B6, yeast, stools, probiotic - ???

[Guest guest]

After 2 weeks on B6 my son developed loose stools. At first these seemed to

be detox but they've changed to just being very loose & watery. Only once a

day. I suspect he has a problem with yeast, and I've read the B vits can

cause problems in yeast sensitive people, so I am looking for a B6 without

yeast for him. The one I got is " no added yeast " but I understand it was

probably sourced from yeast.

The night before last he had a yeasty-looking rash. I left him naked most

of today & it is almost completely gone.

I gave him a dairy-free probiotic tonight. I gave him the probiotic at 7,

with the B6 & his other vitamins.

At 11:30 he had a BM that was not at all watery. It was still very soft but

it is by far the most normal stool he's had in over a week.

Could the probiotic possibly have affected him so quickly??? Or was this

just coincidence? Maybe the stools aren't from the B6 after all?

Confused,

-Sara.

p.s. the benefits of the B6 have been such that I am not willing to

discontinue it. They far outweigh having one loose BM daily, especially if

we can treat that through other means such as changing brands & adding other

supplements. I had planned to treat him for yeast anyway but was wanting to

establish the B6 & it's benefits for him first, before trying something else

new.

So far as I have read, B6 can *feed* yeast. I don't know if the

problem is that it would be sourced from yeast, or contain yeast.

Yes

They work that quickly on . I would keep on with the probiotic and see if

things continue to improve. Like you, I wouldn't want to give up the B6,

especially when you see great results from it.

Wow, I had no idea it would make that kind of difference that fast.

Amazing. I guess yeast is the culprit then & I will thoroughly dose him up

on the probiotic.

He is already grain and dairy free. His carb sources are potatoes and

fruit, and he does not eat tons of them. His diet is pretty limited & I

hesitate to limit it more, but I am reading about phenols and most of the

fruits & vegs he eats are high......one thing at a time I guess, if we get

good results with the probiotic......?

Thanks very much for the replies.
