Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 If a mother has candida overgrowth and is nursing, is the yeast being fed to the child through her breast milk? OR If a mother is treating herself with candex and is nursing, is she also treating her child? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Yes to both - although if the yeast is severe she'll need more than Candex yeast in breast milk?

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Yes she is. My son and I passed it back and forth for 3 years. The dr. kept telling me it was a plugged duct and that his mouth was " naturally that color. " I took Nystatin towards the end of nursing my daughter (she was a toddler by now though) and it didn't seem to cause a problem, but she was a 2-3 year old child at that point, eating mainly solid foods. I also took GSE tablets, probiotics and caprylic acid while nursing her, as a toddler, without noticing a problem.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Yes, to both of your questions. I had to up enzymes, and go very heavy on the probiotics. I tried Nystatin, it did nothing for us, I then altered my diet to severely limit my intake of carbs and no absolutely no corn syrup in anything, and dosed a small amount of GSE to myself, and a baby formulation of probiotics given directly to my daughter finally got things under control. yeast in breast milk?
