Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Yes, SCD is meant to keep yeast under control by starving it out with " legal " only monosaccharide foods which are easily digestible and the 24 hour SCD yogurt.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Thanks. I am really going for the nutritious diet for both kids but we have a yeast issue in son and likely crohns according to GI) in daughter so I am looking for ways to help. It is so restrictive and while I don't mind that I want her to be able to come off it. > > Liz did you see this article about the specific carbohydrate diet > (SCD)? > > http://www.consumerhealth.org/articles/display.cfm?ID=20060301174333 > > > ===== > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Cant help but add 2 cents here. Hope its useful. The SCD is a good one for many, but will not in and of itself preclude yeast. Often yeast runs amok because antibiotics killed off the " beneficial " bacteria in the gut which normally keeps the yeast under control. The " Leaky Gut " syndrome can add vulnerability, as can an sluggish colon. Lots of ways yeast can thrive. It's further complicated in that not every antifungal kills every kind of yeast. Thus, the 'antifungal parade'. It may take several different ones to finish the job. Die off from the yeast toxins only occurs when the antifungal and the particular yeast were a good match. Thus the parade. Some children go thru MANY different ones in succession and get die-off only from some. Different yeasts need different killers...Some take a week after max dose is reached and die-off is dramatic, activated charcoal (OTC from pharmacist) can be a god-send. Realize too that some antifungal drugs are more aggressive than others. I like to suggest a week where the children and parents are home, like spring break. It will not be a vacation you forget, but it will be one that you remember making a profound difference for your child. Please note too, that not all apraxic children have yeast issues so best not to go onto this without doctor diagnosis of yeast. Its been proposed that 99.9% of autistic children have yeast (symptoms of yeast or not), (Aspergers kids dont have similar mercury or yeast findings thus all developmental disorders, even on the same spectrum, shouldnt be indiscriminately treated the same). Probiotics are great, but only after healing the gut and clearing the yeast, otherwise we are feeding the yeast... Sorry to ramble, I am so passionate about this, and not everyone wants to hear about it ya know!! Hope this helps somehow.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 My experience is that each child can have quite unique die-off experience. Toxins are being released, so each child will respond differently to the particular poison they are transporting out. Severe reactions have been reported such as tantrums, toe walking, not responding to their name, frustration, aggitation, aggression,etc.--- This potential is why I advise early trials with all hands on deck and no big plans for those initial days. Also expect some very loose stools.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Okay...... I'm glad that you're passionate about this since I need you right about now! We are doing Round 2 of DMSA and my boy is looking at me wild eyed whispering " YEAST! " and trying desparately not to scratch his 'privates' in public. We race home and I break out the Candex.... HURRY!!!!! On round one, we didn't have any yeast symptoms until the round was over but now we are having yeast symptoms within 8 hours of beginning the round. I have Candex and I also have some Primal Defense by Garden of Life that my Doc gave me. Which one is better to use with the DMSA in your opinion? Both? When should I be treating for yeast? Should I continue to treat on Off days as well as On days? How long do I wait to give the yeast after giving the DMSA? Has anyone found a 'method' by which they handle this yeast that kicks up? What is the yeast secret? Mark is NOT a yeasty kid but this stuff just brings it right up and stirs the pot! (Kind of like me on anti-biotics...... yeast city!) I KNOW that I have to keep a good control over this. Any advice would be much appreciated. I can experiment but I would love the benefit of the experiences of those who have gone before..... ye wise ones!

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Marie, The answer to your question " how is it determined the child has a yeast problem? " Our doc listened to his history: cradle cap, colic (defined as baby that rarely sleeps, draws legs up with gastro pain, passing a lot of gas), chronic athletes foot from age 1 on, chronically touching his genitals and anal area (much worse than most little boys who were just " discovering " ), malabsorption and strong evidence of a " leaky gut " (which yeast can cause), recurring sinusitis with repeated rounds of antibiotics. We are on week 3 of a special compounded version of nystatin. For us, we've seen the die-off happening and I increased slowly until this past Sunday when we went to full dose. We saw increased proprioceptive sensory seeking, some vestibular but not as bad, poorer attention, hyperactivity, poor sleeping habits (waking very early due to the need for proprioceptive sensory input). In the early days of it I actually saw some low-grade fever. I often wondered about the touching his genitals and anal area thing. I had preschool and church nursery teachers complaining about this (rightfully so) and referring to it as " self-stimming " , but then I would scour the sensory books for this being a form of stim - and came up with nothing. (That's not to say that somewhere and by some people it is considered stimming - but I couldn't find it in the several books I have.) Now that started the nystatin - he doesn't do that anymore. Turns out for him it wasn't stimming. The poor little guy was probably itching BEYOND badly (if any of you girls have ever had a yeast infection - whew - you know what I mean). And because he couldn't tell us, he had to endure being told to stop. I want to cry just thinking about it. I don't think there are any good, reliable tests for yeast, although there may be. He has definitely reacted to the nystatin, so I think the doc is right. A good book to look at is The Yeast Connection by Dr. G. Crook. It gives a lot of symptoms, a lot of info about nystatin and other antifungals. > > With all these yeast questions lately, I'm wondering " How is it determined the child has a yeast problem?

