	just wondering if anyone else has had issues with yeast affecting their child. Ryan didn't show ant of the usually signs of yeast except (occasional minor eczema) I decided to go ahead anyway and treat him naturally for yeast and after a week he has made huge improvments in language (more spontaneous), eye contact better, less hyper (I can actually take him somewhere without a meltdown). Would this mean he did infact have a yeast problem? can someone  clue me in on yeast and anything they know! THANK YOU!! Symptoms of Yeast Syndrome: Fatigue or lethargy Feeling of being drained Depression or manic depression Numbness, burning, or tingling Headaches Muscle Aches Muscle weakness or paralysis Pain and/or swelling in joints Abdominal Pain Constipation and/or diarrhea Bloating, belching or intestinal gas Attacks of anxiety or crying Cold hands or feet, low body temperature Hypothyroidism Shaking or irritable when hungry Drowsiness Irritability Poor coordination Frequent mood swings Insomnia Dizziness/loss of balance Pressure above ears...feeling of head swelling Sinus problems...tenderness of cheekbones or forehead Tendency to bruise easy Eczema, itching eyes Psoriasis Chronic hives (urticaria) Indigestion or heartburn Sensitivity to milk, wheat, corn or other common foods Mucous in stools Rectal itching Dry mouth or throat Mouth rashes including white tongue Bad breath Foot, hair, or body odor not relieved by washing Nasal congestion or post nasal drip Nasal itching Sore throat Laryngitis, loss of voice Cough or recurrent bronchitis Pain or tightness in chest Wheezing or shortness of breath Urinary frequency or urgency Burning on urination Spots in front of eyes or erratic vision Burning or tearing eyes Recurrent infections or fluid in ears Ear pain or deafness Inability to concentrate Skin problems (hives, athlete's foot, fungus infection of the nails, jock itch, psoriasis (including of the scalp) or other chronic skin rashes) Gastrointestinal symptoms (constipation, abdominal pain, diarrhea, gas, or bloating) Symptoms involving the reproductive organs Muscular and nervous system symptoms (including aching or swelling in your muscles and joints, numbness, burning or tingling, muscle weakness or paralysis) Recurrent ear problems resulting in antibiotic therapy Respiratory symptoms Lupus Hyperactivity/Attention Deficit Disorder  High sugar foods drastically increase symptoms Inflammation of the hair follicles (candidiasis folliculitis) of various parts of the body (feet, legs, arms) Extreme lethargy Diarrhea, chronic gas, abdominal cramps alleviated by bowel movements. Perhaps labeled with the term "irritable bowel syndrome" Lactose intolerance Anxiety Allergies and allergy symptoms, chemical sensitivities Panic attacks Sinus problems Eye fatigue Muscle weakness and bone pain White tongue coating Psoriasis/seborrheic dermatitis/dandruff, dry, itchy skin Rectal itching Swollen lips/face Symptoms worse after waking Facial rash Avoiding food helps to alleviate symptoms Hives Chronic inflammation and irritation of the eye and conjunctiva Feeling of being intoxicated which leads to a "hangover feeling" (due to fermentation and alcohol production by yeast) Obsessive Compulsive Disorder It does sound as though Ryan did and maybe still does have a yeast infection.  They are never that easy/quick to recover from yeast.  Just like when you take an antibiotic and the bottle says even though your feeling better continue to take the medicine.  Same deal here, he may be feeling/acting better but its unlikely that the infection is gone just yet.  Also keep in mind that if he DID have an infection that it in all likelihood means he is susceptible to getting yeast infections from here on out. momtoMatthew38798.8170601852THat sounds like my life, and so many of bobbys problems, will have to look into it more It had a tremendous effect on both of my kids.  As soon as I started the probiotics and the yeast-die off phase was over, they were doing better and where happy.  I have my dd on Nystatin because her yeast issues are so bad. Good luck.
