Re: ketogenic diet-thrush - Vicky

[Guest guest]

I'm really not that up with any of this, but if my non keto kiddie gets

any sort of recurrent yeasty/thrushy infection, I ply her with yoghurt

containing acidophillus - obviously not really an option on strict keto

though...

Thrush is often a result of the body being too alkaline, which in keto is

not that often, being as the ketones are acidic inducing. Has he had a lot

of antibiotics that may perhaps have brought this on?

Some kiddies may need that acidic keto boost as part of their seizure

control, this may be why he seems to lose control during these bouts. I have

seen others on here speak of pro-biotics (sp?) to help balance this all out,

but I really don't know enough about it to know what sort and why....maybe a

naturopath might be able to help since your Dr doesn't seem that concerned?

Thats what I was trying to think of (some days I think I am getting

really really old)......acidopholus! You want to find the lowest carb

one possible, I think PB8 is suppose to be a good one.....all will have

a certain amount of carb because they have to grown in something but I

think the rice base of the PB8 is suppose to be not too bad. You would

give it all the time (at least for quite a while) to balance out his

system

My daughter has ha thrush 3 times since leaving the hospital. There is a pill

called ketoconazole (generic version of nizerol) that is ussually given to HIV

patients. Evidently, they get thrush alot. It is a 200 MG tablet that is broken

into 1/4's given by mouth twice daily (Hannah is little though, I am sure for

the big kids, they may take an entire pill or 1/2). There are no sugars/carbs in

it.

Hannah gets that same thick white nasty smelling stuff. The pill clears it up

within a day. It's great!

Hi there, the acidophilus I take has 0 carbs in it, I'll get the name for

you and post tomorrow, I'm out of it at the moment

waiting to be seizure free. Also on Lamictal, diazapem and Diamox.

Try gentian violet. It's messy, but it works. Only 3 day

treatment. Another option is to use grapefruit seed extract by

nutribiotic. It comes in pill form, and I used it for a yeast

infection in my breast tissue. Took it 3 times a day, in between

meal times, for a couple of weeks.

We've had 3 bouts of yeast with my little one, but since we've been

on the diet, we haven't had any issues. The doc may be able to test

if it's yeast...

,

Can you please post the carb-free acidophilus? Our little girl has

to take antibiotics and we have already had problems with yeast so we

want to be proactive.

I saw your post, and just thought I'd let you know that kirkman labs makes a

probiotic powder that contains only sorbitol. They also make some in an

inulin base, with no sugars or starches.

Their web address is www.kirkmanlabs.com.
