Wow- DIE OFF!

[Guest guest]

I was so not expecting this so soon. We have been down this yeast

road a while and had our first die off some months ago with the

introduction of enzymes and probiotics. We have battled it on and

off since.

Well, as of Monday I took away all grains from my son hoping to get

him interested in some new foods this week while trying them out

before the big intro this weekend. Well, he is so having die off

from just that in a mater of 2 days. He is runny nose(we did this

before and he is NEVER sick), low grade fever and just yucky.

Somehow he is in good spirits except when I wipe his nose.

I guess it's going to be a long weekend. He is rather sharp today

though and so affectionate. My son really has (in my opinion) not

fit the diagnosis based on the social criteria for months (since

taking milk). He interacts with us so much and his eye contact is

right on. We also took soy recently and saw more gains there with

him just being affectionate and also an end to the mushy stools.

However, the only language gains we have really seen (he is non-

verbal) were with us trying out gluten free a month ago. So, after

an infraction we began preparing to do SCD- hoping for more gains.

Oh, I pray this helps. I have longed for him to talk again (he

regressed) for most of a year now. Somedays I wonder if it will EVER

happen. Things that work for other kids, don't seem to work for our

son.

I do have a question. My son will NOT swallow capsules (2 1/2 years

old) and very opposed to messing in his mouth, so we have never been

able to get him to take the charcoal. I heard about Alka Seltzer

gold. Does it taste bad? Maybe he might take it? I have done the

epsom salt baths, but I can't really tell how much they are working.

I welcome any suggestions, as this is about the worst we have had

it.

Thanks,

Laurie
