Last week after I spoke with Dr. Russell (by phone appointments now, he is in Texas) we began the anti-fungal phase (Diflucan) of Kaylee's protocol. Today is day 8 and the one major improvement so far is that Kaylee's mushy stools are totally GONE. We were struggling with that again after the anti-viral was introduced and even though she was on the GF/CF diet and probiotic supplementation we saw little improvement. We believe that the use of the antiviral caused the yeast in Kaylee's digestive system to become opportunistic and proliferate at a faster rate, therefore causing the mushy (and stinky!!!) stools.
And it was exactly as Dr. Russell predicted, he told me the antifungal would fix it and it did! So it is safe to deduce that Kaylee did in fact, have a yeast problem in her gut that a low sugar diet did not correct.
Kaylee's sleep is still pretty good, however, she is having some hyperactivity, and I believe this is the beginning of her "die-off" stage. I think we are going to see some irritability again for a few weeks. Being prepared helps me deal with it!
So today, Kaylee is still on Valtrex, and now Veramyst (for allergies) and Diflucan.
That's all for now folks!
