Help! started peptizyde, having issues
About three weeks ago I gave Sam (28 months old, 26 lbs) GSE (6 drops 3Xday) for6 days for yeast. Wow, what a difference in his behavior. Babbling in morecomplex sounds, many animal sounds when prompted, counting, signing, clapping,happy, sleeping, and most importantly NO high pitched screaming - none for thefirst time in 18 months!!
After the 6 days on GSE, I started 1/2 capsule of Peptizyde 3Xday with mealsand 1/2 capsule of Florajen probiotic 2Xday. He had a lot of rumbling noise inhis stomach, frequent, high volume loose stools, and reduced appetite and abarking type cough but no congestion or other signs of a cold. I stayed withthis for about 7 days with no signs of improvement with time.
So this week (for the past 5 days) I discontinued the Florajen and stayed withthe Peptizyde 1/2 cap 3Xday. His stools are better but he is irritable, putshis hands over his ears, flicks his right ear, refuses to nap in his bed (in thepast, he has always liked his bed and been happy about going down for naps). Hestill has decreased appetite and some rumbling in his stomach (less than before)and he still has this cough. But most disheartening, he’s back to high-pitchedSCREAMING when he is upset, interrupted or has to transition to anotheractivity. Interestingly, along with the bad behavior, he’s continued theimprovements he gained while on GSE. What I mean is he shows no regression inlanguage, etc.
Can anyone help explain what’s going on and what should be my next step? He’salso GFCF, on Brainchild Spectrum Support II and CLO.

These are all signs of yeast overgrowth for my son.

Not sure I understand your timeline. You write that he was worse thanbefore GSE, but you have removed it? Does this mean that he was bad,you gave GSE and he improved, then you removed the GSE and he wasworse than BEFORE the GSE? If so, you might be dealing with yeast andbacteria. Try throwing a lot of probiotics at him, see if that helps.
You can try giving GSE again for a few days, see if that helps, thengo to probiotics.
I would add No-Fenol along with the probiotics and/or GSE. Maybe evensome Candidase.
