Adding Yeast Aid = violence/increase in outbursts/loss of bladder awareness??

September 19, 2008

My 3 1/2 yr old has been on valtrex for 4 months. We had to pull him

from diflucan 4 weeks ago b/c of elevated LFT results. I've been

battling yeast with natural antifungals with some success. 5 days ago

I added to the mix Kirkman's yeast aid at 2 caps/day.

Here's his daily regimine:

AM: 165 mg valtrex, SuperNuThera, MultiMineral Pro Support, 10 mg zinc,

5 mg biotin, 500 mg taurine, 2 Kirkman DMG/Folic/B12, 1 Phenol Assist,

1 milk thistle, 2 drops GSE, 1 yeast aid.

Noon: 165 mg valtrex, 10 mg zinc, 5 mg biotin, 500 mg taurine, 1 Phenol

Assist, 2 drops GSE, 1 yeast aid, 100 mg vitamin E (kirkman's caps).

Evening:

165 mg valtrex, SuperNuThera, MultiMineral Pro Support, 20 mg zinc, 5

mg biotin, 500 mg taurine, 1 milk thistle, 2 SacB caps (10 billion), 3

ProBioGold (60 billion), 400 mcg folinic.

He is GFCF (also soy/egg/rice/flax/bean/phenol-free too)

This past week, there has been an increase in spontaneous burst

tantrums (this is a kid who can go up to 3-4 weeks without a tantrum)

to up to 6-7 a day (happy one second, screaming the next over things

like eating the last piece of a muffin). He potty trained this summer

and was doing great. This week, he has started tantrumming

screaming " NEW PANTS! " which used to mean he had peed in his pants, but

when I check him, he's still dry. I put him on the potty and he maybe

squeezes out a drop or two...definitely not a full bladder situation.

And the topper - my son who has NEVER hit anyone, has started showing

agressing, hitting things when he's angry (never really shown anger

before either) and yesterday after I denied him access to a toy he was

using to bang on the walls, he asked to be picked up, looked me in the

face and smacked my cheek.

So, all that background info to ask this - Does anyone know if the

ingredients in yeast aid (Vit C 500 mg, Biotin 900 mcg, selenium 70

mcg, OLE 200 mg, Pau D'Arco 200 mg, Goldenseal 100 mg, Caprylic Acid

100 mg, Cranberry 25 mg, Oregano 100 mg) could be causing some of this

behavioral change? I haven't found anything online indicating it, but

the timing is too coincidental to not take note. I won't be giving him

any more of the yeast aid, but want to know for further supplementation

purposes if one of these things just shouldn't be given.

Thanks in advance for reading all this!
