Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Thanks, . I'd heard someone discuss it on another listserv and wondered what it was. Dr. G supports the use of probiotics at the right time (he likes to add these things very, very slowly) and I thought that's what this was. Turns out it's dead candida cells and their website says it uses the same mechanism as a vaccine, which doesn't make much sense to me. Vaccines can't cure an illness (just possibly prevent it or lessen it's impact on the body). Apparently consumption of the dead candida cells help the immune system recognize candida as an invader. It's also supposed to be infused with a " vibrational frequency " that is lethal to candida. After reading all of that, I'm pretty sure that this product would be a big no-no. He doesn't care for GSE and biotin either. The flora part was what made me think it was a probiotic and I wanted to run possible probiotics by Dr. G next week if he gave us the go ahead to start. My guess is, though, that we'll have to wait until the following month's appointment since Noah just started Nizoral. I'm hoping for big gains with this. We saw nice gains with Valtrex and are continuing that. Thanks again for responding.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Not with Dr. G! You really shouldn't need anything anyway. Nizoral will be just fine. You can have probios, if you like, though.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Diet can but most foods feed yeast. A lot of the foods you would have to remove and replace with something else are loaded with carbs which will also feed yeast. A low sugar diet/low carb diet is pretty much the only way diet can help eliminate yeast but if you are just following a basic diet, it's not going to do much to combat yeast alone, especially while on an antiviral.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 There is a diet called the specific carbohydrate diet, SCD diet, that is also for starving yeast. I have heard some parents say they do a diet that is more extreme at first to really kill the yeast, and to help cleanse the bowel of parasites, etc. (These are not parents on the protocol). Feeding yeast while trying to kill it even with meds, is something we are going to avoid and have been removing rice milk, and other things to start with. My son does not do well and gets worse behavior with any sugar. Angie Kristy Nardini <krnardini@...> wrote: I thought diet could be very effective in helping control/eliminate yeast/candida?

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I was reading up on the diet to starve yeast and it would be difficult if not impossible for Noah to follow. Although I limit his carbs, it's hard to come up with replacements when he will only eat carrots and the occasional green bean. He loves fruit and it was a challenge to limit him to 2 pieces per day as required by the diet. I can't imagine eliminate virtually all carbs from his diet. Plus, the yeast diet also requires whole grains, which is a big no-no on the protocol. Noah and my other son, , are on low sugar as well. Hopefully, these changes and the Nizoral will help immensely.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Hi Robyn- Just a little beacon of hope on the diet issue - Nizoral could be very beneficial in that. I found that my son responded so well to antifungals - first Diflucan, and then especially Nizoral for that brief 6 months we were on it ... and there were two things that were very dramatic (my son was one of those rare " dramatic responders " ): First (and this isn't the part that I think will encourage you about diet - it's just the big story first), within 3 days on the antifungal, my son dropped all echolalia and began speaking in 2 word sentences, which rapidly progressed into 5 words in under 2 months - totally shocking. His speech completely took off, and apparently he had been processing it despite his inability to use it properly... there's no other obvious explanation to me, because speech does not develop at that pace. It was like a switch was flipped and suddenly he was able to use it properly. This was even before antivirals or anything else was started, because I had gotten a two-week 'trial' out of his pediatrician prior to traveling to Dr Goldberg for the first time(and of course the pediatrician didn't believe a bit of what I told him happened, and even directly accused me of trying to pull something over on him but that's another story and I digress as certain memories are attached to each other lol!!). Unfortunately I do not want to give hope to other people that Diflucan can cure echolalia because I have yet to hear it happen that abruptly for another child yet. But for me it cememted my committment to trying the protocol. Not only that, but my then 15 or 18month old had been waking every 20min to an hour or hour and a half every single night since he was 2 weeks old - screaming and writhing as if in pain with absolutely no improvement until I started giving probiotics, then it got a tiny bit less intense, which is what drove me to beg and plead for Diflucan in the first place, and hey ... how about my other son too?), and within the first couple of days, he slept four hours straight (scared me to death when I woke up and saw the time and I raced to his room in terror - it had literally never happened), and within 5 days he was sleeping almost through the night. His pediatrician wouldn't believe me and I had to run through