Yeast die off ??? please review our symptoms and advise!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I have been posting a lot over the past three weeks, since I have joined this

group, and I really appreciate all the responses and advise I got so far.

Tonight I have a bit of an update and a question about a concern I have about my

4-year-old with ASD.

He was crying and touching the inside his oral cavity, seemed really

uncomfortable or in pain and even wanted me to feel his mouth. I could not see

too much but the inside of his mouth felt kind of bumpy. I was wondering what

you all think this could be and how to help him. Here's what we have been doing

over the past couple weeks:

1. TD-DMSA 8 hrs doses, about three weeks ago

2. Noticed bad side effects (expanded on these in a prior email) and joined

this group only to find out that 4 hrs dosing is much safer and more efficient

3. Son slowly has calmed down over the next week...but the increase in some of

his symptoms lead some of you and me believe that something needs to be changed

(stacking, lining things up, screaming, spitting a lot)

4. Doubled Culturelle to help possible yeast issues 2 weeks ago.

5. removed TD Glutathione 6 days ago - observed for three days to see if it

helps. Son's spitting has decreased, he became much happier, more engaged,

better eye contact, much calmer, excellent problem solving, better receptive

language/following directions/better word approximations but

stimming/stacking/mania-like behaviors increasing!!

5. 4 days ago started giving Culturelle 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening

to help with possible yeast/BMs.

6. Per Dana's advice, I increased my yeast protocol. Started adding Yeast-Aid

from Kirkman's 1/2 capsule two times a day two and a half days ago. Even though

Yeast-Aid is a mix of many things, I had ordered a trial dose and started using

it for now.

7. BTW, son had no BMs for four days - but yesterday he finally had one,

looking normal. Today he had another one, so that's a good sign I think. All

the improvements continue to show but so do the stim/mania-like behaviors and

high pitched screaming. Also, he has been squeezing himself under our bodies,

between cusions like crazy!!

Why I am writing today mainly is because my son has been touching the inside

of his mouth more like the past 3-4 days... And today he really seemed to be in

pain. I could feel the bumps inside his mouth!! I could not see any white

coating inside the mouth though, just felt the bumps.

What do you think it could be from? Could it be a sign of yeast die-off as we

began Yeast-Aid just about 21/2 days ago? What can I do to help this issue to

make him more comfortable now, and on the long run?

FYI, Yeast-Aid contains the following:

olive leaf extract 200mg

pau d'arco extract 200 mg

goldenseal extract 100mg

caprilyc acid 100mg

biotin 900 mcg

vitamin c 500 mg

oregano 100 mg

cranberry extract 25 mg

and selenium 70 mcg

Please advise!! Thanks so much in advance!!

PS. I will be changing my email address specifically for the purposes of this

group to aedape4@... - so future emails may come from this address.
