Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I would suggest buying some OTC yeast infection med and swabbing the area. If she's fussing a lot you could try smearing some in her diaper and then putting it on her. It's also good to use probiotics for her stomach. If she will eat it and isn't restricted diet, yogurt is good to help her " even out " . HTH, Debii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Yeast is very common for all kids in diapers, more so for autistic kids in diapers, so it very likely is. When my son got them as a baby, we just used OTC Lotramin, it works great. Also, reduce sugars in her diet if you can, and have her eat yogurt or take acidopholis or probiotics, which you can find in any health food store, or some grocery stores.
