yeast die off (was: Re: Saccharomyces Boulardii

[Guest guest]

Hi nne,

We are fighting a nasty yeast problem and are currently using

Saccharomyces Boulardii. Activated charcoal gloms onto anything that

is given with it. We were told to give it about a half hour AFTER

using antifungals. The idea is that the yeast die off creates toxins

and the charcoal absorbs them. Don't give it with food since it will

rob the nutrients out of them. We mix it in water and give it to my

son in a colored cup (like a water bottle) so he can't see it. I

believe you should also wait some time after giving the charcoal

before giving him food or other supps. Also you wouldn't give it with

a probiotic either since it would probably render it ineffective.

Hope this helps.
