It's nearly impossible to get rid of all yeast. You would have to

follow an unbelievable strict diet, and one infraction would be a major

setback. Also, I'm not sure that's the ideal, because that might lead

to overgrowth of some bacterias, right? To greatly reduce yeast, a

combination of diet, probiotics, enzymes, natural remedies, and

prescription medicines is the way to go.

Refreshing post . We are transitioning into a sort of SCD for my

daughter to address coloitis. I do want to put as much variety as I

can in and I am still figuring out my approach because of what you

said. I have seen on other boards where someone goes GFCF on a

birthday after being SCD the kid pays for it bigtime. That can''t be

good. Also, my kids were, all along, mildly affected. I had to act to

prevent them from growing into something far worse but overreaction

has its issues as well. I am about to read the rotation book, Is this

Your Child. I am starting to think that, aside from gluten and dairy

which are genuine issues at this time, rotation of it all, including

probiotics and vitamins, is key. You can't hit a moving target.

We could never do anything that strict here. What would be the

point? While does have his issues, he's doing great in

kindergarten as is. I'm fine with slow progress, as long as there IS

progress.

As an aside, you really forget how much food is a part of our lives

until you have something that gets in the way. I just got my first

set of Invisalign to fix these gaps that have developed between my

back teeth (due to excessive grinding). I have to take the aligners

our to eat or drink (except water), then brush and floss before

putting them back in. Since all that is a pain in the neck, I am

only doing it three times a day. Now I realize how often I was

eating before: every time the kids had a meal or snack I'd " clean "

their plates, samples in the grocery store, cake at a kid's birthday

party, even the communion host at Mass. Sometimes, it seems that

people are offering food all day long. It's annoying as an adult,

but sooooo hard for the little guys to have to be excluded. They're

serving ice cream at the kids' school today for Catholic Schools

Week, and I gave permission to indulge and told the nurse to

double his enzyme dose. I figured how bad could it be? He's been a

real champ doing his NACD program and TLP, etc. He deserves a treat,

and sometimes you just have to live life.

I hear you but this colitis thing is a real concern and I am getting

no GI guidance on a better route. Homeschooling will help and

honestly SCD is no worse than our current version of GFCFSF.

has zero school issues but her physical issues are the

paramount concern. I started this journey to address her brother's

speech but we have found that she is the one with more paramount

physical issues that need attention. I am no longer worried about

him. The articulation, crossing the midline, etc. will come. My kids

eat so much more than before and my daughter actually prefers the

dessert subs so we are OK for now. I am saving enzymes, etc. for when

she just can't stand the deprivation or when the doc helps me,

whichever comes first. As for my son, he will eat anything you offer

him which has sped up his physical recovery immensely.

[Guest guest]

Yeah, I wouldn't mess around with colitis. I was speaking more to the

diet-to-improve-delays approach. I wish I could pull off a trial of

SCD, as I really believe it is a healthy diet. When we first went

GFCF, my kids were eating lots of new foods and eating lots of

popsicles to substitute for the usual snack foods. I swear the moment

I discovered a workable rice pasta, they instantly hated most

vegetables again. At the time, I thought the novelty had worn off, but

I do occasionally wonder if it was the introduction of bad carbs. We

also did GFCF waffles around the same time.

[Guest guest]

SCD still concerns me. I need to talk to the GI about this thing. I

think it would be a good thing but I need to know if we do it 1/2 way

til the end of the schoolyear will that harm her. I know with GFCF some

folks do it part way and the GI said that could be harmful.

With the rice I think it may have just filled them and why go for

veggies when you can fill up on that. Those waffles had to go in our

house. The aluminum was a real issue.

Liz - lauricidin (www.lauricidin.com) is supposed to be good for

colitis. It comes in little pellets that are easy to swallow. My

daughter was on it for almost a year when she was 3 yrs old. You

could also try it yourself to see how it works on you.

