Kelly Hi Kelly, Our oldest son had an overgrown yeast infection about 2 years ago... he had sever dry skin around his eyes, nose, arm pits, trunk and various other locations. We took him to doctor after doctor and they either said it was eczema or psoriasis and kept tossing medicated creams/ointments at us for topical use. All of which contained cortisone. We read up on cortisone first and decided not to take that route because of the dangers. We read "The Yeast Connection" by Dr. Crook. We followed the diet closely and also bought his cook book. Along with this, we took him to a NMD who is the only doctor that diagnosed our son with a yeast overgrowth. He gave us a prescription for Oral Nystatin and also had our son take acidopholous (sp?) in a powder form that we put in milk or in apple sauce. It has been two years since he had that and has not had any signs of a yeast overgrowth. We did get back into a less strict diet... we have had some foods like breads with yeast, switched to evaporated cane juice instead of processed sugars.... but since we have slacked for quite a while, I wonder that we shouldn't have. About a week ago he started developing eye blinking and rolling. The Ped. said he wasn't sure if it was tics because there isn't any squinting going on. He explained that a lot of brain development takes place at this age (he's almost 8 years) and that probably has to do with it. He shrugged and stated that it is common among kids at this age and that it'll probably go away. But he said to give it a week and then take him to an ophthalmologist since he isn't positive it is tics. I am wondering now if it isn't yeast related. Dr. Crook is passed on now but he has a website that other devoted to the cause maintain... I'm going to contact them and ask if there is any possible connection to our sons symptoms yeast. I hope this helps you some. Please feel free to ask any questions. Sincerely, Heather