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Great question. To be real sure, run a stool sample. Unfortunately even that is not conclusive. I've seen 2 stools sent from the same child on the same day, lab results clean on one, and the other full of yeast, parasites, etc (and that was from a doctor's child so the sample was taken and mixed appropriately)--- Most cases will show up in a stool sample, in fact a LOT of people have bad colon environment (high yeast, high bad bacteria, low good...), we dont need to do the lab. If they've been on antiobiotics and have significant health problems, I'd put money on it... There are outward signs we note on small children. Often they have a rounded gut since its bloated (yeast rising...). They also seem to have wasted looking gluts (butt muscles). Redness around anus is another sign. These are great signs on textbook cases. There are more subtle signs we can chat about some other time if anyone wants to hear.. The only behaviors that would make me think Yeast automatically would be the rubbing of genitals or anus-- yeast makes these real itchy. I get really miffed when I hear that I child was labeled " hormonal " because of their constant rubbing against the couch, etc. Aint no way a kid who is 2-10 is rubbing because of hormones. It's (almost) always a yeast issue.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 , We have the same history only never had the antibiotics except in utero and no feet stuff. I do notice the genital thing is something he wakes up with and it is after calmag which pulls out the fluoride. It is bad on calmag days which are few these days. General interest is something he has on off days in the morning only which makes me think it is the pee. When we first started the probiotic the pants were always off. I think it stirred up yeast bigtime. I will read your book. I think Dans use the poop test. The GI's test for yeast but do nothing if it is there. Not sure what a urologist would do. Don't beat yourself up. You are going to the mat for your boy. I have beat myself up so many times and each time it is more unproductive than the last.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Janice, I know that Charlie is a little guy and we were at ground zero again on Wed, back from our Crazy Sunday. So we have him on the anti-fungal drops again and only 1 drop of the metal detox today and yesterday. Saw him toe walk on one foot both today and yesterday. Nothing bad or significant like last Sun. I think this crazy behavior is yeast as well. So I dont have any hard info to offer, other than to share, this detox stuff is drumming up yeast in the least little bit of detox. Charlie is very busy today and wide-eyed as you described Mark. Found him in his bathroom on the sink with playing with the water after his nap. He kindly washed the glass and leather coffee table for me today with plenty of papertowels strung out on the floor. When I saw it and made a sigh he said... " Outstanding! " Andy and I looked at each other and could not believe he said that word. Then he flushed the toilet and said " down, down, down, down, down. " So with some irratic behavior, we have also gotten a 3 syllable word and a 5 single word singing sentence. Who knows what tomorrow brings with this detox stuff. Hopefully we will be okay staying on the antifungal. Colleen Mother of Charlie 30 months [ ] Re:How long until see die off effects after first dose of nystatin? Okay......

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 There are direct and indirect indicators. Lab-wise, there are direct tests for yeast, but there are always lots of substances and imbalances from which you can infer a yeast problem. Additionally, there can be topical, behaviorial, and/or BM evidence of a yeast problem. I think www.danaswview.net and www.enzymestuff.com both have descriptions of yeast clues and also treatments. There are both natural and prescription remedies, special diets, enzymes, etc. if you need to tackle this problem. There are so many ways to come at this problem, and you need to find the one that works best for your child. in NJ > > With all these yeast questions lately, I'm wondering " How is it determined the child has a yeast problem?

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 We actually had a microbial oats test from Great Plains Laboratory that showed high yeast. But I could tell by their behaviour and other signs: Low ability to focus, constant jumping, extreme discomfort when off of solid ground (that comes and goes as yeast comes and goes), extremely silly, very bloated, rounded belly, night waking, shaking head back and forth. Lots and lots of signs. I am praying that getting nystatin in their system will clear this, but we will have to chelate also I am sure to get the metals out and take care of the yeast once and for all. They showed high in mercury, lead, and arsenic. Dana, Garrett, and Dana and Garrett, 3 years old SCD 1 1/2 years!!!!!

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Janice - You have got to continue treating for yeast on the OFF days as well as on days. Once you get a yeast problem going, it is a battle to keep it in check. DMSA brings on the yeast and you will have to battle it the entire time you are chelating - on days and off. We did lots of garlic bread with fresh garlic - good yeast fighter (spaghetti night), low sugar and lots of water. We were also doing Nystatin and mega probiotics. - Jepson says probiotics have to be in the 'billions, at least 10- 20 billion' to do any good. We're not chelating right now, but it is a definite possibility in our near future depending upon what the challenges show in a few months. Maybe your environmental doc can suggest something topical for him to apply to his private area to get rid of the itching? Hange in there Mom!
