Lethargic, vomiting...need reassurance!

[Guest guest]

My son has been on the diet since May 10th. He had developed some new

stims and as of yesterday is lethargic and vomiting with a fever as

well. I recall this being a die-off reaction, but would like some

reassurance than we are on the right track. Any advice would be greatly

appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi ,

These are the typical die off reactions.; the pathogenic gram negative

bacteria emit LPS when they die. Congratulations for getting rid of

the gram negative bacteria!!

The website below will show you how important it is to get rid of the

gram negative bacteria:

Have you read this section?

I read that green tea and S Boulardii help. Please let me know if that

helps. I also read that green tea contains fluoride, so only use it

until the die off ends. More info about S Boulardii :

If the die off continues for very long then ask for more help.

Please update me on the effects of the green tea and S Boulardii

Below is a scientific article showing how the probiotic yeast

Saccharomyces boulardii exerts an anti-inflammatory effect on the

damage caused by LPS, a bacterial toxin. If you find it too hard to

understand I will see if I can find an easier article.

Saccharomyces boulardii produces a soluble anti-inflammatory factor

that inhibits NF-kappaB-mediated IL-8 gene expression.

Saccharomyces boulardii (Sb) is a non-pathogenic yeast that

ameliorates intestinal injury and inflammation caused by a wide

variety of enteric pathogens. We hypothesized that Sb may exert its

probiotic effects by modulation of host cell signaling and

pro-inflammatory gene expression. Human HT-29 colonocytes and THP-1

monocytes were stimulated with IL-1beta, TNFalpha or LPS in the

presence or absence of Sb culture supernatant (SbS). IL-8 protein and

mRNA levels were measured by ELISA and RT-PCR, respectively. The

effect of SbS on IkappaB alpha degradation was studied by Western

blotting and on NF-kappaB-DNA binding by EMSA. NF-kappaB-regulated

gene expression was evaluated by transient transfection of THP-1 cells

with a NF-kappaB-responsive luciferase reporter gene. SbS inhibited

IL-8 protein production in IL-1beta or TNFalpha stimulated HT-29 cells

(by 75% and 85%, respectively; P<0.001) and prevented IL-1beta-induced

up-regulation of IL-8 mRNA. SbS also inhibited IL-8 production,

prevented IkappaB alpha degradation, and reduced both NF-kappaB-DNA

binding and NF-kappaB reporter gene up-regulation in IL-1beta or

LPS-stimulated THP-1 cells. Purification and characterization studies

indicate that the S. boulardii anti-inflammatory factor (SAIF) is

small (<1 kDa), heat stable, and water soluble. The probiotic yeast

Saccharomyces boulardii exerts an anti-inflammatory effect by

producing a low molecular weight soluble factor that blocks NF-kappaB

activation and NF-kappaB-mediated IL-8 gene expression in intestinal

epithelial cells and monocytes. SAIF may mediate, at least in part,

the beneficial effects of Saccharomyces boulardii in infectious and

non-infectious human intestinal disease.

,

This could definitely be die off. Please give us a list of all of the

foods/drinks he is consuming, and how they are being prepared. Also, any

medications or supplements is helpful as well.