Unfortunately the drugs out there for colitis only work on symptoms,

not the actual problem.

hang in!

I think SCD is too extreme and we only have clinical signs. I am not

scoping because the fluoride issue. Truth is I think in her it is

just tweeking that is needed. I will follow up with this and more

with the GI.

Can anyone answer this? I am looking into the gluten free diet I have gone

back and forth with this, but my son had a terrible reaction to too much gluten

and I must do this. His butt got all red and was bleeding, I just cannot

see him this way, I didn't think it could be from too much pizza but I was

wrong. I feel like a dope, but I guess I was just in denial that this was really

a problem for my son and I didn't want to deprive him of what he loved, but

it is for the best, I just have to try this but I am confused? I have seen

gluten free pizza crust mixes and they come with a packet of yeast? Isn't this

part of the problem? I know wheat flour and a few others are no no's. Also,

how do you tell if you have to eliminate dairy? I also need a good

multivitamin if anyone knows one, a liquid that is gentle to the stomach, it

seems like

all the ones I have tried make my son seem so gassy. Thanks

I had said is there any way to remove all yeast, I guess what I meant was

someone once said you have to get rid of all the yeast to get rid of a yeast

infection. My son had that diaper rash that was related to yeast, I guess I

thought that also applied, that you had to get rid of all the yeast, but now

that I think about it, I guess that would be impossible. Jen

[Guest guest]

It may not be the gluten in the pizza but the cheese or the tomatoe.

In my celiac daughter tomatoe did that. In my gluten sensitive son

gluten did that. Actually neither of my kids can tolerate pizza, even

gfcf.

I would not go running to GF diet. It is inconvenient and to stay on

it longhaul you need to know it is definitely warranted. Look at the

TACA website and see about the stepdown type of diet. Have you gotten

the labs Dr. outlined. Those before you start a diet can help

guide you. Yeast is a problem as are most fake pizza ingredients.

As for a multi, a 1/4 dose of childrens essence works for us. There

are others like behavior balance. Behavior balance splits the

minerals which is good. I never do full dose of anything. My kids are

pretty tame so why add extras they do not need.

Gassy may mean other issues. You really should consider the labs. My

2 cents anyway.

Yes, if you have a problem with yeast, then yeast in the diet in any

form may be a problem. That is why we have gone with the GF/CF

version of Bob's Red Mill Cornbread Mix as our pizza crust. It

really does turn out well (use half the mix for one crust) - and no

yeast.

Answer re: dairy - some people just try eliminating dairy and see if

they see a clinical change in the child. For us, we had a positive

allergy skin prick test for dairy (as well as egg, soy, wheat,

peanut and molds). We also have the genetic profile for gluten

senstitivity. I guess the answer will be different for different

people. Since finding the above with testing, we've also identified

chocolate and peas as a problem for my son by doing single food

elimination/challenge.

[Guest guest]

I agree, for my household, SCD was too extreme and limiting, and

before anyone gets offended, pls note that my kids did not do well

on many types of nuts.

Re: Millen - do you mean Millet or did I do a typo and you found

something amazing??

If it is Millet - we had a wonderful Millet/Rice spiral pasta

tonight. This is one of the best tasting GF pastas I've tried. It

was Orgran brand. Wonderful -I'm going to see if they make it in a

spaghetti style.

GFCF diets are not just about yeast. There are a lot of different

reasons why you might want to go gluten-free: gluten intolerance,

allergy to one or more gluten-containing grains, the " opioid " effect,

and maybe a yeast problem. Gluten intolerance can look different in

different people. Some get GI issues, some get eczema and other skin

rashes, there can be behaviorial problems, etc. The bottom line is

that you can have a gluten problem without having a yeast problem.

Someone else can speak to why you may or may not want to eliminate

yeast foods themselves. In my (uneducated) opinion, that's only for

the biggest yeast problems. LOTS of things feed yeast, so if that is

your main problem there are additional things to eliminate.

