yeast flare or die-off?

August 11, 2010

Our first " longer " chelation weekend (Friday through Monday) ended 10

days ago, and we got some wonderful gains: better eye contact, less

anxiety, and an imaginary friend! (Ds is 10 years old, PDD-NOS, 140

lbs) The yeast appeared to be under control while I was giving DMSA

and ALA (along with biotin 15,000 mcg 3 x day plus 5,000 mcg

additional with each chelation dose; probiotics at bedtime; No-Fenol;

and 1 GSE per day). However, despite continuing the biotin and

No-Fenol after the chelation doses ended, he's been passing lots of

gas and the small skin bumps (that I now know for him are

yeast-related if not yeast-caused) have increased. Is this die-off?

Or, a yeast flare? I know I'm giving him good stuff to fight yeast but

I may not be giving it in the best combinations and/or doses. I'd love

some help with this.

Any advice?

TIA,

That's plenty of biotin, but I suggest you continue to give the GSE post-round.

Consider adding some other yeast-fighters like caprylic acid, Candida Clear,

coconut oil...

Are you giving zinc? What does of probiotics are you giving? You need a very

potent one. Digestive enzymes are helpful as well; we use Trienza or Thorne's

Dipan.

GSE seems to help, but he does react to the phenols. I give 1 No-Fenol

(digestive enzyme) with 1 GSE capsule -- should I give more No-Fenols?

I've bought some coconut oil gels (from NOW brand, discussed recently

on the list). I've given them once, and need to get them into ds'

regular supplement schedule. (Coconut oil applied topically was a

break-through for us. Big help! But I think he's absorbing as much as

he can through his skin and can use more delivered orally.)

He gets 60 mg (mcg?) zinc per day -- actually, 90, because his

calcium-magnesium supp contains some zinc.

Trienza didn't work as well for us as Houston's Peptizyde, so we use the latter.

For pro-biotics, we use Klaire's Ther Biotic Detox capsules, 4 daily

at bedtime. Should I give more at a different time of day, or divide

the four up?

Thank you!
