Dear Natalie,
After a year of dye free Nystatin formoulated by the
Apothecary at $85 a month, we switched to Biocidin,
an herbal product reccomended in Dr Shaw's book "Biological
Treatments for Autism and PDD." You can buy it from
Emerson Ecologics at 1-800-654-4432. You won't need
a prescription, but you might feel more comfortable
chcking with Dr. Shaw first. It only requires a few
drops but you need to mix it in something like orange
juice because it has a taste. (I didn't need to do the
Yeast Free Diet. It is hard enough to do gluten casine
free.)
A month later we retested (Great Smokies
Comprhensive Digestive Stool Analysis)and the yeast
and bacteria were within normal limits. In that month,
Joshua's pronunciation, eye contact and level of awareness
improved. I don't think Nystatin was good enough.
The first week there was very messy stool,
and lethargy. He would fall asleep on the floor in the
middle of the day. I guess withdrawl.
Good luck,
Jen
