Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Hi , Sorry he's having such an awful time with this yeast die-off. Are you using activated charcoal? It can really help with " soaking up " the toxins from die-off. Epsom salts baths can help with de-toxing, too... make him calmer and more comfortable. Have you been using the SCD yogurt... or supplementing with acidophilus the whole time on SCD? I know that yeast can be very opportunistic and like to move in and take up the space left behind by dying bacterial colonies. That's why the yogurt/acidophilus is so important... the good flora takes the space that yeast would otherwise take over. We had one mom swear by fresh carrot juice with fresh garlic pressed into it... as the BEST yeast remedy she'd ever tried. I also know some parents feel that while Nystatin and other prescription meds seem to be effective, they've seen yeast bounce right back (sort of a rebound effect) as soon as the medication is stopped. I had first hand experience with this when my oldest son (neurotypical) had a yeast infection after antibiotics as a baby... and was treated with Nystatin. Patti Nystatin issues! Hi All, My son has been on the SCD diet for about 2 1/2 months now. We just found out from our Dr. that he has HUGE............. yeast issues!!!! She started him on Nystatin (SCD LEGAL) 8 days ago and he is a mess. I know she said there would be a die off stage up until the 8th day and then she said we should see him less stimmy, and OCD should calm down too. Well it is day 9 today and he is on 1tsp before every main meal and bed and he is very irritable and OCD. The good news is he is having a lot of bowel movements per day and are normal, so I know that bad stuff is coming out. Has anyone experienced this before and am I expecting results too soon or should we talk about moving him on to somthing stronger like Dyflucan? Thanks, Son 4 1/2 PDD-NOS-LYMPHOID HYPERPLASIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 ---In the Autism books I have read there is a natural die off peirod at 2 to 3 months. I know my son started to go through this on his own then I started him on a yeast treatment and sent him over the edge in behaviors. I have heard alot of moms say that during yeast die off behavior problems worse. This diet to my family has shown to be more effective then I ever imagined. I even stopped the yeast treatment till after the 3 weeks of natural die off with my son- to lighten his load becausse the diet itself was enough at the time.
