Candida and Immune Dysfunction

[Guest guest]

I think it is safe to say at this point that any person ill with any immune

problem, auto and/or neuro has to watch out for candida problems and the diet

they consume. Michele Cerruto, SC

Re: newly diagnosed Sensory Disorder

Hi -

I think I responded before but didn't catch the part

of the Immune deficiency syndrome. That even adds

more impact... if the immune system is deficient, the

liklihood of candida/yeast/fungal infections, being

opportunistic as they are, is even more likely. It is

not necessarily an overall cause, but surely a

potential contributing factor. Yeast problems are

very common in kids, and some type of immune

response to it can set up sensory problems, as well as

chronic viral infections, or any other chronic

infection or reaction (including food reactions) that

could be setting up inflammation of the central

nervous system.

What type of immune deficiency in particular does your

child have? And does he have a history of thrush?

If your child is going to be receiving treatment, you

may very well see a significant improvement in the

sensory problems as his body is supported by treatment

and any infections gotten under control. In the

meantime, research therapy and find a good

occupational therapist. Depending on age, if younger

than 3, there may be an early intervention program

available for free where an OT could come to your home

or daycare and give therapy. Call a children's

hospital or autism support group for a good referral.

Hope that helps and hang in there - a lot improvement

can take place once a problem is recognized, and

sensory problems can wreak havoc on behaviors, so even

though you may be very distressed right now, your

family's quality of life may soon improve.
