My daughter is currently in the middle of round 66 and I thought (and hoped) yeast was behind us as I had not seen any signs for several rounds. Wrong! This round the yeast has re-reared its ugly head and so back on all antifungals again. I am hoping this means we hit a mercury!

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 How does everyone get all these supplements in? My 18 month old is big on refusing everything! I'm also concerned because her skin is looking red and irritated on her arms and legs--not quite like eczema but maybe. I am wondering if her being yeasty is linked to this. Also--we stopped the omega-3 fatty acids and I think this is related to her dry skin and hair but she seems like she can't tolerate them well, plus can't get her to take them! Also, I was using DHA nordic naturals strawberry flavored and I think the strawberry might have bothered her but the doctor really wanted her to have the DHA. Any suggestions? Lastly--does this get less overwhelming??? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Re: Digest Number 4207 How does everyone get all these supplements in? My 18 month old is big on refusing everything! ----Oral syringe. Early on we decided that if it was something like insulin we would find a way to get it into her and we believed many of the supplements were and are 'that' important. The first few months of that method really were rotten (she was about 2 when we started) but we stuck with doing it twice a day. She is 3.5 now and accepts it as a regular part of her day in part I think because she 'knows' how much all the gunk is helping her/has helped her. We made a point to always tell her exactly why she 'had' to do it and that we wouldn't ask it of her unless it was really important and that she was really really brave and strong to do it (even when she was howling). Pretty early on in the process I also made up a " yucky vitamins " song that she loved and that helped. Also she ALWAYS gets an after vitamins snack and usually that means she gets dessert BEFORE dinner which she thinks is really sneaky (not that I would be giving dessert every night otherwise that's for sure; but the gunk IS yucky) Any suggestions? --Get a capsule that doesn't have the flavorings, prick it with a pin and administer it w/oral syringe (or mix it into something she is willing to eat). Or give the other one with No Fenol and see if it helps Lastly--does this get less overwhelming??? --Yes, totally. But I think honestly it never runs on autopilot if that makes sense. You master something and then there is something else to understand/troubleshoot keep track of. But the payoff is phenomenal and soooooo worth it. You're in the right place!!! Thanks!

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Hi All, I haven't been to this site for awhile. I hope everyone is doing well. I have a quick question. Have any of you found wellbutrin, paxil, prozac or anything to help counteract the mood swings that you get with prednisone. My son Hunt is having so many troubles with this. It is hard for him to maintain relationships. He just seems to be angry all the time. thanks for any help you can give Rosemary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Hi Rosemary, I have suffered from situational depression since 1994 when I was 23. I started on Buspar, but that didn't do a darn thing. I went back to the doctor and started me on Paxil which I was on until 2005. I learned to know how I was feeling and my doctor worked with me raising and lowering the dosages that I needed for the anger, anxiety , and feelings of worthlessness that I would go through. He eventually gave my Xanax which I use on very rare occasions (because it can be habit forming) when I am extremely nervous and start ringing my hands and crying for no reason. I am currently taking Cymbalta which is in the same family as Paxil but stringer. I was at 60mg one time daily, but just recently he increased it to 90mg daily. I'm going through a really hard time right not and not really sure why. Hopefuly this helps you. AIH 1 year -- Re: [ ] Digest Number 4207 Hi All, I haven't been to this site for awhile.
