OT: increased tactile defensiveness: causes, suggestions?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Our daughter has been showing increased tactile defensiveness recently. We're

not sure if it's another outgrowth of her impending teenagerhood, a side effect

of a cold she had recently (or the medication we gave her for that), or

something else. She's reacting with pain to light touch and even one time

recently said " ouch " or something similar when something landed near, but not

on, her (my only guess there is she felt the vibration or something).

Any suggestions as to why this would be changing and what to do about it would

be greatly appreciated.

thanks for your help.

Try increasing the yeast protocol. A cold generally will increase yeast

[viruses and viral die off increase yeast], and sensory issues are commonly

caused by yeast overgrowth.
