Microbe die-off

[Guest guest]

I'm a newcomer, so maybe you old-timers know what you mean with your code words,

but us newbies could use some clarification. When you all say " experiencing

die-off, " or like phrases, what do you mean? I have a non-verbal child and I

attribute self-abusive behavior, crying, lethargy between bouts, thrush around

her mouth, etc. to microbe die-off. Is this what you're all experiencing with

your children when you say die-off?

Or, do you have verbal children who are coming up to you and saying, " Mother,

I'm feeling under the weather and suspect the reason is die-off. " The disparity

between the two is great and I imagine there are many different experiences

between those two extremes. Could we please have a discussion about what each

of you have experienced when your children were in the beginning of the diet and

experiencing die-off? What did that look like? Thank you.
