>>> Is bad sulfery smelling gas a sign of yeast or yeast die off?

I associate sulfur smell with bad bacteria. How are the stools? Some

bacteria can use carbon or sulfur instead of oxygen. The by-product is

hydrogen sulfide among other things. The sulfur by-products give a

rotten egg or super foul smelling stench with bms. One of my son's had

an adverse bacteria problem. The child reaked because of it: bad

breath, body odor even after a showder....constipation is a great

environment for promoting bad bacteria. Treating the bacteria and

constipation made the smell go away.

>>> How did you treat the bad bacteria?

My son had this bacteria/constipation problem for several years so it

was rather severe. I gave extra proteases and probiotics for about 5

months hoping to drive out the problem. Although these noticeably

helped (seen by better stools and a drop in the horrible smell), it

didn't get rid of the problem. I gave 6 extra capsules of proteases

(like Peptizyde, ViraStop, etc), and 3 capsules of the higher potency

Culturelle a day.

In the 5th month, I gave 10 days of Source Naturals colloidal silver

as an antibiotic...the throat spray. There was some die-off the first

couple of days and then my son felt great. At the end of the 10 days,

the bacteria problem was gone and I reduced the enzymes and

probiotics back to a maintenance dose (enzymes with meals, and 1

Culturelle a day). That knocked out the bacteria problem.

I suppose a more moderate/mild problem may have been controlled with

just the enzymes and probiotics, but for our issues, the round of

silver was needed.

My son ended up with the condition called encopresis, so we needed to

follow the encopresis protocol to get his colon back in shape. I used

magnesium citrate (Natural Calm) and then Source Naturals magnesium

malate as the laxative. Here is the write-up on encopresis:

It took me y-e-a-r-s to find out what was actually going on and how

to fix it. My son was in 2nd grade before his was fully potty-trained

due to this encopresis. Ugh! He felt so much better afterwards to say

nothing of his self-esteem going up. A sign of encopresis is

compaction, chronic constipation, streaking or soiling in the

underwear, child not 'feeling' when they need to go, uncontrollable

wetting. If you have any questions on this, give me a holler.

Thanks for the info, . I hadn't thought of bacteria. This is

new, just today. I honestly don't know how his stools are. He's

almost 11 and completely independent in that area (minus the ever

present prompt to wash his hands, lol). I'm not sure what to do

here.

Since this is new, give it a few days to week or two and see if it

persists. It may be just a temporary indigestion problem which will

pass in a few days. A bacteria problem needing treatment would stick

around for awhile. If the smell sticks or get worse, then consider

action. If you have probiotics, you might want to give a little extra

for a few days to help with any indigestion.

How do you know if constipation is related to bacteria or yeast?

Thanks, Melinda

>>>> How do you know if constipation is related to bacteria or yeast?

I tend to think of bacteria causing the foul stench...not the regular

poop aroma, but a putrid smell that reaks so badly you practically run

out of the house...like a stink-bomb went off. Constipation causes an

anerobic environment which doesn't allow the good bacteria to live, so

the bad bacteria have all the room to themselves living off the carbon

and sulfur. Same thing is an issue on hog farms.

Yeast may have a 'yeasty' smell (think of bread rising), and a stringy,

frothy, or cottage cheese type consistency to the stools. But yeast

doesn't make the really foul smell. Bad breath or body odor isn't

characteristic of yeast either but is of bacteria. Inappropriate silly

gigiggling or drunk behavior is characteristic of yeast but not

bacteria.

Dark circles under the eyes and poor 'detox' symptoms can be associated

with either yeast or bacteria.

Someone else might have other tips to distinguish the two.
