Would this be yeast?

[Guest guest]

I suspect yeast from what you've said, die off can cause behaviours, strange

poops, musty smelling wee all sorts. Give it a little more time

Now, do others think that this is yeast or something else? It was my

general feeling that it probably was but I'm always unsure. Another

thing -- he doesn't normally have unformed stools. Typically they're

formed. When he first started the nystatin they were less formed.

Now they seem to be fairly formed again. Is this a sign that there is

NOT die-off or he doesn't have yeast?

My son had to use antibiotics a lot when he was little due to

recurrent ear infections. About a month and a half ago, he had

another and we used antibiotics. Around that time (I believe), his

behavior generally went downhill. He has always been aggressive but

the aggression has gotten somewhat worse and his general behavior has

gone downhill quite a bit. He used to sort of 'scream' a lot and say

" don't scream " but stopped that up until the time he used antibiotics

again. Now he is doing it all the time.

We talked to his doctor and she decided that the 'anti-yeast' protocol

sounded like a decent idea. Basically you take nystatin over a

period of time and reduce the amount of yeast in the diet. He just

started this a few days ago and his behavior hasn't been too good.

Thanks in advance.

Well, you need to reduce or remove sugars, and for some kids reduce

carbs. Not sure what you mean by " reducing yeast in the diet " .

The behaviors can be yeast die off, or they can be a reaction to any

new foods you have introduced. Or both.

It can also be a bad reaction to the Nystatin. If this is regular

commercial Nystatin, it contains dyes and flavors [and sugar], so you

might consider giving it with No-Fenol enzyme.
