Guest guest Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I have had my son othis diet for 2 months and am very happy so far, except one thing continues to frustrate me. Jake is " non-verbal " , but we do hear words rarely. When we started the diet we were hearing words daily, clear, intentional words. He was on a hunger strike for 9 days, that's when the verbal gains were seen. Once he surrendered to the diet, vocab. started to fade. I was so pleased he was eating, I hoped it would resurface. I have heard alot about yeast affecting language, also that honey is bad for yeast. I am wondering what other types of food encourage yeast growth. Jake is very self limiting and has sensory issues with food. This is what I am feeding him: custard(from btvc-modified-- apple/pear sauce to replace honey) ' yogurt-not as much since I have cut back on honey (3TBSP/day), butternut squash, white grape juice. and that's it, for now. Any suggestions on which foods might be encouraging yeast? He was showing signs of yeast before I cut back honey. We are down to 6 tsp/day and weaning. Thank you for any suggestions karla, mom to Jake 3 1/2 s.d, asd. scd 2 months 2 1/2 N.t _________________________________________________________________ Designer Mail isn't just fun to send, it's fun to receive.

In your case I think it is good to cut back on the honey until you get the yeast under control. The carrot and garlic juice seems to be very effective at getting yeast under control- But he may not go for it - it is pretty strong tasting. Can you use the apple/pears sauce to sweeten the yogurt. The yogurt should also help fighjt the yeast. You can try dripping the yogurt (if you aren't already) - that helps remove some of the tarness so you'll need less sweetener. Are you using prescription meds to fight yeast? If you try Nystatin you may need it compounded without sugar.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Hi Sheila, thanks for answering me. I have checked out the carrot juice recipe, no way I will be able to get any of that in...too bad. I havent approached our ped. re my yeast concerns. I dont feel he will take me very seroiusly, or that he is familiar with the problems yeast can cause. I have had some very negative experiences with md's. So , no we are not on any meds for yeast. I am trying to piece this all together myself. And if at all possible, solve it with dietary intervention. IF it is even the cause at all. We do drip the yogurt and I have added the apple sauce. He is a tough customer!! I might try the carrot juice anyways, is it possible to make without a juicer?

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Hi Karla, I don't think you could make it effectively without a juicer. You may be able to get one fairly cheaply -Walmart(?)(but the cheaper you go I expect there'll be more pulp in the juice - which you may need to strain out at the beginning of the diet while still having trouble) Sheila, SCD 49 mos, 20 yrs UC mom of , SCD 34 mos > I might try the carrot juice anyways, is it possible to make without a > juicer?

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hi Karla, My parents gave us a juicer and grill for Christmas. It was a combo pack from Walmart. Both came for the price of one. The juicer is called (hang on a second...*puff, puff* running back to the computer... " ) " The Juiceman, professional series, 210 " . It's quick and cleans up pretty easily.
