Well may have just answered my own question. Gave her pistachios this morning,

and she is either reacting to peanut butter from last night and/or pistachio's

from this morning. Or probably a bit of both. Now with the signs starting to

really see the difference between when the yeast is irratated from mold and when

it is being fed. Either way no fun. I think the mold way makes her act more

like a mean drunk.

Anyone have any thing they take to calm things down in there when they are

feeling it mentally? I know for die off, some people recommend charcoal to

absorb the toxins. Just this seems different.

Thanks,

Kari

Kari - I don't know if it will help but two different (natural)

practitioners have suggested sodium bicarbonate/potassium bicarbonate fto

calm my bad my " episodes " . Actually, it's an antacid. The bottle I'm

looking at now is called

Alka-Aid " and says is " relieves heartburn, sour stomach and acid

indigestion " . Well, in my case when I react to a food, its complete

exhaustion - my stomach doesn't " feel " acidy or anything, but taking the

antacid seems to help in my case.

I was told to swallow two of these every half hour and not to exceed 20

tablets a day.

Both as in peanuts AND other nuts, or peanuts and peanut butter. I've

heard from many different sources that most nuts are ok except peanuts,

walnuts and pistachios (something to do with they split?)

Hi Kari,

I am a just beginning Newbie for the candidiasis however, I am a trained

chef and a practitioner of herbal medicine (you'd think I would have clued

into this candida thing years ago when I started getting sick, oh, well)

regarding nut butters for your daughter, your best bet is to stay away from

commercially made butters, even from health food stores, as your daughter

seems to be extremely sensitive, and make your own. You can buy the nuts

your daughter seems to have the least trouble with and in a blender (best

smooth) or a food processor (crunchy) blend small batches of natural butters

that should not be a problem for your daughter. My son has a low level milk

allergy and until I started experimenting with making some of his favorites

myself, he kept having symptoms. Now his asthma has decreased and he is able

to recover much more quickly when he does develop respiratory infections.

Best of luck, sounds like you are a wonderful mom.

Re: To Kari

I know. Am really keeping my fingers crossed. Having knowledge though is

way more important, because we all know it is emotionally draining to be

fighting some ghost you just can't seem to get your arms around. But good

news is we are finally at the point where I can actually test things out.

And this has been a grueling 4 weeks to get to this point.

If meltdown occurs at bed time, I will know it was the peanut butter.
