More questions about yeast

[Guest Jennifer M]

The only testing I have done is the pyroluria one. I am trying to decide on a doctor-a DAN doctor is a couple of hours away, but I am also calling local Naturopathic doctors and asking questions. I did call one and she had no idea what I was talking about.

 

I did a topic search for yeast treatments and have been reading through the links. I feel like this should be my next testing step. I saw that different people used different treatments for yeast. I read about the Threelac and from what I understood is that Heather used this form of treatment without any diet changes? Do the other treatments for yeast all require diet changes. If so, why do more people not use Threelac-Has anyone questioned their DAN doctor and Naturopathic dr. about this. I do believe if I read correctly, Heather said her doctor said there were no dangers in this treatment. This is so overwhelming, as you know, I hope my questions don't offend someone-but these were the thoughts I had when reading through the links on this subject.

 

Heather, If you read this, thanks for sharing the story of your child--the work you and your naturpath has done is amazing. I wish you continued success

Hi Jennifer,

 

I was so impressed with Heather's success and the lack of the need for diet change, that I asked our DAN doctor about Threelac. He read the literature and said he saw no harm in trying it. There was a Japanese study that showed threelac was helpful for allergies, which is an indirect, but promising indicator.

 

So I bought it--but realized unfortunately that my son is allergic to brewer's yeast (very unusual), which I then found out it contains, so unfortunately he never went through the process--we stopped after 2 days.

 

We are doing nystatin now, and we will see. I actually had more hope with the threelac, since capryllic acid and nystatin are similar and capryllic acid didn't work for us.

 

Heather did the oxygen water with it. We still do this. My doctor saw no harm, but he didn't believe in it either.

You said capyryllic acid did not work for your son? What was the reaction of capyrylic acid?

 

thanks.

Hi efgh,

 

He had 1-2 capsules a day, and his yeast went up during that window. It could have been something else to raise the yeast, but still...

 

If I tried to give him 2-3 capsules, he would get nauseous. And he doesn't know which capsules are which, so there was no bias. It gave me shortness of breath--whether that is a reaction to the die-off I don't know, but I quit. We may be more sensitive due to low antioxidants.

 

Capryllic acid is a popular supplement for yeast, but you do need diet change. We both did have diet change--still had carbs, but no treats--for months.

 

I just started the Threelac for myself today. 1 packet a day and I will build up if possible. I will let you all know how it goes. I don't have direct yeast symptoms--tough to tell change. It likely affects food allergies though. And I believe that fungus can raise cholesterol. In a couple of months I am due for a check--it will be interesting to see how this goes. Later this winter I plan to take the Great Plains OAT test again. I still flunk the spit test, and badly.
