Got Beneficial Bacteria?

Apparently I don't. My face has turned into a before shot from ProActiv's acne solution. I'm literally walking around in a haze (sporting a new zit on a daily basis). Don't even ask me about my diet. I'm on carb overload and in candida hell.

Candida overgrowth is a typical problem with autistic kids, too. Hayden's even yeasty and he takes probiotics. He's stimming like mad. His gut resembles a malnourished child in a starving village somewhere and he's narrowed his diet to french fries and apples.

So, we're both feeding the yeast, so to speak. Mainstream media got the best of me this week. I'm not a fan of "unorganic" dairy, but I bought some Activia. You know, the probiotic Jamie Lee Curtis raves about. It's given her the ability to take an unaided shit or something like that.

Brock found a pack in the fridge. A few days later, he said, "So, how's the shittin' yogurt working for ya?"

"I'm not taking it for shitting. I'm taking it for candida. I need a probiotic, thank you very much."

So, how is the shittin' yogurt working, you ask? My face isn't as broken out, but I'm still eating like I'm going to the electric chair (carb style, of course). Maybe a few more containers and I'll be able to star in my own Activia commercial...
