Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 Hi, I just joined this group today. I have Candida and have very slowly.....been getting it under control but it's still alive and well. My diet is completely sugar free but I still binge on carbs sometimes. I still obviously have candida. I'm 27. Spent a good deal of my childhood on prednisone(steroids) for asthma and several years of antibitic therapy for what doctors thought were urinary tract infections but I discovered I had had interstitial cystitis. I have healed myself of that. Grew up as a sugar addict. Was one until about 4 years ago. Still binge on potato chips - can't seem to kick that bad habit, despite all the healthy raw food I eat. The main reason I joined this list is because I think my son may have Candida as well. He's 3 1/2. The past few months he's had really bad breath (he never used to). Also, he has LOTS of sugar cravings. At first, I scoffed it off as every kid wants sugar but I don't want my kid growing up with a candida infection. He doesn't eat any refined sugar but plenty of applesauce, raisins, fig newtons, etc. I don't buy juice or soymilk so he doesn't get THAT kind of sugar. So, I'd like to get him on a probiotic but one that I know will work. I've heard in the past that Primal Defense is pretty good. Question is, Can it be safe for a child that young? What would anyone recommend for helping my son control the candida and also getting rid of the cause of his bad breath? Thank you so much, Joyce Kehoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
