Guest guest Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 I have issues with yeast and sugar and have found that I can eat tart cherries, which are also high in melatonin and are anti-inflammatory: www.mi-cherries.com/ You can get them in the can and pour off the excess juice so there is even less sugar. Cherries are very low on the glycemic index compared to most fruits, I just found out. > > I have a question. > A few months ago, my son (5 1/2 yrs severe asd) had yeast issues. > Our DAN put him on a harsh dose of Diflucan, and we eliminated all > yeast feeding foods from his diet, well, all that we knew about.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Pears are a wonder fruit if you ask me. In our starter diet we allow pear and melon, careful on the amounts of melon. - Stan > > I have a question. > A few months ago, my son (5 1/2 yrs severe asd) had yeast issues. > Our DAN put him on a harsh dose of Diflucan, and we eliminated all > yeast feeding foods from his diet, well, all that we knew about.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Thank-you, Stan. One more question.. What kind of melon, does it matter? And, when you say to be careful on the amounts, what amount would you suggest to start, a couple of bites? Pears are a wonder fruit if you ask me. In our starter diet we allow pear and melon, careful on the amounts of melon.- Stan > > I have a question.> A few months ago, my son (5 1/2 yrs severe asd) had yeast issues.> Our DAN put him on a harsh dose of Diflucan, and we eliminated all > yeast feeding foods from his diet, well, all that we knew about.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Yes, that sounds about right. Melon that I commonly use are cantaloupe, honeydew and watermelon. - Stan > > > > > > I have a question. > > > A few months ago, my son (5 1/2 yrs severe asd) had yeast issues. > > > Our DAN put him on a harsh dose of Diflucan, and we eliminated all > > > yeast feeding foods from his diet, well, all that we knew about. > > We > > > took out all forms of sugar, he only gets stevia for a sweetener, > > and I > > > took out all fruits, except for frozen whole cranberries, and > > pears.
