Re: Quesions about natural remedies for yeast overgrowth in 6yo son

[Guest guest]

---

Another gentler method for us was using a homeopathic remedy by

Genestra called Fungisode. I can use it daily without risk of

bacteria. I noticed a die off reaction which indicated to me that it

was working. We have also used caprilic acid, and I have also used

this personally. It was helpful, I didn't find it to be as strong as

GSE, or as effective. I've heard that this does work well for others.

When we use GSE I'm careful to use it for only a few days, until I

see a normal BM, then I stop. I also use Oil of Oregano the same as I

would GSE and it is quite effective. I continue with the fungocide.

Anytime I give sugar or some fruit, especially grapes he gets the

yeast back right away. It's been a difficult thing to control. So

far the enzymes are helping a lot.
