Help with systemic yeast.... what am I missing????

[Guest guest]

Hi ladies,

Permission to post....

I have a client with what I think is systemic yeast that I could really use your

help with. I am including all of the things she has tried over the past 2

weeks. The nystatin was prescribed by the Ped, not me, obviously. Here's what's

happening:

Mom/baby have both been using Nystatin since 3/27/12 4 times per day rub 1ml on

her tongue & inside cheeks & place a few drops on her nipples after breast

feeding

Baby gets 5 drops of BioGaia orally 1 time per day

Mom takes 2 capsules femadopholis orally 2x daily on an empty stomach AM & PM and

also takes 1 enteric garlic pill orally 1 time per day with food

-

we have been adding the yin care mouth recommended per acupuncturist to the

nystatin orally for Baby 1 x daily

Mom has been sprinkling the powder of femadopholis on top of her nipples after

the nystatin after every feeding

Mom has been sanitizing breast shields & all pump parts, syringes & tubing from

finger feeds in equal parts distilled vinegar & distilled water then boiling

them for 10 min after each use

Mom also just started adding 1/2 cup distilled vinegar to all laundry of Baby's

& her nursing bras in the wash.

Mom also eliminated sugars,already was gluten free, & eliminated all dairy on

Wednesday evening.

Baby had tongue clipped at 4days and has seen Cranio. Baby is pulling off the

breast screaming after 5-10 mins. There is yeast all over her tongue, roof of

her mouth, and cheeks.

Mom is complaining of contantly burning nipples.

What am I missing????

Thank you so much for any advice that you have!

Warmly,
