About to go yeast free only need meal advice...

[Guest guest]

I just posted earlier this week as a new member of this list. My son

is not on the spectrum but has Sensory Integration Dys BIGTIME,

craves

proprioceptive contact, and is " hand flapping while hopping

stim-man " .He has secondary anxiety and a mild expressive speech

problem due to the SId. He speaks really well and articulates well

but

gets things jumbled sometimes on their way out. Difficulty with " wh "

questions. He's a little over 4.5 yrs.

ANYWAY, his dev ped (who dx him)wants me to go yeast free for 1 week

then add nystatin or diflucan. Then after a week of the diet and

anitfungal see how he's doing. After 2 more weeks of yf and

antifungal (1 month total) if she doesn't see major changes, she

wants

me to go cf for 3 weeks and if there's no significant improvement

then, tack on the gf. Along with this stuff Ben will be doing OT and

ST.

Ok. Ben is a SUAGRHOLIC. Since his dx I have been really paying

more attn to how often he wants something sugary. My GOD, I thought

I

was bad!! This kid is AMAZING! Not an hour elapses and he needs more

sweet stuff: candy, cookies, ice cream etc...

What the heck am I gonna feed him? I know from my research that kid

on gf/cf do have sugar. Ben is not going to be allowed much of

anything. I am petrified, just PETRIFIED of living with him when

those yeastie beasies die off. I know this may sound stupid, I mean

I'm 35 and he's almost 5. I am bigger and stronger (and smarter)

than

he is, yet Ben's reaction (and I KNOW IT'LL BE BAD) has got me

feeling

like a little kid myself. I am mentally running away in my mind.

Scared to face this and the work it involves. Yet I know I HAVE to do

this. How do I start. If anyone is willing to give me a step by step

guide to revamping the pantry and fridge and a few easy yeast free

things I can feed him that first week I would be ETERNALLY GRATEFUL!

I live in Atlanta and have a great Farmer's Market and a Whole Foods

nearby.

I have ADHD and the only stimulant I take for it is coffee and then,

not even that regularly. I get VERY EASILY OVERWHELMED! That's why,

in order for me to really stick to this for my son's sake, I need to

do this in small steps and slowly. I am great at researching and

horrible at implementation. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What does NT mean???when placed after a child's name???
