Re: Yeast? Allergy? Mercury?

[Guest guest]

The mouth, sinuses, and gut are all " mucus membranes " . A good quality, high

brine sea salt (like Celtic sea salt) is good support for mucus membranes, can

help improve gut function, and also provides some support for the immune system

(like adrenals and thyroid, which are important to support for allergies or

infections). You can put it in the bath and let him absorb it through the skin

rather than give orally. There may be a lot of others things you will

eventually have to do to resolve all this, but I would start with getting a good

quality sea salt into him. Please add it as the **only** change to his routine

and try to not change anything else for a week or two so you can have some idea

what it is doing. It sounds like you have so many things going on that you

don't really know what is doing what.

Also, start at a low dose and work your way up. His system is under enough

stress already without giving him a high dose of sea salt. If giving orally,

do something like 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon per day. If doing in the bath, maybe

something like a teaspoon to a tablespoon in the bath water. Don't raise it for

at least a week. His body will need time to absorb it and begin rebuilding

important systems. This is very time and energy intensive for the body. The

single most common mistake I see people make with supplements/foods as a medical

treatment is starting at too high a dose. Then they get a bad reaction and

decide they don't tolerate it and want to discontinue it. In most cases, just

lowering the dose makes them suddenly tolerate it and benefit from it.

Good luck with this.

He was fussy over the summer, but manageable. In September that all changed.

He started getting sores on him mouth, teething, and drooling incessantly. One

testing. They proceeded to make me feel horrible about feeding him goats milk

and did some tests (I think to prove to me that he was malnourished), but the

blood work came back perfect (according to them) and his stool had no blood in

it. They referred me to a GI doctor for a consult.

stopped it, although I think it was starting to help). The candex/acidophilus

was not working, so I filled a prescription for Nystatin that his doctor had

I run out of a bottle, it comes back with a vengeance. I am on my third bottle

him and he had gained 1 lb since being on the nystatin.

today his mouth is redder and I think the thrush is back. I don't think the

nystatin is working anymore. I called and asked for Diflucan, but they didn't

At my house, I eliminated canker sores wit lysine, because they were a variety

Try giving biotin. Also, a single drop of GSE might help. You might need to

increase it, but increase slowly as he is just an infant.

My son did not tolerate rice, it was one of his worst intolerances.

Yes, it sounds like thrush.

I would start with biotin. If it constipates him, add magnesium [biotin

It is possible. Try giving the milk with an appropriate enzyme like HNI AFP

Peptizyde or TriEnza, see of that helps.

First you need to learn what it takes to keep the yeast under control. Then

start chelating.

Digestive enzymes. Because he has problems with many foods, I would try the HNI

TriEnza.

I ended up switching my son at the time 9 months old to rice milk and added

coconut milk for extra fat. My nt sons doctors have been amazed how well we've

done with his number of allergies, we've got the record around here with our

docs.

I've read only 20% of those allergic to milk can tolerate goats milk. We went

to rice, cheaper, easier to find and we didn't have issues.

About cereal. 8 years ago, I used Gerber rice, it had soy in it. Not sure

about today. But soy/peanuts are my sons worst allergens and since allergic to

wheat and oats, we never got baby cereal down my son. Was strange. He was also

allergic to babies first fruits, bananas and apples, so we had a very hard time

with foods too, not understand or knowing about his food allergies yet. Skin

testing at 9 months, explained it all. So.....I'd recommend starting out with

veg, like sweet potatoes. Go a couple weeks, go slow. Peas didn't work for us,

part of the soy/peanut legume family. For fruit, pears I understand don't feed

the yeast, right guys? Might be a good first fruit.

Seeing an allergies, might not hurt. I pumped for 9 months and my son had

issues with my milk but no formula would do after breast milk. So going with

those " nasty " formulas this late won't work. I'd also try adding healthy oil

like olive oil to his milk. Just a splash. Good fat, good for constipation

issues too.

Brainchild has liquid supplements to treat with yeast that can be tasty and not

hard to hide in a little juice, like pear.

I hope any of this helps.

Metagenics has a formula called ultracare for kids. Its not intended as a

formula, but it is rice based and can surely help in a situation like this.

Peezs me off that choices in formulas all pretty much contain allergens.. or

digested allergens.

You can also add to this to make it a more complete formula as well (coconut

oil, sunflower oil, palm oil, CLO, probiotics, some rice syrup and gelatin). I

would give that a go as well, as I agree with Tammy that goat milk is still an

issue for many dairy allergic kids. Weston Price also has a liver based formula

recipe out there.. and maybe the base could be broth?

Try to clear all the reactions first, then add stuff in very slowly. I agree,

pears is probably not a bad place to start. How about avocado? It is considered

a pretty complete food too. Meats? You can add enzymes to the meals to help out

with the digestion as well.

Good Luck. Allergies are tough.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU all for these suggestions. This is exactly the

kinds of responses I was looking for.

I am going to thoroughly go through all the information given and I will keep

you updated on our progress. THis morning he is much better and is seems the

thrush is getting better, again. I am giving him candex 1/3 capsule AM and PM

as well as acidophilus in every bottle. I am highly considering an allergist

appointment, but the good news is that I finally got a call back from a

nutritionist I have been trying to get ahold of. He does nutritional resonse

testing and is a friend of a friend. He thinks he can help us and I am

anxiously awaiting our first appointment.

Thanks again for these replies!! ~

I have not heard that. Celtic sea salt was recommended to me by a member of

this list some years back who had heavily researched sea salt brands. So that

was the first one I tried. It did wonders for me. I have tried several others

since then. The only one that comes even close is McCormick's French Grey,

which is not quite as good and is lots more expensive. I basically buy it for

two reasons: It comes in a small metal tin, so I keep one in my desk at work,

and if I am really running out of Celtic, I will sometimes pick up French Grey

while waiting for my Celtic to arrive via UPS to make sure I don't run out.

Most of the brands of sea salt I have tried weren't much different from " kosher "

or " canning and pickling " salt. In other words, they lacked the anti-caking

agents and other additives that I have issues with but they were basically just

sodium chloride whereas Celtic is a mix of 80-some-odds micronutrients found

naturally in sea water.

Can I ask where you like to order your salt from? I think this might be

something worth trying for my son. How much do you put in the tub at a time?

http://www.celticseasalt.com/ -- Same thing listed on a couple of my websites.

I would start at a spoonful or so of salt in the bath. When I first began

adding sea salt to my bath, I felt really hot afterwards, especially so if I

added more than normal.
