Re: Stan: antifungal AND/OR SCD

July 7, 2006

My children were SCD/LOD (2.5yrs/9mos) prior to starting valtrex and

didn't have any obvious signs of yeast. I did start diflucan a few

weeks prior to starting valtrex just to have it in place. Isaac had

a yeast flare-up immediately after starting valtrex despite being on

diflucan and a strict SCD/LOD diet. My vote would be to get the

antifungal in place. The diet should help, but as I said, my kids

haven't had yeast problems in a long time but do now with anti-

virals.
