Food sensitivity or flare up?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I just received feedback regarding my 7 year old's food and enviromental

sensitivites. In addtion we have confirmed she has a yeast overgrowth (score of

125 when normal max was 47) in the aribinose level from GP. For her food test,

the one high (score of 5 out of 5), was with egg whites. I understand this is

often very allergenic, but actually surprised a bit with this score. She

recently has been eating 3-4 fried egg whites every morning for breakfast and am

wondering if this may have actually triggered this high antibody reaction?

Last night, we were trying to stay away from the illegal foods for dinner, and

also through in a few more fried egg whites. She proceeded to have one of her

nutty melt downs, silly and grumpy jeykll/hyde like and a real pain. My

question is, does a reaction to food sensitivity/allergy look just like a yeast

flare up??? Everyone here has confirmed that her annoying silly/mad behavior is

definitley a yeast flare up, so that I can totally see. But sinse I never knew

she had a food issue, am wondering if seeing this behavior was either a yeast

related reaction to something else we gave her and didn't realize, or does food

issues look the same?

I was really hoping corn would be leagal as it turned out she is not allergic to

it at all. But do believe I have heard that for some kids it sets the yeast

off.

Thanks!

For my son, yes, certain foods would look like a yeast flare up, especially

phenols

Corn is a lutein [similar to a phenol for my son] so it would have set him off

like a phenol.
