Following an ADHD diet rich in protein and vitamins can help control symptoms of attention deficit. Since everyone and their cat (literally) is on a special diet, you’ve likely wondered at least once if you might have a food allergy or intolerance too. The Yeast Beast and Our Yeast Protocol – All Natural Mom. They say 1. 00% of kids with autism have yeast overgrowth, so you better know how to treat it. I would add that most if not all kids with ADHD and other learning disorders also have yeast overgrowth. Almost all overweight people also have yeast overgrowth. Yeast is a beast that you do not want to meet or feed. It affects behavior, learning, moods, digestion, and overall health. If left untreated, it multiplies and can migrate outside the gut to the lungs, brain, ears, and as all women know, that private area. When it migrates outside the gut you will see symptoms such as vaginal yeast infections, diaper rashes, ear infections, dandruff, asthma, food allergies, unclear thinking/fogginess, ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, learning disorders, headaches, digestive issues, plus more. My daughter had too many food allergies (eggs and almonds being a couple so we never tried SCD or GAPS with her). When we see symptoms of yeast, we up our yeast protocol. When we do not see big signs of yeast, we just do maintenance, knowing that it is pretty much always there and to prevent it from getting out of control. Before starting biomed to treat autism (using diet, supplements, tests, and research to treat conditions), I thought yeast overgrowth had only to do with yeast infections in women. Anyone can have yeast overgrowth and many people do and don’t realize it. For kids with autism, the problem is magnified because along with yeast overgrowth, these kids have many more medical issues which make it hard to rid yeast for good. Those being, having an impaired immune system which allows the yeast to grow out of control. In a normally functioning person without an impaired immune system, the body attacks the yeast when it starts to grow out of control. This function is impaired in kids with autism, and the yeast just grow and grow and take over, causing oh so many unwanted symptoms and behaviors. My name is Sue Dengate. See these pages for: Independent science-based information about food intolerance Support for families using a low-chemical elimination diet. I read your book The Paleo Diet several years ago and on page 122 you mention that “Canning also increases the level of oxidized cholesterol in fish, specifically. ![]() According to the American Dietetic Association, the fad type of grapefruit diet began in the 1930s, when it was also known as the Hollywood diet. ADHD diet, this is the original diet treatment for ADHD, and a comprehensive program of dietary management for better behavior, learning and health. ![]() Kids with autism also often have methylation issues, meaning their bodies have a hard time eliminating harmful toxins. Yeast give off toxins when they are fed (off the foods we eat mostly) and when they die. It’s these toxins which cause the issues we see. Normally, our bodies work to rid these toxins as quickly as possible. Kids with autism often cannot rid toxins efficiently, making the presence of yeast worse for them. ![]() Many of the supplements (such as B- 1. DAN (Defeat Autism Now) doctor protocols help kids detox better. As a side note, this is why vaccines are so detrimental for some kids. If they already have an impaired immune system and impaired methylation (detoxing ability), adding vaccines is going to be big blow to their already fragile system. Vaccines are a big shot of toxins and viruses. How do we know if our babies are born with an impaired immune system and methylation issues? ![]() We don’t, especially when they start vaccinating at birth. If you wait a few months to start giving vaccinations, you can watch your baby for signs. Is your baby sick a lot? My daughter was sick from about two weeks on. ![]() ![]() ![]() Every two weeks, she would get sick and she was extremely floppy. No muscle tone. She was later diagnosed with hypotonia (low muscle tone). She was never vaccinated by the way. Had she been, she probably would have severe autism instead of high functioning autism. You can take some clues from the mother’s health and the health of the baby’s siblings if there are any. If the mother has any autoimmune disorders, that is one clue. If the mother has food allergies, gets yeast infections a lot, or has an impaired immune system, that often means she herself may have issues with yeast and this often gets passed on to the baby. This is why it’s so important for pregnant women to be taking probiotics daily, especially nearing delivery. The baby picks up their only beneficial bacteria to start out their life (or harmful yeast and bacteria) from the birth canal during birth. Make sure they’re picking up the good stuff. Read more about how to have an All Natural Pregnancy in my blog post here. If siblings of the baby have issues, that’s another clue. I believe a lot of issues can be eliminated by the mother taking proper care of herself before and during pregnancy. If a sibling has issues, and the mother has done nothing differently in between pregnancies, it’s more likely the next baby will have some of the same issues. My first child had ADHD symptoms, second, autism and food allergies, third, seizures and food allergies. With my first two, I ate terribly and