Christy,

If you continue to giuve the rice and fructose you cannot make progress.

" Books " ? The

book you need is Breaking the Vicious Cycle but much of the information is

available free

on the two websites on your welcome message:

For those with yeast overgrowth...

" It is wise to cut back on honey ingestion at the beginning of the dietary

regimen (amount of honey in recipes should be decreased by at least 75%). The

amount

of honey may be increased as the condition improves. " (quote taken from BTVC)

We have found that using some form of probiotic is also helpful. Probiotics can

take the form of yogurt (made from goat, cow or nut milk), other fermented foods

(such as HOMEMADE sauerkraut or kimchi) or probiotic powder or capsules (in case

the child is not yet ready for any yogurts).

Ensuring that all vegetables and fruits foods are peeled and cooked at the

beginning is also helpful in controlling yeast overgrowth. Undigested foods can

feed microbes and delay healing.

The use of anti-fungals may be necessary. Some natural anti-fungals include:

homemade carrot juice and garlic, oil of oregano, grapefruit seed extract (GSE)

with or without enzymes. Some decide to go with prescription anti-fungals such

as Nystatin. If using both a probiotic (or yogurt) and an anti-fungal, be sure

to give them at separate times in order to preserve the live beneficial

bacteria.

Here is some info for getting started on the diet:

Since you are dealing with yeast please check out " Yeast and SCD " at

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/pecanbread/files/

I took Nystatin for a while but started having diarrhea and had to

stop. I rotated some of the natural antifungals listed at the above

link along with an enzyme that targeted yeast. I used Candizyme

because I found it locally (I live in Canada). There are a number of

enzyme options for yeast. I found this approach gentler and more

effective than the nystatin (my yeast got worse with nystatin).

Chewable multivitamins generally have added sweeteners and other

illegals so they are illegal. Some legal multivitamins can be found

at http://pecanbread.com/supplements.html

The " SCD Multivitamin " can be found at

http://www.lucyskitchenshop.com/freedavitamins.html

You can grind up the SCD multi from Lucy's shop at put it in homemade

applesauce, water or legal juice. You may also be able to grind up

some of the other legal multis, but I have only ground the SCD

(freeda) multivitamin.
