Nell/was: Re: how to get yeast under control

[Guest guest]

> ====>Nell, this is puzzling, wondering what caused this, the reactions while

on SCD?

Did you take him off SCD and if you did how long did it take before he was not

reacting to

things?

My take on it is that he had a leaky gut and very bad yeast and bacteria along

with a severe

intolerance to phenols and almost all artificials. Enzymes helped some, in fact

they gave

me real glimpses of the actual boy, but those improvements did not stick. He

improved at

first on SCD, but after about 6 months he was reacting to plain hamburger and

frozen peas

-- I think because after taking out G and C, eventually his body began reacting

to

whatever we replaced the G and C with, since those molecules were leaving his

leaky gut

and roaming around where they didn't belong.

At that point, when the strictest diet + enzymes + a cupboardful of

antibacterials and

antifungals did not solve the yeast or food reaction problem -- in fact he was

worse --

that was when I started to chelate. In about 15 rounds his phenol intolerance

was much

better and he could tolerate phenolic whole foods with No-Fenol.

When we left SCD, I just tried a variety of foods and avoided anything he

reacted to, but

mostly I just tried to keep his diet organic and whole foods with as little

processed stuff as

possible, no hydrogenated fats ever, no artificials. There was a longish phase

here when

he was reacting to foods more mildly (not a week-long screamfest) and if I had

been more

on the ball maybe I could have sorted it out -- but it seemed to change around

anyway.

Eventually, maybe in another 9 months of chelating, he could eat anything but

artificials as

long as he took enzymes (Houston, all 3, every meal and snack).

That phase lasted for years. Eventually, I'll have to try to look up at what

round, he didn't

need enzymes and he could eat artificials, not that I'm shopping for them but I

don't have

to freak out if he gets a piece of candy at school or something.

So the short answer is, it took years of chelating. A long time. But it really

did work!
