Guest guest Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 hi, we are about 6 weeks in, my daughter has a leaky gut and yeast overgrowth. she was on nystatin beginning in march, and we continued it during the intro because i was afraid not to. anyway, i think she has a yeast problem again as i know it can happen at the beginning of the diet and i googled the symptoms and she has quite a few of them: laughing inappropriately, bloated, craving sweets, acts spacy at times, etc. we are on a very basic diet, we pulled eggs although i'm not sure if they were causing anything bad or not, also chicken. she generally eats various meats either in ground form and broiled or steamed and then pureed. the only fruit she has is thickly peeled pears made into diluted pearsauce (maybe 1/2 cup per day) and then the juice from the pears cooking diluted as gelatin. we probably go through about 5 pears per week total. she has no honey. we do a few veggies, all peeled, deseeded, cooked until very tender and then pureed - white asparagus, butternut squash, yellow zucchini (double peeled, she has phenol issues) i pulled green beans and avocado. all of her supplements are legal. her stools are firm, she strains a bit but goes 2 x per day. so my guess is yeast because i can't see what else it could be? i think that maybe when we switched over from illegal (but abbout 100 billion per day) to legal (9 billion per day) probiotics that maybe the yeast took over that space? i talk to her dr tomorrow but in the meantime i added gse and a tiny bit of virgin coconut oil. my question is, should i introduce the yogurt now or should i wait until some of this yeast dies off, which it hopefully will. sorry this post is so long, i just wanted to give you all possilble relevant info. thanks for reading this!!! emma zoe 4 ava 5 mos all 6 weeks scd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yogurt may help get rid of the yeast. Start small and gradually increase to keep die off at comfortable levels (and not overwhelm her) Yeast tips: See http://pecanbread.com/new/yeast.html Sheila, SCD Feb. 2001, UC 23yrs, PCOD 22yrs mom of and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
