The Yeast Invasion

About a month ago we started to notice a steady decrease in function with both of our kids. Less talking, less sleeping and erratic behavior. As mentioned in our most recent blog posting, we immediately got an appointment with Dr. Buckley, of Jacksonville, Florida, but a month was a long time in-between.

We began researching on the internet, causes of "this" and reasons for "that". Could it be the strange complex in apples or the gluten-free grains? Were we doing something wrong? Was this the normal path autism takes??

DING DING DING...like a lightbulb met with the power of a lightning bolt we remembered something from way back when; YEAST.

A request for stool sample kits (at a costly $400) was placed and we went on a mission for poop. Yes, poop. The tell all of the gut and butt. Funny but not really; not at all.

Our kids were off the charts with fungal yeast! No wonder the regression and lack of enthusiasm for everyday life! Yeast is to our kids what LSD is to your Grandfather! No jokes intended!

With serious regiment of anti-fungals in one week we saw total transformation. Back to previous levels of verbalization, sleep patterns and GOOD MOODS! Hallelujah!
