This seems like a LOT of pearsauce.