several pediatricians to get him back on Diflucan for the month I waited for our appt w/Dr G - because the waking and screaming returned within 3 days off the Diflucan. BTW - he didn't scream during the day - it may have had absolutely nothing to do with yeast, as there are other metabolic effects and even effects at the genetic level by Diflucan, and I suspect he could have had severe night terrors as opposed to pain. But number two - which I'm actually hoping to encourage you about ... my oldest son responded immediately to Diflucan (and even better to Nizoral) with the biggest reduction in his sensory problems I've ever witnessed. He was almost 3, and he had NEVER climbed on the couch - I had to pick him up and put him on it ... he had NEVER ridden on a ride-on toy, you couldn't hold him, hardly touch him ... he was so hyper-sensitive to sound I had to keep the house silent and TV down very low or he'd start wigging out. He didn't touch many things, he didn't walk w/a normal gait... he was very avoidant and locked in his own little world. Then comes Diflucan, not even the full dose that Dr G gives, and suddenly, he's racing through the house on the ride-on toy he wouldn't go near, he's climbing on everything (which I celebrated), he climbed into my LAP ... I wrote a list of over 20 brand new things that he did in those first two weeks that he had never done before, and a lot of them were things affected by his sensory system and discomfort with his place in space. AND BEST OF ALL .... he started expanding his diet, it got so much easier to restrict sugar and carbs (which was an ongoing all-day fight every day every hour prior to this). He became willing to try many more foods - not that he'd like them and eat them consistently, but it was better. It was measurable enough that I began to see Diflucan as the magic " diet " pill - but not so much that it switched over to being " easy " - I still had to fight constant battles ... and perhaps that perception of it being a battle contributed to some of our problems eating. However, now that he's been off Diflucan for so long (2 1/2 years?), eating has really regressed again and I'm going to have to go an an antifungal mission I think. Anyway - I also experienced the way that Diflucan helped me get off sugar (for a while at least - I regressed after I came off of them). It did not FIX my cravings, but it helped a lot ... but it was still really difficult for me to finally stop a lifelong habit altogether ... I was actually 'waiting' for the diflucan to help me get off sugar (I was off simple carbs though), and I just had to manage to stop altogether. But I had NEVER succeeded in that before antifungals. We've never been perfect at the diet all the time, but we do okay. But focusing on the proteins first has always made it easier, and I started (and maintain it to this day) having them always eat their meat before having anything else. We ate out at a place where there was absolutely nothing they could eat on the menu except plain rice (turns out they don't love sushi like their mom), so that night, that was going to be their dinner. And they practically freaked out because there was no protein to eat first! I actually felt really bad because I had it so engrained in them that they couldn't perceive it any other way and I think I've warped them lol. It's only natural, too, because I have lifelong eating issues from my PANDAS, and my brother to this day eats nothing but meat, bread, pasta, or rice. And he's actually normal. Ish.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Thanks, , for the encouraging post. Please don't worry about the length; I absolutely LOVE these stories! I'm not sure if it's continuing improvement with the antiviral or new improvement with the Nizoral, but this morning we were in church and Noah was sitting between my husband and me. He had an arm encircled around his dad arm and the other arm encircled mine (this was unusual because he usually hangs on me or sits on my lap the entire time). He kept looking back and forth at my husband and me and took turns putting his head on his shoulder. At one point as he was looking at me, I caught his eye and smiled. He smiled back, which is unusual unless he's being tickled or he find something funny. We just looked at each other for about a minute and then he said, " I happy. " I whispered back, " so am I, " and then we both returned our attention to the mass. It was a wonderful moment. I pray it's an indicator of more great things to come. Thanks again for sharing.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 My son started with the antifungal in Oct 2002 when we first saw Dr. G. Again, it's one of those things depending on the child's history. My son battled a case of ring worm that took a few months to clear that summer, so I think that was the main factor in choosing to start with an antifungal in our case. - in Mobile, AL __________________________ Reality lies beyond the horizon...

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 We did antiviral and then antifungal. That's what I love about Dr. G; he doesn't have a cookie cutter approach and that's probably why 's son was on an antifungal first. From what we were told, it's usually antiviral first because it has a tendency to kick up yeast, so an antifungal follows. Dr. G goes very slowly, which is great because you can identify more accurately positive and negative changes and attribute them to a particular med.
