What’s wrong with Bifidobacterium lactis (bifidum) anyway?

So, I’ve revamped Nicholas’s supplement routine, which included the removal of Kirkman’s Pro-Bio Defense.  He will be on the SCD diet and this is illegal on this diet, because of the bifidus, but I’ve been curious to know, “What’s wrong with the bifidus?”  Afterall, I’m searching for yogurt to make my own with and wouldn’t […]

Bear with me, I’m changing supplements again!

and here’s why….  ever since I stopped the pro-biotics for 4-5 days and then restarted them (for his microbiology stool test) – something hasn’t been right.  Now, he apparently has strep bacteria and is showing signs of PANDAS, which he NEVER did before.  I just read that it’s been mentioned by parents who have noticed […]

Day 4: Diflucan

Nicholas seems to be getting back to being himself.  Although it’s getting hard to keep him IN the house.  It’s been beautiful here – and he just wants to be outside at all times! Grandma and Mommy took Nicholas to Chili’s today for lunch.  He was a bit apprehensive about getting into the booth – […]

Day 3: Diflucan

He seems to be getting better.  Not pooping much, even with oxypowder – which says that he’s terribly constipated due to the yeast die-off.  Gotta up the oxypowder…  We spent alot of time outside today.  He really loves being outside.  Playing in water, the sandbox, driving his car, etc – just loves it.  I cringe […]

Day 2: Diflucan

Nicholas hasn’t been himself since we started the diflucan.  He’s not necessarily being bad, he just isn’t “him”.  Tonight after his bath, he climbed into our bed and just lied there watching tv – it was not like him at all.  I’m sure he feels awful – his appetite at dinner seems smaller.  After school, […]

Day 1: Diflucan

I threw in the towel on fighting the yeast myself and had the dr call in an Rx for diflucan.  Here’s hoping it does something!!

What am I working on now?

I have so much floating around in my head this past week, I need a place to keep my thoughts straight – here it is.  If you have something to contribute – by all means – email me at momatrecoveringnicholas.com, replace “at” with the @. Here’s my laundry list: I have Nicholas’s current microbiology results […]

New Supplement added today

I added EnZym-Complete/DPP-IV from Kirkmanlabs.com Why did I add this?  Antibodies against casien and gluten cross react to lymphocytes containing CD26 & CD69.  CD26 is a receptor protein expressed on a digestive enzyme called DPP-IV which is used to digest gluten and casein peptides.  Abnormalities in this enzyme might explain why they have both gluten and […]
