What gives? Any ideas? My son did not tolerate anything orange or green [and several reds and yellows] until I corrected his body's inability to convert carotenes.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I have read a little about carotenes in this list serve, but there is woefully little info on the web. My son has a problems with apples! Just apples, as far as we can tell. Turns his poop a nasty yellow/green and the texture is really gross. I suspect the apples irritate his gut and then all kinds of foods bother him. I just read that apples contain a lot of carotenes, and also B complex vitamins including B6 and folic acid. We are avoiding B vitamins right now because of yeast. Could the apples be feeding the yeast? Also, I read that the pectin is a good detox material. I have to wonder about that too. Since we took apples away, months ago, things have been better than ever with more attention, more talking...and he had 3 apples last week right before an intestinal set-back. I hate to deny him a healthy food (and his favorite!) for nothing. Anyone have thoughts? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 You can simply be allergic to apples. My son was and with age, seems to tolerate one now and again just fine. Just because healthy, doesn't mean much. Look at strawberries or bananas. I would also look into the Feingold diet and they silicate issue. Tammy Re: reaction to green beans?!

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Apples, especially minus the peel posed significant digestive issues for both our son and daughter. No-Fenol by Houston Enzymes, making eating the peel a part of the process and addressing the sugar processing issues and byproduct issues cleared up the situation for both children. Overgrowth of bacteria and or yeast can make eating even a regular piece of fruit problematic. For our daughter it was the aluminum in her DTaP shot that disrupted her sugar processing. Europeans discovered this issue as mercury was removed from their vaccines first and they're a bit ahead of us on this curve. We addressed the aluminum for our daughter with a chelating agent. It was all natural and wonderfully effective and gentle. At the same time we addressed the bacteria and yeast overgrowth that had come to exist in her gut. We used 7-10 drops of GSE twice daily with meals and followed at bedtime with two Culturelle ( a probiotic). We used Epsom salt baths as we saw behavior issues. We went too far though and she had vaginal itching and so we used Oil of Oregano for a brief two weeks at 2-4 drops again at each meal. Vaginal itching went away as did food issues. We continue with Culturelle, one capsule at bedtime, and limit processed sugars. All fruit is okay again and her bowels are leveled out. The No Fenol and other enzymes were crucial at mealtimes while we were working on these other issues. Plus they helped her handle the GSE and then OoO without gas or other discomfort.

It did take a lot of researching to find the info I needed to correct this problem for my son. >>My son has a problems with apples! Just apples, as far as we can tell.

Could the apples be feeding the yeast? Yes, apples increase yeast. They are also high phenol. Does he have this problem with pears? Apples and pears are from the same food family.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Yes, apples can definitely feed yeast and also have natural food chemcials called phenols and salicylates. Alot of these kids have significant sensitivities to these natural occuring food chemcials.
