Sounds like my daughter, when we're dealing with yeast.

One thing about yeast, it can be in different places in their

bodies, migrate around, and sometimes cause different types of

behaviors but still be fundamentally a yeast behavior.

Alcohol is a byproduct of yeast. My daughter is a mean drunk; she

is the one who will get absolutely nasty and impossible to live

with. When she started talking finally she would say things

like, " I wish I was never born, I can't believe I got the wrong

mother, " etc. - appropro of nothing. (Have you ever been in a

pointless argument with a mean drunk person? The same, and she was

4.) My son is a happy drunk but it's equally annoying. He laughs

at nothing, stays up til all hours bouncing on things, playing loud

music, gets inappropriately affectionate.... I will stop there but

our list of yeast symptoms is really very diverse. I always know

it's yeast by how annoyed I get, rather than the actual behaviors.

If they are doing something similar just being silly or cranky kids,

it doesn't bother me.

I also want to mention that my son's labs frequently used to come

back negative for yeast, or with levels that weren't clinically

elevated, when at the time he was reliably giving me thrush twice a

month (he nursed til he was 3) or you could see it in his mouth or

other parts of his body. I don't know if that's very common, but

for what it's worth.
