Guest guest Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Dear Margaret So sorry to hear that you are finding the yeast taking over. My daughter & I (who both have LD) found the yeast unbearable, it was just so painful & we have it under control now, so I thought you might find it interesting to know what worked for us. We stuck to a really strict yeast free diet (no commercial bread etc), and a strict no sugar diet (that means no commercial bread as well in the US, plus most commercial breakfast cereals etc)(we did find a few sugar free ice creams which we were very excited about). Now that our yeast is under control we can have the occasional sugar treat, and my daughter is tolerating bread that doesn't have sugar in it. We were also really strict on taking our pro-biotics every day. In fact it is essential for anyone on antibiotics to take pro-biotics (at least 2 hours after abx - I take mine just before bedtime & that works fine), as without them you are open to a c.diff infection, which can be fatal. You need to take a good one, most pro-biotics from the healthfood store or drug store aren't strong enough (see a naturopath or your LLMD). When it gets REALLY bad, we use either VSL-3 or I have actually found the Restore Probiotic to be better (and cheaper in the long run, and it is easier to travel with because it can stay out of the fridge for a few days without damaging it too much) http://shop.restormedicine.com/Dr-Nicolas-Probiotic-Formula-PRO1.htm We haven't had any problems with yeast for over 12 months now that we've been following this regime, and it has made a huge difference. If I do sense there is any kind of yeasty thing coming on, I hit it with the Restore pro-biotics for a day or two, but most of the time I just take what our LLMD prescribes. I hope this helps & you find what works for you & your daughter.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Margaret, You may want to read the " candida cure " ... It is an amazing little book and even has recipes. Candida/yeast is tricky because the symptoms are similar to lyme.... body aches fatigue etc. My son and I have been on a very strict candida diet that includes no sugars at all... not even in fruit or anything. It is soooo helpful. If you are questioning if she has candida it is a simple saliva test you can take. Also, there is a bakery in florida that is amazing that I order all of our food from... sammi's bakery and they may great bagels and breads especially the cinnamon. Tastes just like a regular bagel we LOVE them (and my son is very picky). They are made of flax and millet -NO FLOUR, YEAST, SUGAR NOTHING!! And yes they are delicious! Good Luck!

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Sammi's Bakery out of Tampa Florida has amazing baked goods made of millet and flax w/o sugars and they are fine to eat on even the most strict candida diet and they taste great! Try the millet and flax cinnamon bagels!!

I've heard of those things and we've tried the diet for almost a year and then given up because my daughter didn't grow or gain weight at all during those 9 months and we had to stop.I'm slowly going back on it but for her it is more complicated as she's a former preemie with lots of GI issues. She didn't react well to GSE or oil of Oregano but I'll look into Caprylic Acid and see what it is made of etc. Maybe I'll try it first and then see about her. Thanks so much I'm sure I'll be following up with more later! > > > > > > > > > > > > Wondering if any children have throat issues as one of their > > symptoms? > > > > > > > > > > > > Since beginning Bactrim back in June of this year, our > > daughter has > > > > >complained that her throat feels small, weird, feels like a > > lump.
