Die Off of Five Year Old Boy Diagnosed With Autism
Die Off of Five Year Old Boy Diagnosed With Autism
We have a five year old boy diagnosed with autism. He had 4 rounds of antibiotics in his first year and tested positive through his naturopath for a yeast overgrowth – the suggestion being that an infant with yeast overgrowth may appear autistic since normal development would be near impossible in that condition.
We started the candida diet with nystatin two weeks ago. This past week has been marked by a bad cold and, starting today, a fever. He has been extremely lethargic all week as well. It has us thinking of stopping here and now. Does this strike any of you as being typical of a yeast die-off and if so, how long does it last?
First comment:
It sounds typical to me. Although I never experienced a fever. What is recommended is to back off on the antifungal until the die-off symptoms subside some. You can reduce the dose or skip it a few days. It usually takes a bowel movement from me to have die-off relief. One addition to this therapy is keeping the bowels moving regular if possible. No need to go to extremes though. I haven’t had experience with children, just my personal experiences. We have to remember that children cannot communicate their ills and feeling to us. Hope I helped some.
Second reply:
this could be a die-off for your son, reduce his intake if he is feeling really bad, you need to make sure his bowels are going good every day at least a couple of times. once he has a bowel movement he will feel sooo much better. you get flu like symptoms, after he feels better keep up with his meds and gradually get back up to the same dose he was taking before he felt bad. lots of distilled water will help with the die off. is he taking any meds for his Autism? i have mentioned before i have 2 grandsons with this, 1 aspergers, bio-polar, & speech problems and the other one doesn’t have all the problems as the first, but i cannot convince my daughter they have yeast, & their diet of course is limited & i really believe she doesn’t have the heart or strength to do anything about it, this past summer she had a stroke from her yeast & still doesn’t have all her memory back & i don’t think she will. i fought with her Dr’s in the hosp to PLEASE TEST her for yeast & they refused. running out of room. let me know
Third reply:
Meanwhile the die off sympthoms are worsening why do you not change the nystatin by a product with garlic?
