Re: How to tell if there is yeast? (was Sleeping issues-again)

January 5, 2008

Hey -

There is no way to tell in general. We can sometimes

tell by mommy's 6th sense - often the return of

behaviors that improved a lot when antifungals were

just started.

Average lasting on Nizoral is 6 months (occasionally

longer), average on Diflucan, 1 year (mine stop at 9

months).

I don't think that there is necessarily an

extraordinary amount of yeast for behaviors to return.

I think we have strong immune reactions to even small

amounts. I also think a lot of improvement that we

see when we start antifungals are also from some of

the endocrine and immune effects that they have aside

from just treating yeast.

If in doubt about yeast, cut back some on the carbs

and sugars, and make sure the probiotics are being

used regular, even bump them up if it's ok w/Dr G and

if there is room for it. Sometimes that alone can

help resolve a problem.
