Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Hello Everyone, I don't know if anyone here will have had any experience with this - but here it goes. I posted several days ago about going on an anti- candida diet, we are now on day 5 or so. We have been taking a very potent probiotic (Bio-K+) and have cut out starches, sugar, limited fruit, etc. Yesterday I saw some pretty severe reactions in the boys. My younger son Wyatt had a huge blowout in his diaper, then later a tarry, dark stool. His eyes got very puffy with dark circles under them about an hour before this occured.I am assuming this is yeast/bacterial die- off - I have read about similar syptoms. However, my older child Zach had the worst asthma attack he has had in 1 1/2 years last night. He was wheezing and very croupy. He was feverish all morning. I have not added anything to his diet (only taken things out) other than the probiotic. Has anyone here had an experience with asthma and yeast/bacteria die off? Also, my " gut " feeling on this (no Pun intended!) is that this is in fact a viral reaction or expulsion. I have often suspected a viral component for Zach, and I think his body may be cleansing and detoxifying some lingering virus. I have read that going on a anti- fungal/bacterial diet can sometimes also detox viruses. Zach seems to be stabilizing this afternoon, but nights are usually when his asthma is the worst. If anyone has experience they could share, or perhaps some links/reading, it would be appreciated. Best, Miti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
