Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I am hardly an expert but here is what I know: Bloodtest: there is a bloodtest that tests for this. The DANs use it. I think it is a debateable thing between mainstreamers and DANs though not sure. It was never discussed at my mainstream appts so I do not know. Poop: Our GI is testing for yeast in stool but told me if it is there they'd simply note it. I believe the DAN stool test for metals checks yeast but am not sure. Dr. Ash, in NY, an environmental medince specialist, MD, not a DAN but a doc who uses pharmaceuticals and nutriceuticals to treat patients says that yeast, while it does not cause underlying conditions involving the brain, can exacerbate them. He was referring to MS when I heard him speak of this but said it related to other matters. I believe he only treats adults and not autistics. He mentioned MS saying that the yeast can actually mess wih immune function as the body is so busy fighting yeast that it can't get to everything. I was unaware until the yeast debate here that this was some sort of controversial subject. I have read that yeast can pronounce autism symptoms etc. I don't know about that in my own life. What I do know is that I have had yeast issues for 30 years. When the yeast is treated I feel better. I had a particularly bad yeast problem during two years of what was then called IBS but may in fact have been an intestinal parasite. Concerntration and headach difficulties prevailed. Once treated with Flagyl my life changed for the better. If that is anything like what some of these kids have I pity them. It was awful. I think 's off board MD mentioned institutional reading about this so you could try that. To be honest, I am not so sure we hhave big yeast problems in my house. Can't say for sure. I hope the tests can give us some insight as my guessing about all things medical makes me nervous. Good luck ! > > How is it that you detect yeast. I have heard of some blood test and I have also heard of checking the stool.(poop) For those of you whose child tested positive and did the antifungal thing what test did you do?

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 , Is he on a probiotic? My son was exposed to Macrobid in utero A LOT because of strep B. Then at 5 mos he was on IV antibiotic. He had antibiotic three other times. After GFCFSF I finally put him on a probiotic. I am still not exactly doing it right (I think you are supposed to do it at night). All I can say is he is really progressing. I am not saying the probiotic is the ticket as I think it is a combination of things and while there seemed to be an initial period of yeast dieoff it never seemed so bad that I should treat it. As time goes on he seems to get better and better so I am happy I did not run to treat it. Just a thougght. Liz > > > > How is it that you detect yeast.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 My baby had a stool test done by a family practice doctor who follows the DAN protocol. The test looked at tons of different things, and there were a number of indicators that suggested a problem with yeast. This is not a test done by mainstream doctors, so you won't have any luck with your regular pediatrician. Many parents can tell when their child is suffering from yeast based on stool observations, behavior, etc. If you check out this link, http://www.danasview.net/yeast.htm , you will find a lot of very helpful information about yeast diagnosis, testing and treatment. FYI -- my baby was in the NICU briefly when he was born one month prematurely, and he was given heavy-duty antibiotics due to fever. in NJ > > How is it that you detect yeast.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 My regular pediatrician ran the stool test on our daughter, but she was on provalactic antibiotics for kidney reflux We also bought probiotics at GNC and she was also having rashes from the antibiotics.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 See, I now wonder, yet again, about yeast in my son who had IV antibiotics at 5 mos. The diet is certainly allowing stuff to come out. I am not killing myself worrying about yeast feeding because things are going well and there is little sugar in his diet. The probiotic is helping move things out as is RDA calcium which I still do not give daily as I fear it would pull too much out. He seems to be a fluoride kid. Stool test pends. I am hoping we are getting the same stool test. Is it the one from Great Plains? Since the probiotic the only yeast sign I see is the constant taking off of diaper and sort of playing with himself. What is wierd is before probiotic I had none of this. Yes, I know that means a likely internal yeast problem and I am happy with the probiotic. I am just fearful of treating everything so I am leaving the yeast alone and things are progressing. I imagine if more signs pop up I may have to treat it but am loathe to do it now, particularly since GSE is not an option. Any thoughts on this approach? Slow and steady is the goal. Just don't know if I am being respnsible. > > > > How is it that you detect yeast.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 and All, Note that there is yeast and there are also parasites. Parasites are cyclical and tend to 'act up' in the full moon. Mark's constipation came back for a brief moment the other day and he indicated that he felt yeasty in his crotch (or jock itch). I looked at the sky and saw that moon and thought hmmm...... I had always noticed that the 'old' diarhea/constipation was very cyclical and would act up about every three weeks. Now that he knows the symptoms, I have a pretty good idea that he has a 'lurker' inside of that body. I won't bother testing as parasites are tricky to detect and you must 'catch' them at the right time or they won't show up in a stool test. I will just do a three week treatment. I pulled out the Paragone package and started to treat. I am going to get this 'stuff' out of my kids body if it's the last thing I do! Question: What are other good treatments for parasites: Olive leaf extract? I know that GSE is good for yeast, does it kill parasites too? Janice [ ] Re: How to detect yeast?

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Garlic is good for parasites. You can get it in capsule form. Also, lauricidin is a good all around product to get rid of yeast, bacteria and fungus in the gut. It comes in pellets and you can count them out for younger kids or take a scoop and swallow with water. I used to put them on top of apple sauce for my daughter and tell her to " swallow!' when she took a bite. If bitten, they taste soapy. Good for immune health as well. www.lauricidin.com Stephanee > > > > How is it that you detect yeast.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I don't think suitability is related to age. Some people tolerate or respond better to one probiotic than another. I would try kirkman's pro-bio gold (and their s. boulaardi too if you are fighting yeast) first. It is good, and less expensive than Klaire's therbiotics, VSL #3, etc. > > What is the best probiotic for 4 year old child? > > > > ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
