Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 , He's probably going through a terrible die-off. We don't recommend starting two things at once. Just starting SCD can trigger a die-off and adding S. Boulardii can do that as well. People can be allergic to S. Boulardii (it's a yeast). I would call your doctor's office and tell them what's happening. Medical attention seems necessary to me at this point. He sounds very, very sick.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 This happened to my daughter too about 1 week in to the diet. She could barely get off the couch, had a fever, vomiting. She was not on probiotics at the time. We thought it was the flu, but no one in our family caught it and we were all around her constantly. Her stool test came back normal for pathogens, but as I read more about digestive health, it sounds like our guts can also harbor virus?...I would love to hear if anyone knows more about this...if research shows that the gut can harbor Measles, could it also harbor Influenza (from flu shot) as well as " wild " viruses we catch? If so is this diet capable of purging all of this? ....so, it could be that your son is purging a variety of things, or he could just be unlucky enough to have caught the flu...maybe the test will be if anyone else catches it. After about three days of misery, my daughter felt a million times better (but had an insane craving for french fries!)

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Thanks Jody, It is very strange. After three hours he snapped out of it and now he is fine. I did take him to doctor. But by the time I got there he had snapped out of it. Doctor also said he thought it was a die-off reaction. Boy it scared me to death.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Robbie, Well this is day 3 so that coincides. He's fine now. It's amazing how this all works. Of course my second son is also just starting the diet but I didn't give him the probiotic too. (I was going to do one at a time.) We'll see if he has a reaction. I think I'll skip the probiotic with him. mom of riley (3y.o) dx autism and cameron (51/2 y.o.) dx anxiety disorder > > My kids both went through dieoff - one was vomiting and lethargic but not to > that extreme (about day 2-3 on SCD).
