Could this be die Off symptoms

[Guest guest]

My two boys who have yeast issues and were getting them under control went

without acidophilus for a week due to a shipping mix up. I started seeing some

minor yeast issues, diaper rash, itchy anal area, more teeth grinding, etc.

Well, I put them back on the starter diet and they have been back on acidophilus

for six days. They have both had red cheeks, cranky dispositions, and now

is experiencing some congestion. Could this all be die off related? What can I

do for his congestion that is all natural - give even more vit C, give extra

zinc? Any suggestions would be welcome. It has been a while since we have

experienced these issues. I have learned quickly keeping acidohilus as well as

the yogurt going is very important!!

Thanks,

Dana,

We too saw this as we ran out of stuff! I think you should just keep going!

The die-off is right on as you've been adding it all back in. More vit. C is

good. Have you ever considered checking out the compendium? It has some powerful

antiviral info. as well as some really good other stuff. Email me offlist and I

will send you the link. Those who do the compendium are also on SCD. Epsom

salts baths would be good right now for them too. Jenn L

Dana,

Nasal irrigation with warm salt water.... if they'll let you do it..... works

better than any decongestant I've ever tried. One quarter teaspoon of plain

kosher salt (don't use iodized or sea salt for this) mixed until completely

dissolved, in one cup of filtered water or spring water.

I then warm it just to body temp in the microwave for 20 seconds or so....

(depends on if the water was cold to start with). I use a bulb syringe and

flush Katera's nose while she's sitting in the tub, or I stand behind her and

sort of lean her over the bathroom sink and lean her head to one side.

You can also lay the child down on their side, with a folded towell under to

catch the water (and with Daddy helping to hold them still!). If they are laying

down or tilting the head to one side, flush the TOP nostril.... and it will come

out through the bottom nostril... along with all the snot! If they're just

sitting in the tub, they can just have their head straight upright.... and if

you flush the bulb with a medium amount of even, gentle force, it will tend to

flush out the other nostril.

I know this sounds complicated, and maybe it's not for the faint hearted.... but

it really works and they feel SO much better to get all that yucky stuff out,

that they soon learn to tolerate the procedure and not breathe it in! You can

try doing this on yourself, so that you sort of learn how to do it effectively

and quickly.

Regular old Vick's Vap-O-Rub.... rubbed on their chests, works just as well as

it did when we were little kids.... and is totally legal, SCD-wise.

Also, make another big pot of chicken broth..... include some garlic, if they'll

accept it that way. If not, make it without and go back to mixing that broth in

their juice like before..... you're probably already doing that.
