Re: Re: (OT ) Nystatin

[Guest guest]

Hi Sheila , Matteo is 4 and has always had hard stools and had a bowel movement

every other day before starting SCD,We started the SCD in Oct of 2005.We skipped

the intro because he is such a picky eater. We saw hyperactivity increase the

first fiew days as well as green coloured stools. He began to have a BM every

day with minimul hard formed stools mixed in with some good formed stools.He

became less hyperactive and good things started to happen.About the last week in

January of 2006 he started to have increased stomch pain and stools became

softer and softer more on the pudding texture. Along with theBM change we saw

regression in behaviours but not in cognitive gains.He started the nystatin

second week of March. He is still making gains in language but the behaviours

have not decreased. His Bm are still soft and evry third day or second day.He

also started probiotics a fiew days after starting the nystatin.This is what he

is eating , Apples,almonf flour pancakes, meats and eggs. Just water to drink.(

should he be drinking a specific type of water ie. destilled " we currently have

a Brita) Apples by the way are either grammy smith or golden delicious peeled

and seeded. Sheila I am trying to learn as much as I can from reading and I am

sure that there maybe something I am missing. My son gives me a hard time just

giving him his meds.He is a picky eater and thats gotten worse since he started

to regress. Thanks TONI mom to Matteo 4 yrs scd since Oct 2005

How long have you been doing the diet? Is your son ASD, ADHD etc.?

It helps if you sign your emails with this info.

You could ask the pharmacist what fillers did he/she used?

How were stools preSCD?

How are they since starting the Nystatin?

Have you tried epsom salt baths or/and activated charcoal - they

often help with die off symptoms.

Any other supplemnts/meds/chelating?
