Nystatin??? die-off or bad reaction?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Have not written in awhile. Matteo is on the diet now for 11 months. Up

to two months ago he had been progressing well. Although he has never

stopped scripting we were happy with some other improvements. We have

discovered that fruit is a problem ,we think we had been given him to

much watermelon and things started to go backwards. We are trying

nystatin again and he is becoming irratable again. Nystatin didn't go

over well with him last time because he was in the midst of his first

terrible die off and his body was not elimanting the way it should. So

we have tried again and I am going slow with the doses and he is tired

and irratable,scripting louder and louder. Does any one have any

advice?? If friut is an issue with him does it mean the yeast is a

larger problem then what showed up on tests?? A little fustrated

because he is a limited eater and taking out fruit is upsetting. He is

on HMF probiotics ,cod liver oil, milk thistle . He is starting to have

a BM every other day instead of every day. Confused as always,

Thanks to all,

Toni,

What are the HMF probiotics? I have not heard of that brand.

You might not have to take ALL fruit out.... might just need to take a step

back and balance things out again.

Do you use any natural anti-fungals?

Dear Toni,

IF it appears that the " sweet " in things is feeding the yeast and

bad gut guys, go back to the plain and simple introductory start

that Elaine describes in her book. These foods are not that sweet

and it did the trick for us in getting rid of our daughters thrush.

Nystatin never worked this well. Plus the Nystatin caused diarrhea

and cramps and set backs. We also used the SCD goat yogurt, and

fresh garlic in her soups, known to help in battling yeast. In

order to stop the diarreah in the beginning she had to eat intro for

10 long days.

Eliane suggests only 2 to 5....but sometimes people do take longer

if they are having problems getting the dairreha to stop. She always

had a chronic sore throat...and felt lousey.

At the end of this week of Elaine's intro, she had no more outward

signs of yeast for the first time in her young life. She did have a

miserable die off though, and we used the activated charcoal and

epson salt soaks.

Her tongue was pink again and no longer coated thisck with white.

This is when we saw the most improvement in her ASD status. She

began to try to talk (never talked before)...smiled more and had

better eye contact. Acted less " shy " and we knew then that SCD was

going to work in making her more neruotypical.

After this we added the banana and the fruit but, made sure that it

was peeled and cooked. We also cut the honey way down (Elaine says

1/3)...and watered down her juice and gave more water (Elaine says

half and half with water).

7 and a half months out, we still are not able to give her much

honey or juice. She also tolerates peeled and cooked better. So you

too, may have to Go slow in introducing hard to digest foods. It

has not been easy doing SCD, but you too may see some improvement.

We can hope.

Good luck killing the yeasty beasties...it is a war no doubt!
