Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hello, The side effects weren't too bad with this one for us. But it wasn't as good as Diflucan either. It did the job though - improved my son's sensory issues, giggling and sleep as well as urinary accidents. I read that it is tougher on the liver than Diflucan is. So make sure that is monitored. Hope this helps. thedyes <threebabygirs@...> wrote: My doctor prescribed 1 month of Ketocanzole to help fight yeast? Just wanted to know if anyone had any luck with this or bad side effects?

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Can treating yeast with prescription antifungals help with sensory issues as well? My boys are very hyposensitive and very sensory seeking. They are ALWAYS on the move and havea hard time sitting down to focus or even enjoy properly playing with toys.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Yes - this has clearly been my experience. The trouble is, well I guess it depends how severe your boys' issues are to begin with. My son's yeast is pretty bad...and this has prevented us from doing too much good chelation that he needs b/c chelation will bring on more yeast....so we would have yeast under control (by the Ketoconazole or other stuff for yeast), then we would chelate, then the yeast would get out of control,so we would stop chelating so that we can get the yeast back down. Point is, if you chelate (but too often yeast protocols need to be upped for other reasons than chelation; i.e. a virus can throw off an already compromised immune system and allow yeast to grow back in), you need to watch yeast. So as the yeast is better, your boys' sensory issues may improve. You also have to watch that bacteria do not overgrow as a result of wiping out yeast. So you have to use a good probiotic in combination with the Ketoconazole (bot give these hours away from the Ketoconazole). I have often been amazed by what a good yeast protocol can do in terms of sensory issues and receptive language. My son at these times is acting like a neurotypical child, except, well, that he does not talk. dana pope <danamichellepope@...> wrote: Can treating yeast with prescription antifungals help with sensory issues as well?

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Thanks so much! We actually have Nystatin but I have yet to use it with them. We have not used any prescription antifungals yet, but I noticed every time they would get an upper respiratory infection yeast type issues would come back full force. One of my boys will not sit on the toilet because he acts like he is afraid he is going to fall. Heights or being off solid ground are a major issue for him and so potty training has been out. What is a good probiotic to use? Right now we are using goat yogurt made with progurt and acidophilus capsules. Pattison <egerpatt@...> wrote: Yes - this has clearly been my experience.

Just > wanted to know if anyone had any luck with this or bad side effects? > Thanks, Sheila > Hi Sheila, Have you tried to contain this with supplements first?? After one round of Keto we only saw a mild decrease in our son's yeast, and disproportionately high increase in Clostridia/bacterials. Aggressive use of probiotics and supplements seem to have kicked the @$$ of both of the above rather impressively. Things that seem to have worked here include probiotics like: Sac-B Threelac Primal Defense Ultra Culturelle etc and supplements like Grapefruit Seed Extract (try a few drops of the one suggested by dana of Dana's view for only a few days) [we also used several others, but I'm not looking at the bottles now, and this brain is tired after a long day] Some enzymes (No-Fenol?) from Houston Nutriceuticals and (Candidase from) Enzymedica apparently help breakdown the yeast walls which will help further if you need it. Take the probiotics on an empty stomach an hour before meals and 2 hours after meals at every available slot during the day. (e.g. first thing in the AM, last thing in the PM, and 2-3 more times during the day). Dana/Andy would probably recommend biotin to help control yeast as well, and apparently have found good success with it. I can't tell you which of the above that we used was essential in doing the trick for our son, but I can tell you that the yeast die-off was something else. You might want some charcoal capsules around... You can scale down the above when the issue abates. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Ketoconazole is another name for Nizoral. Used by many of our kids. > > My doctor prescribed 1 month of Ketocanzole to help fight yeast?

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 We just started it last weekend and we're seeing some nice things. My son is markedly calmer and more focused.

My boys are very hyposensitive and very sensory seeking. They are ALWAYS on the move and havea hard time sitting down to focus or even enjoy properly playing with toys. Can treating yeast help with these issues? Probably 1/3 to 1/2 of my #3's sensory issues were related to yeast. I used non-prescription tho.

Yep. One thing that can help is observing the exact pattern of yeast during chelation -- does it hit the afternoon of the second day? Or whenever -- and then increase your yeastkillers a little before that. Yeast got a lot better at about round 55. Never any die-off, often just a dose or two of GSE with immediate improvement. Considering how bad things used to be, that was an amazing improvement. Nell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want some charcoal capsules around... > > > What was die-off like at your house? > Lots of moaning about an upset stomach, bed wetting, irritability and seemed to be uncomfortable/wanting to come out of his skin, etc. [search this list and the danasview site for other anti-fungals and anti-bacterials like Pau D'Arco, Biocidin, Lauricidin, caprycillic acid, Oil of Oregano, etc. We rotated those every 3-4 days to mimic what Dana described and it worked wonderfully.] The charcoal helped the stomach. As hard as that is to watch/support, you'll really like the results soon afterwards (within 2 days, I'd say). Every kid has different tolerances for things like probiotics, and even that varied over time here as his gut improved. Initially he might have diarrhea when we gave him too large of a dose of probiotics before he could handle it. [That's common, and the only side-effect I've heard mentioned.] Later, he might get a tummy ache if the probiotics were a bit much. Empty stomach, as described before... Best of luck. Be aggressive, figure out what works, and keep a strict schedule. Eventually you'll win if you're vigilant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