What is your main problem? Aah, that is the question for all of us.

It's trial and error.

To successfully implement the diet, it is often helpful to try

substitute products for the " mandatory " foods in your child's diet,

which sounds like pizza for you. I would caution you to avoid going

all-out with the substitutes, though. Many are not at all

nutritious. GF does not = healthy. Also, many taste fake and won't

pass muster anyway. You will probably find more success trying to

introduce more normal, GF foods. For example: more fruits and

veggies, meat (if you eat it), and beans. Avoid increasing dairy and

soy, as those might be on your elimination list at some point, and

also avoid increasing sugar and high-glycemic index foods like

potatoes, etc. I think for a lot of kids, it's not all gluten that

is the problem. It's the imbalance in their diets: all gluten,

dairy, and starch, with few fruits, no veggies, and mostly processed

meats.

And don't by any means interpret this to mean that we are all

following this perfectly. We do the best we can, which is way better

than a lot of people out there. My husband's away all week and I

took the kids to Burger King for dinner. There is no diet where that

is a good choice.

The files have lots of good information on the diets. Check them out

and post more questions. There are a lot of people here who have

tried the diet and/or are on it now.

RE: It's the imbalance in their diets: all gluten,

I still wonder if this is not a big part of what we saw and it just

got worse over time.

I did read " Feast without Yeast " and it has dawned on me that in both

kids yeast has been a big issue all along. I am going to address it

hard core for now and I do hope that it is not our beast for life.

Having had yeast stuff my whole life I cannot let my kids suffer as I

now realize they likely have been. I did have a clue before reading

this and the introduction of unrefined coconut oil in diet showed far

too much progress for yeast to not have been an issue. Still, it is

not our only beast so I have to be careful.

Also, if anyone can help me with thge whole probiotic issue. Ours

drummed up a yeast issue. Is this good or bad. I feel as though I am

chasing my tail. I thought I introduced it when the gut was healed.

Now what?

Exactly. We have the nut/mold thing going on. It was a typo. Rice is

a problem here unfortunately. Always has been for my boy...firece

poop immediately. For daughter it is constipation. We are almost SCD

by default but once we attack yeast who knows.

So corn is not a yeast thing. I ws crushed reading Feast Without

Yeast that corn seemed contraindicated. We do see in daughter

problems with cornchips when she eats them so we stopped. We cut back

on the pancake mix with corn and when we did this stuff she started

eating poultry. We were excited until again I read cornfed meat is

not great for yeast. I would not be so concerned but she has trouble

pooping with those meals and it stinks! I will get the allergy test

as she is older and it should come up. More challenges to do. Much as

I love that book it was discouraging. Still, at least there are

recipes for foods we can eat and I am looking into new flours.

Probiotics are like any other supplement - some work wonders with some

kids and others aren't well tolerated. You'll have to play with them

and go slow. Culturelle was awful for us - it caused worse poop than

we already had. ProBioGold didn't do much for us either way.

Kirkman's was ok, didn't see much change either way.

Jarrow has always been a good one around here (I've used the caps as

well as the powder) and am now using their YumYum dophilus. Downside

is it is considered a low dose (1 billion per 2 tablets - Jepson wants

us in the 10-20 billion range). Wouldn't you know, I was on the phone

with them today and forgot to ask which probiotic they recommend.

Ditto with enzymes - they work to make sure all food is digested in

the gut to keep yeast down. Nothing like a bunch of undigested food

fermenting in the gut to feed yeast...nasty thought, huh?

Will post their recommendations when I get them.

Hang in there!

Corn is often a trouble-maker. Genetically modified is an obvious problem.

