- Thank you for your response & a question..

[Guest guest]

,

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my many

questions. It's a big help.

In response to your question, the yeast treatment is going well. He

finished up his first round of Diflucan plus his first round of

Yeast Aid and is now on his second round of Diflucan. I think I saw

even greater improvement on the Yeast Aid than the Diflucan...maybe

because the Yeast Aid works on bacteria as well as yeast and he does

have a bacteria problem as well. Anyway, his behavior is the best

we've ever seen. He's really with it and in a good mood. His

language, even though he's pretty verbabl to begin with, is coming

along very nicely. He's really playing with his twin sister and

having fun with her. We have not tried the No-Fenol at this point

as I was introducting the Diflucan and the Yeast Aid and wanted to

see what his reaction would be to those products without getting

confused if he had a bad reaction as to whether it was the No-Fenol

or the Diflucan or Yeast Aid.

Anyway, do you still think I should try the No-Fenol since we've

seen such an improvement already? And if I try it, how far away

from the Diflucan or the Yeast Aid should I give it? Do I give the

No-Fenol a 1/2 hour or 15 minutes before? Also, should I try it

first this way, right before the yeast treatment and then maybe

introduce it with meals as well? I'm assuming I should begin with

trying it once a day before the Diflucan or Yeast Aid and then try

giving it with meals, correct? It's so hard for me to even know if

he needs it with meals because he eats peanut butter and other

phenolic foods on a regular basis and has no reaction, no giggling,

no hyperactivity, etc.

As always, your advice and time is greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

Theresa
