Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Teri – I’m on Brainchild so not that familiar with answering your questions on dosing. But by the adults, do ¼ or ½, introduce one at a time to see if any reactions and go slow! Stick with this list and you’ll get an idea on what other parents are doing their child. But….I’m a pro at food allergies. My nt 5 year old is allergic to peanuts, so we avoided all tree nuts too. But, I had him tested last fall and we did almonds, walnuts, hazel, he was positive to all. So….it is possible to be fine with one and not the other, peanuts or tree nuts, and I guess it depends on “how allergic”. My guys worst allergies is soy and peanuts, class IV and although he’s had one case of ingesting peanuts, I can only attest he is very sensitive to soy. Did they test peas, green beans, something we eat more often than a pinto bean? Some with a soy/legume allergy can eat peas and beans, others can not. Everyone is just different and you’ll just need to play around with the diet and see. I would say make yourself a totally clean diet and then try and see what happens. For my son it is his skin to show any allergy problems. I might also think he has a cold coming on, stuffed up and then sometimes I think his asthma is acting up, always at bed time. Amazing how we have none of those issues with a clean diet. There is no one answer. Do you have a peanut allergy too? But I would avoid tree nuts and peanuts if you are not sure about peanuts too. Tammy please read post #110933:also how to interpret IgG? Hi I posted on the 17th, but have not received any response --I know everyone is busy but could someone please take a look at post #110933. I am not sure where to begin with anti yeast, how much biotin, GSE, zinc, etc. I have a bunch of supplements in my cupboard but am very unsure how to proceed. Also, does anyone know how I can interpret IgG results? If a child scores very high on Almonds, for example-does that indicate all tree nuts should be removed from diet? If they test high to pinto beans, do I withdraw all legumes from diet, including lentils? I would so appreciate some feedback.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Start with a spreadsheet literally - that's what I do is put the current protocol into spreadsheet format and tape it to the inside of the vitamin cupboard. RE: IgG - you can get high results on things that have been in the diet daily but may not be a problem long term. But, the more problem stuff you eliminate, the more reduction in inflammation you should see. In my son's case he came back with apples as a 3 -- but he had been having an item with apples about 3 times a day - applesauce, juice, fruit sweetened items, fruit leathers, at the time of the test, so I knew that apples might not be " evil " but should be avoided. It's really hard to tell you how to start - everything is so individual. The general rule of thumb is add something, wait 5 -7 days add something else or increase the dose of something. It's can be painfully slow! > > Hi > I posted on the 17th, but have not received any response --I know everyone is busy but > could someone please take a look at post #110933.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Based on what I've read on this and other lists, it sounds like yeast can also cause the anxiety adn gagging that your older son is having. Yeast metabolites can overwhelm a person's detox systems and the backup in toxins can cause sensory issues like gagging. Have you had him cultured for strep? Does he show any signs of OCD? It could be PANDAS, although that may be a longshot. Although, if they've been on SCD, I thought SCD was supposed to take care of yeast. As for trying the yeast, I agree about starting one thing at a itme and going slowly, watching for die-off signs. I think Dana has a whole section on her site about yeast protocol if you want to look that up. As for the doctor's suggestion of addressing food sensitivities with your daughter before yeast, I've read that yeast can cause food sensitivities, so you may be stuck in a viscious cycle. Do you do things like glutathione support to help heal the gut? We've found epsom salt baths to be helpful too, probably as a source of sulfate which is really important for gut health. If you read back through old posts on yeast and gut healing I think you'll find tons of info.

Consider removing the food family. http://www.innvista.com/health/foods/families.htm At my house, my son tolerated no foods, but with HNI enzymes, he tolerated most foods.
