Re: Yeast treatments for infant!?!?!?

[Guest guest]

We thought our home might be partly responsible for my son's massive

yeast problem. But, when we traveled, we didn't see any improvements.

It's possible that there is something in the bedding (pillow or

feathertick), molds, or other allergens in the home. You might also

want to look at your laundry detergent.

We started treating our youngest for yeast when she was 15 months

old. At that time we introduced infant probiotics (Klaire makes a

great infant one that is GFCF) and biotin together with magnesium.

How much biotin are you using for her, and how much does she weigh?

Also, based on some of the symptoms you list, I wonder if she may be

reacting to some foods in her diet. Even though they are SCD, she

may still have IgG issues with them. Would you consider running an

IgG (and maybe IgE as well) food panel on her? The formula might be

a problem too - hard to say. Is she dairy free too, along with the

SCD (other than the formula)? If not, maybe try pulling dairy (and

soy).

My daughter couldn't tolerate the hydrolyzed protein formulas. We

had to go to Neocate, which is very expensive, but I honestly think

it saved her. She has identical biological issues to her older

brother with ASD, some even worse than his, but doesn't show ASD

symptoms (she is 2 now). Our doctors call her " near miss ASD " . She

is still on Neocate as her gut is quite bad and she cannot tolerate

much food.
