Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 I've increased his enzymes to two caps per meal/ snack. Boy! What a difference! He's been eating so much better. I'm going to finish the Candex and possibly try the ia. Does " yeast die off " make stool more acidic? We're knee deep in diaper rash! Should I increase his Calcium?

Depends. How much do you give? Do you notice a difference when you increase it? Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hi Dana Diaper rash is gone since I've stopped the Candex. I did start him on ia after all. He's eating better than ever. (4 - 5 meals a day!!) Perhaps due to yeast coming out? He is soooo much calmer in the past couple of days. Stimming has increased but overshadowed by small gains we're seeing. In the past too much Cal/Mag = loose stools and gut pain. Right now all he can tolerate is 1/8 tsp twice a day. I think the Cal/Mag ratio is too much for him to have the full dosage. I think I remember reading somewhere that increasing calcium helps balance the body's PH levels. Can I give Calcium by alone without the magnesium?

He's eating better than ever. (4 - 5 meals a > day!!) Perhaps due to yeast coming out? Sounds good! Eating better might be because of a variety of things, but if he is eating better, then that is good, no matter what the reason. > In the past too much Cal/Mag = loose stools and gut pain. > Right now all he can tolerate is 1/8 tsp twice a day. > I think the Cal/Mag ratio is too much for him to have the full dosage. > I think I remember reading somewhere that increasing calcium helps > balance the body's PH levels. > Can I give Calcium by alone without the magnesium? My son was calcium toxic, and giving any calcium caused loose stools, hyper, and serious regression. Are you sure he is calcium deficient and needs the supplementation? Giving calcium without magnesium is not generally recommended, because calcium requires magnesium [and vitamin D] for proper absorption. So calcium alone might cause issues like my son had, or kidney stones, or other things. But you can try a low dose alone, see if you notice anything.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 His last hair test showed low Calcuim. (result was 97 and reference range was 125-370) Test was done 8 months ago. He could be on target for cal now. We plan to do another hair test in 4 months. I did order calcium/mag from kirkman (trial size) I'll try that and see how it goes. DAN doc wants to do an OAT test and another urine (yeast) test. Do you think the ia will effect the results? I wish I would have found the ia sooner. It seems to be working! My son waved to me this morning just out of the blue.

If it is addressing his yeast overgrowth problem, then yes, the tests should come up negative. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
