Strange Symptoms with my 4 YO

December 22, 2003

Hello Everyone,

I saw some really strange symptoms with my 4 year old last night.He

has been on the verge of getting a cold, though his homeopathic

remedy is keeping the cold at bay.So this could have been a viral

response (Zach tends to regress when sick).I could tell he was more

tired than usual last evening, and also couldn't eat his dinner b/c

he was complaining of a " rash " - he had an external mild redness

around his cheeks and mouth, but we think he also must have had a

sore inside his mouth as well.We put him to bed, and within a couple

of ours he was moaning a lot. He was hot (not fever but sweating),

so I put him in our bed.By 2:30 am I had not slept a wink - Zach was

constantly thrashing around, twitching a lot, he wet the bed a

couple of times (he usually sleeps thru without wetting).And I could

tell his stomach was hurting him - it was tight and gassy. I finally

put him back in his own bed (just to get a little sleep!) and he

seemed to settle down. He seems OK this morning though his lips are

very red.As far as I know, he didn't have anything different to eat

that he hasn't had before. THe only other thing I can think of is

that we put some Eucalyptus essential oils in his bath (a little

vapor for the cold!), but have used this before without any

problems....it's hard to tell what the problem was, really!

I have also started GSE with both boys (2 drops with 1/2 cap No-

Fenol at breakfast), so could this be yeast die off? Except that he

went all day without exhibiting any syptoms. I have also been having

some problems with the enzymes with my 28 month old Wyatt, so

perhaps we are starting to see problems with Zach? But I didn't give

Zach any enzymes at dinner.When Wyatt gets a whole cap of either

Zyme-Prime or Similase, he gets a pretty bad red, scaly ( " chapped "

rash) on his face. Sometimes he also gets mouth sores.

I didn't give any GSE this morning, as I was a little nervous with

having these strange syptoms.

The other thing is that I have started yogurt the last 1-2 weeks.

The boys seem to be tolerating OK, and I have actually noticed an

improvement in Wyatt's stools (they have been formed for 3 days

now!).

Anyway, just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this.Both on

Zach and Wyatt's apparent reaction to the enzymes...

Best,

Miti
