Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 If it were me I wouldn't. I'd be happy that maybe the GSE seems to have worked. You did say grapeseed, and not grapefruit seed... Same as if your son recovered from an infection on his own, you wouldn't then give antibiotics when he doesn't need them.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Sorry, Mark, I disagree. I don't think antibiotics and enzyme-based yeast fighters like Candex are quite the same. , are you chelating? If you are (or plan to), you'll probably need an ongoing, day-to-day plan to fight yeast. I would definitely consider (very slowly) adding in Candex to your regular yeast protocol. It is effective, and doesn't seem to affect good flora already established in the gut via probiotics, etc.. Many people use it long-term with very good results, though a number do need to bring in more aggessive measures when yeast gets out of hand. Having said all that, my son gets diarrhea from Candex, at least for now. It came on quite quickly after several months of regular use, so I'm unsure what the trigger was. I asked onlist if anyone else had ever had this happen, and no one said that they had. I also checked Autism Mercury's huge archives, and didn't find any other references to a Candex-diarrhea connection. I can only assume that my son's situation is quite unique. Since going off Candex I have found out how well it worked for us; we've definitely got yeast issues now. take care René > > > So I guess my " quickie " question is.........Should I still go ahead and > > give him the Candex if I'm not sure?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Rene Have you tried Candidase? Since it is a differenet formulation, perhaps if would not cause the diarrhea for your son. We have used both Candex and Candidase and for us the Candidase actually works better at fighting yeast.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 > Hi rene, > > Incidentally, anyone know if GSE causes constipation. I've never herd of that, but others with more experience may have. I have heard of GSE causing diarrhea. Yeast commonly causes constipation, though. Judging from your posts yesterday, I'd guess that yeast may still be a problem, even though some of the symptoms may have subsided..... but, again, I'm not a yeast expert. I hope things get better soon for your son. Maybe that Candex will help. Have a good night René Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
