Re: Yeast overgrowth question

[Guest guest]

For starters you can mix up some liquid grapefruit seed extract with

water, and use it to wipe down the sores on her bottom. I've never done

it to the kids, but used it on topical yeast on me, and it only feels

like wiping with fresh water, no stinging. You could try adding a drop

or two of GSE to a fruit juice for her (to disguise the flavor) to treat

for internal yeast. My sister-in-law needed to treat my nephew who was

about the same age and just used a syringe with some of the dilution in

it. She put it as far to the back of his mouth as possible to treat

internal yeast. He didn't much care for the flavor, and spit some out,

but what did get into him worked.

Try a sitz bath for her, put 1/2 box baking soda in her bath water and try to

get her to stay in there for at least 10 mins, then after the tub let her run

around naked for little while to air dry. If you get benefit, do another quick

tub in am and pm with baking soda. Also, don't use wipes, just dab at her

bottom with lukewarm washcloths until the rash is gone,Good luck, Alison M

Poor little dd!

If you are still breastfeeding you may want to check yourself for

yeast. You can take the diflucan or probiotics/yeast cleanse to

prevent passing the yeast on to her. I had the same experience with

my daughter. I had a yeast overgrowth and didn't know and she ended

up with bad diaper rashes and thrush. I took some probiotics and it

was passed onto her through breastmilk. (check with an ND)

There are many recipes for homemade diaper rash creams using vitamins

A & D, if it is a severe yeast rash you can put some canestan or

monistat external cream on the rash.

Good Luck!

sounds a lot like my dd (21 months). Biotin and candex between meals

has worked wonders here (she won't do GSE).
