My name is Keri, I am Greg’s sister. In reading your blog I was saddened to read about your son. When did your son start to develop signs of autism? I am sure that you and your wife have done alot of research on this awful disease, but I was wondering if you ever looked into the fact that his illness could be yeast related. I currently have been diagnosed with Candida, and through my own research I have come up with yeast related illnesses to Autism. I don’t know if you have ever heard of Candida, but it is an immune system disorder that was caused by to many antibiotics, poor eating habits, And a nail fungal infection that was never properly treated. The doctors gave me an antibiotic for it when they should have given me an antifungal to kill the yeast off in my body. As you may already know when you are given an antibiotic, not only does it kill off the bad bacteria but it also kills of the good bacteria in your gut. If you don’t replace the good bacteria then your body will start to get sick. When you add in an unhealthy diet into the mix, the yeast begin to feed on the sugar that you have eaten and thus creates toxins in your body that can create all sorts of symptoms including brain fog, inability to think straight, digestive disorders, anxiety, depression, and the list goes on. When your son was a baby was he ever on alot of antibiotics? I will enclose a website that talks a little more about this subject. I am not a doctor, but am just someone trying to help, because I know what it is like to be dealing with an illness that nobody can give you any answers to especially doctors. In my own experience I went through many tests that all revealed nothing. The doctors all told me I was fine when I knew I wasn’t. I wish you and your family all the best luck. Please let me know what you think, I would love to talk more to you if you are willing. Best regards, Keri http://www.parentsofallergicchildren.org/autism_@yeast.htm
