Hi Karen,I think the above symptoms (except maybe bedwetting -haha) applies to adults too.Many of the babies & kids I have cared for have candida due to over prescribing of antiobiotics and mothers not breastfeeding. I’ve worked with babies who come home from the hospital with thrush – and doctors don’t feel it’s a problem.(?)Some of the challenged babies I’ve worked with – their moms have them only on breastmilk until at least 6 months – and none of these babies develope candida.Maybe you could do an blog on candida in children (unless I’ve missed one that you’ve already done).Lori
Hi Lori – I think you’re right about the adults! I wrote about Candida last October but not specific to infant thrush, I think it’s a great idea and added it to my list. Although I breastfed my daughter and I feel I gave her thrush because of my candida. Later she had issues with her skin.
Karen,My computer’s bee down – arrgghhhMy son got thrush from me – and I went to a holistic physician to get myself healthy. If a mom has candida, the baby will get it in the form of thrush, diaper rash or skin problems.Nystatin and a yeast/sugar free diet, plus supplements cured me.Lori
Garlic, Quality Friendly Bacteria and an altered diet – such as you described are all things we recommend. Sometimes that’s enough. I personally used Caprilic Acid. ( sp?) It’s beyond me how most of the medical profession is not taking the issue of Candida more seriously.
Karen,I use probiotics everyday and yes, I did use the capriclic acid too.It took me a year to really get well.Only holistically oriented physicians understand Candida is a “whole” body problem and can be very devastating.Lori
THat’s awesome! I too had a lengthy recovery. I prefere the holistic view to wellness myself!