Even organic corn can be a big offender though. Many have allergies,

sensitivities and/or secondary metabolism (reaction to the break-down products

of the

food) problems. It is probably as wide-spread a problem as is wheat and

gluten for so many. Its also problematic in that it is quite a ubiquitous

molecule. Watch for it in powders, skin products, etc. where you dont realize

its

hiding. In my experience, its a problem for at least 80% of those with gut

dysbiosis, multiple chemical sensitivities, and for many who are just feeling

sick

and tired...

Most non-organic corn is GMO. You might get a different reaction

Ughhh. From this post string and from a local mom today I'm

learning that I probably shouldn't be feeding him corn. I said

recently that if I had to cut out corn I would scream. Well, I

guess everyone should hold their ears because here it comes.

I just ordered Feast Without Yeast and An Extraordinary Power to

Heal (by the same author, Bruce Semon) and haven't yet received my

copies, so when I wrote the below I didn't know that I was going to

learn that corn needs to be out. This kid is going to be living on

fried potatoes only pretty soon. PLEASE don't anyone tell me

potatoes are out!

Actually, just this week, it appears another fog is lifting for

him. He is actually trying foods that he normally wouldn't even

entertain the thought of putting in his mouth. Of course, some of

them came right back out of his mouth, but some didn't. There is

hope.

I AM PRETTY SURE POTATOES ARE GOOD. oNE OF THE THINGS i NOTICED

BEFORE ALL OF THIS IN MY nt KID, WHO IS TYPICALLY CONSTIPATED IS THAT

SHE, LIKE ME, POOPS SHORTLY AFTER INGESTING CORN CHIPS. tHE POOP IS

SLOW IN COMING OUT AND A BEIGE/ORANGE COLOR. (Soory capslock) and

with Chicken the poop is a similar color and smell. Also, as a

younger child we had diaper rash with fruit containing citric

acid...likely derived from corn. Then there is the fact that as a

little one, on the rare occasions when she would pass gas she would

say...hot poopy. I take it that it burned and I think in her case

that was yeast as she was not eating cheesesteaks and greasy foods. I

was pretty strict with the diet.

This is gross, not intended to be offensive, just infornational. The

more I talk poop and other gross topics on this board with other moms

I find new stuff. Hoping this is of value to someone.

Potatoes can be problematic, but it isnt nearly as likely as corn.

Each of us has a unique biology. I recommend a plant based diet,(see

The China Study) thus we dont have to use any of the mixes,

cornstarches, etc. Just make veggies lightly steamed, perhaps some

olive oil or clarified buttter, some 'superfood' herbs to season

(rosemary, ginger and tumeric). Call it a meal. To help with fish

oil supplementation, have them eat salmon 2x/week. Once they get

really hungry, the salmon gets scarfed down and we dont have to worry

about those supplements as much. This of course is generalized, and

our kids are not to be put into any general categories.

I am doing this with Mark as well. Outside of bread for school lunches of which

I ensure is 100% wheat or grains, he eats very few carbs or processed foods.

Fruits & veggies and meats are our staples for the most part. Dinner is really

'easy' to cook and the kids eat it right up, amazingly enough!

We do cheat and have pizza nights or some other 'special' night on the weekend

for my kids don't even realize that they are on a special diet! I just stopped

buying and making, rice, and potatoes. Pasta is tricky for my daughter still

wants it but it makes Mark feel ill so he doesn't eat it at all. We rarely

purchase any processed food anymore and the kids don't notice it all that much.

I don't make a fuss when we are out and the kids have starches but for the most

part, I just avoid them. Period. My family is a lot healthier for it. Of

course, this did not happen overnight and I slowly have weined them off.....

So.... we are not on any diet 'officially' but unofficially, we eat a little

organic whole grain bread, fresh fruits & veggies, meat & a lot of nuts! My son

is so much healthier for it and my NT daughter is too.....

In my family we have 'gone back to nature' and eat a very natural diet back to

the times where man ate berries, nuts, seeds, meat, and veggies. Primitive man

never had a weight problem! (Of course, no one in the family knows this but

me.... I keep it a secret!)
