Re: Is this a sign of high amonia or yeast?

[Guest guest]

Do you use epsom salt bathes often? They can cause irritation. Maybe back off a

few days and see if it clears. If so, just do them as she can tolerate. Cut back

on the amount.Some supplements can also cause this. It Could still be yeast.

Does she drink lots of water? Yeast will excrete from the urine. If you think it

is yeast, A prescription anti fungal cream may help depending on her age, maybe

OTC?? IE- monistat

If it does not resolve in a few days, I wonder if you could get her Doctor to

order a routine urine test? If there is an infection, or maybe even now to

prevent infection,you can use cranberry extract. I have heard alot of great

things about that. You can get it at most health food stores.

Thanks for your suggestions -- funny, I did try the over-the-counter monistat,

cause it has worked on my son when he gets this in his rectum, but my daughter's

didn't seem to be responding that well. I have been giving her probiotic drink

(cultured coconut milk) and I added cranberry juice to it - an extra bit today.

I too have been avoiiding the baths with epsom salt. It is a bit better this

a.m., and if it's not healed by Monday, I will take her to the doc for a urine

test.

Thanks for the suggestions!

It might be a UTI. Does it help if she drinks cranbarry juice? Are

you giving anything for yeast control? If so, try dropping it, see if

that helps.

You can test the acidic levels of her urine with pH paper. Its very

cheap and easy to get. Any science/lab supply place has it, or you can

order it on line.

I'd use a natural non-petroleum based barrier cream (like shea butter)

to protect the area while you figure out what's going on.

Thanks for the suggestion - I ordered the test strips for ph levels. Why did

you say non petroleum based cream on the area? Just curious....

She is drinking cranberry juice with coconut kefir I made. WE did start

stronger enzymes (digest) about a week ago and about four days ago started

peptizyde. Maybe this is yeast??? She was pretty crabby for a few days and

better now.

Been ther. For us this was a combination of yeast + bacteria from

constipation. As I understand it the rectum and the tissues in the

vaginal area share a blood supply or the blood supply circulates from

one to the other causing a higher likely hood of yeast infection and or

bacterial infection/UTI

Petroleum is a petro-chemical and really shouldn't be put on damaged

skin (or any skin - save it to lube hinges) because it can cause more

irritation/inflammation as the body tries to deal with yet another toxin.

You can get un-petroleum jelly at Whole Foods or here on line:

But I've had better luck with hexane-free raw shea butter on

irritation and inflammation. I bought a bulk batch from Vermont

Soapworks. Not sure if they have small sizes yet.

Viola - If I can step in with this question .... petroleum is

derivative of crude oil and is toxic. Shea butter and other healing

ingredients are nourishing to the body and do not add to the body

burden of toxicity. Our skin is our largest organ; and, anything

that is absorbed through the skin is delivered right to the blood

stream.

Possibly, but if the cranberry is helping, it would be more related to

bad bacteria, which was my first thought. If this is related to

starting the new enzymes, check the ingredients. Some kids react

badly to papain/bromelain.
