reactions to food or die-off

[Guest guest]

To start off, my book hasn't arrived yet, but I've read everything else I can

get my hands on. My son and I have been doing the diet since Wednesday. I do see

some improvements in my son's behavior, but sometimes he will act a little

crazy. He will get giggly and do things he knows he's not suppose to do and then

tell you he's doing it. He giggles like he's drunk. Before the diet when he got

this way there wasn't much you could do about it except wait for it to wear off,

but now he seems to get over it faster. My question is, when do you know

something is a food reaction or a yeast die-off. I've read the list for what

die-off is, but I feel stressed over this. I'm so afraid I'm going to miss foods

that he is reacting too and then mess the whole diet up by feeding them to him.

I am keeping a food journal to try to figure it out. Today, I did notice he

started getting a little pinkish-purple on his bottom eye lids. I know this is a

food reaction, but I can't figure out what caused it. He had the chicken

pancake, which he's been eating and I don't think is having a problem with. He

also ate zucchini " muffins " made with zucchini, eggs, cinnamon and vanilla. How

do I know which ingredient it is? We are on stage 1 so we don't have many foods

we're eating yet. He won't eat zucchini plain so I can't test it without making

it into something like the muffins, but then I don't know what he's reacting to.

Sorry to be so confused.

How long did you stay on the intro? The intro diet allows the bad

stuff to clear out of the body and often allows parents to see what

die off looks like. The usual symptoms are listed at

The giggling is often reported when there is a yeast overgrowth.

Sounds like a positive that the episodes are shorter.

Thanks Sheila for the link. We did the intro diet for 2 1/2 days. I'm trying to

take it slowly. I'm seeing some improvement in behavior and less sound

sensitivity. (He rides on his bus without his fingers in his ears for the first

time)

Try giving him activated charcoal tablets, this will absorb the toxins In

the gut along with the yeast, you can buy them at any pharmacy… this will

work , I promise….
