yeast sensativity-bananas,apples

October 16, 2006

HI All,

I have come to a conclusion about my son,his is sensative to yeast.

We never did the intro diet because my son is such a picky eater and I

was not strong enough. Through trial an error we found out that he was

sensative to almonds ,bananas and I believe apples. When ever we took

out an offensive food we saw more improvements. Since we had taken away

the raw bananas and apples we gave him watermelon(raw-seedless)Life was

crazy for us as we were buildning a home .We have seen him regress alot

in the last two months.We have taken the watermelon away. If bananas

and apples raw are not good for him will adding them cooked into

recipes be any different? Fruit was the easy snack and now I feel

lost in what to replace it with. I would also say that his gut has some

way to go and I need to get more serios about antifungals,any advice

would be appreciated as the fustration is mounting. My son was doing

well until the last two months,I stopped the nystatin because i think

there may have been some illegals in it. I need some engouraging to

keep on ,I wasn't expecting this regression just because of

watermelon. Thanks for listening . Toni to Matteo ASD mod- to high

Cooked foods are different from raw foods. Cooking will inactivate

things that a person may otherwise be reacting to. This is often

referred to as an 'oral allergy'.

For example, if I eat a whole raw banana, I get numb lips and a

buzzing sensation (uncomfortable yet interesting)... How is a child

supposed to relay that type of info.?

However, I can eat an unlimited amount of cooked banana product

without issue.

So you see, cooking does change things.

Watermelon is a reactive food for many people. I don't yet know why

this is, I just know that we have issues with it in our family and I

have spoken with MANY other people who have trouble with it.

What about pears? What about other 'kinds' of apples. Each form of

apple has a different chemistry makeup.

Stewed pears are easy to make once a week. Jar them. Store them in

the fridge... And there is your breakfast for the rest of the week.

What about kiwi? papaya? mango? peaches? nectarines?

In a couple of weeks I might suggest adding in blueberries and

cantalope. With pears, you will then have 7 fruits to play with.

You may have to finish the nystatin regimen in order to get him to a

good starting place. However, you may want to look into oregano water

or oil. I know that studies have shown that oregano water will stop

growth of staph and, to a degree, E-coli but I do not remember

yeast... however, it may be worth looking into that for you. Try

google scholar.

Remember that Elaine did say,something to the effect, that if you need

a medicine, you need it. Take it and then do the best you can with

the rest of life. I'm not sure if Nystatin is legal or not but I'm

sure someone else here will be able to answer that. Hopefully they

will suggest some more fruits too.

Kind regards,

KimS

Toni,

Have you tried the SCD goat yogurt? That is the best yeast fighter!

Start out with tiny amounts such as 1/16 of a teaspoon.
