I don't know much about soya but i think she'll see some improvements in

another week or two or three from getting rid of the yeast and sugar....and

startting the nystatin should help get rid of the yeast faster...sounds like

she's on the right track. sharon c.

The issues you describe here do sound like yeast and/or high phenols.

You do mention the Nystatin, so your friend may find that to be very

helpful for her son. I will comment on the phenols. Here is my

information, you can look here or have your friend look here and see

if something here might strike her as something else to remove and/or

try.

You do mention mega B6. That can aggravate phenol issues in some

children. Is this child still on mega B6 and/or P5P supplementation?

If so, I would recommend stopping that.

Also, one of my children is major hyperactive on any type of oils, but

some he tolerates better than others. Perhaps your friend can reduce

and/or eliminate all the oils in her son's diet and see if that helps.

Has your friend considered enzymes? It can also be that her child

just basically reacts to ALL foods, and digestive enzymes can help her

child with this issue. Here is a listserv for more information on

that.

One final thought. All foods contain phenols/salicylates, just some

foods more than others. One of my kids is VERY extra sensitive to

high phenols, but maybe your friend's child is even MORE sensitive

than mine, and he just cannot process ANY phenols, which would make

life exactly like you describe, just from eating ANYTHING. I would

recommend she consider some of the ideas from my phenol information

page above, for example epsom salt baths, molybdenum, or one of the

other ideas, to help her son process the phenols he receives just by

eating.

But I do also believe the yeast treatment will help a great deal, from

what you describe here.

I hope something here helps. Good luck.
