Juli,

When at the Autism 2000 conf in Houston a few weeks ago, I had a conversation

with Reynolds, she was telling me when her husband did the Difulcan for

yeast problems that even the insides of his eyes itched...she said he was really

bad for the first few days...and after 10 days - his sugar cravings finally

subsided. Having done the garlic & probiotics - which I went off the wagon a

week ago - just too nuts right now - I was ready to twist off...I can only

imagine what it would have been like on Nystatin...Jess has definitely had an

increase in seizure activity even using homeopathic methods - but she is getting

better as far as mood & loose stools are concerned...only time will tell when we

re-test her at GPL.

...I can definitely feel what you're going thru, like most of the parents

on this list...we are here to help one another and know that we have a place to

go where others truly understand your pain, fear & frustration. All I can say

is hang in there...also, after seeing someone's post about rice being binding -

so is soy...so you may definitely want to make sure you're rotating your milks.

I use the Almond Breeze, EdenSoy Rice/Soy milk & Westsoy Plus plain soymilk...it

seems that when I make sure Jess doesn't get too much soy, her stools loosen

up. Also, when I was giving her Lactase to help w/the Lactose in her seizure

drugs, she got really constipated, which the ped. said perhaps there really

wasn't that much Lactose in the meds, and giving her the Lactase was going

overboard on digestion...if that makes any sense. You just have to remember

that every kid is different & alot of this is definitely trial & error that we

all have to go thru to figure out what works best for our own children.