didn’t take care of myself, just out of ignorance. I didn’t know any better. I had not eaten very well my whole life as well. With my third, I had started the Feingold Diet along with my oldest for his ADHD symptoms. So, I was at least avoiding chemicals and toxins in food. My third child was a much calmer baby with few issues, other than seizures which started as soon as we started him on real food and milk at 1. His seizures are caused by gluten, dairy, and eggs so we now avoid those. When my kids started GFCF (after my third child started having seizures), I started GFCF as well and noticed big improvements in myself. No more stomach pains, no more constipation, no more headaches and migraines which I had been suffering from relentlessly since I was 8. We started doing biomed as well and I learned a LOT. Read my post on “Why We Started the GFCF Diet” here. By my fourth child, I implemented everything I had learned about health and nutrition and what caused autism. I had started taking supplements and probiotics and eating grass fed meat and organic chicken, and less processed and fast foods. My fourth child has been by far my healthiest child, and at age 2 and half now, she talks in full sentences, and has been for a while. No real issues yet, knock on wood. I keep her GFCF as well though since my other kids have food allergies, just to be safe. She does seem to react to gluten and dairy negatively, but I see that more being from the way dairy and wheat/gluten are processed. They are not in their natural, God- made state. Since it’s nearly impossible to get all raw dairy products (that have not been pasteurized, which kills the enzymes which help us digest the lactose in dairy products), we just avoid them. And gluten isn’t really a food. It’s added to wheat and other products. True natural wheat without gluten added is closer to spelt bread. This is what they were eating in the Bible, which is nothing like the typical wheat bread we have today. Kids with autism also often have bodies that are very acidic instead of alkaline. This allows yeast to thrive. When the body is alkaline, the yeast don’t want to stay. Foods that are alkaline are of course vegetables, which most kids don’t like. Acidic foods are sugary, starchy foods, many fruits such as strawberries, oranges, etc. This balance between acidic and alkaline is called the PH of the body. They test this when you are pregnant through a urine sample. It’s very easy to test at home too. They sell test strips. When the body is acidic, you are going to crave more acidic foods. When the body is alkaline, you will crave alkaline foods and your acidic/sugar cravings dissipate. My daughter used to take a supplement called PH Basic by Enzymedica. It helped bring her PH levels back to normal which will help rid yeast. What are some common symptoms of yeast overgrowth? There are lots! But, there are certain ones that many in the biomed world know immediately are signs of yeast. Of course, some of these symptoms can be caused by other things, but in kids with autism, these symptoms are often signs of yeast because when we treat them for yeast, their symptoms improve. When they eat too much sugar or yeast feeding foods, these symptoms return. Inappropriate laughter, sometimes even in their sleep. We’ve had this. Along with laughter, is just an overall inappropriate silliness. Everything is funny. They act like they are drunk almost. And technically, they kind of are. The toxins that yeast excrete are similar to alcohol, causing symptoms that cause their host (your child) to act almost drunk. Now of course it’s not to the degree of how a real drunk person would act but sometimes it’s pretty similar. Inability to concentrate and focus. Here’s where ADHD comes into play. When you treat yeast (adding supplements helps too and of course the Feingold Diet), often focus and concentration improve. Children also may go from scribbling pictures all the time, to suddenly drawing clear and precise pictures. I’ve seen this. In Early Childhood (at age 4 and a half), my daughter had a weekend journal where they were supposed to draw a picture of what they did that weekend. Every week, she just scribbled. Never once did she draw a picture. After starting the GFCF diet and biomed and treating for yeast, she drew a picture, and it was good! She drew a picture of a sunflower, a sun, grass, and everything was even appropriately colored. I was shocked! Meltdowns/Moodiness – screams yeast! Crabby, whiny, crying? Angered easily? Spinning in circles? Walking on tip toes? OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder)? Anxiety and depression? Sometimes yeast. Can be other things as well such as food additives and vitamin deficiencies. Handwriting is also a big indication of yeast. Handwriting can go from awful to very clear and legible once yeast is under control. Sugar and carb cravings? Especially if your kid has a major meltdown over not getting sugar. I always know my son has a yeast issue when he starts crying and whining over wanting a sugary food and I say no. Other times, he’s OK with it. Other signs of yeast – fungal outbreaks on the skin. Rashes, ring worm, itchy skin. Red ring around the mouth that makes your kids look like a clown. We had this. It looked so funny and I didn’t learn what it was from till later. My daughter would like the skin around her mouth too so I just thought it was from her licking it. Nope – yeast. Itchy bottoms or a ring around the anus – yeast.
