Re: is there a way to tell if a baby has candida overgrowth?

[Guest guest]

,

Cradle cap is definitely a sign of Candida. I think the other things are

related too.

Also, most pediatricians are now recommending that you do NOT feed fruit to

babies until they are at least one year old or even older. They need to

develop their little taste buds and fruit will just make them crave sugars.

It's best to puree some veggies and maybe some chicken or turkey. Or fix

scrambled or poached eggs. After she gets used to those you can introduce

other pureed meats.

And don't forget the coconut oil! Fats are very important for babies too.

I bet she would like a bit of coconut oil straight from the jar. Plus

butter. When my sister was a baby if the butter dish was within her reach

she would have a fistful and sit there licking it off.

Btw...this sister is the healthiest one in our entire family (though I hope

to be there with her soon) She has always chosen things like a salad and

bunless burger over a cheeseburger and fries; or gilled chicken and steamed

veggies over fried chicken (you know the floured type) and potato salad.

Even as a little kid (3 or 4) she would choose iced water over soda. The

rest of us always thought she was weird but now I know she was instinctively

healthy!

==>Those are evidence she has candida, so yes it would be best to feed

her foods allowed on this diet, and do not feed her fruits or sweets

of any kind for sure, and no grains. Egg yolks are the very best to

start with. See www.westonaprice.org who list the best foods to start

babies on, or see Sally Fallon's Nourishing Traditions cookbook (see

Links for more info).

How would she have gotten candida? She's never had any OTC meds, or

vaxes, or antibiotics.

I can give her CO but she seems to have dairy allergies so butter is out.

My son is 21 months and eats pretty close to this

diet. I don't know if he has candida or not, as he

doesn't have any symptoms at all, but I feed him like

this because it's the healthiest way to eat.

It doesn't matter if he has candida or not, these

healthy foods will make sure he stays that way. He

eats mostly meat and veggies, with a little bit of

yogurt and fruit.

I don't thing yogurt and fruit are great, I just give

those to him to kind of stretch out my options and

because he enjoys them. He gets no more than one

serving of fruit and yogurt per day though.

I buy the full fat organic yogurt with cultures in it,

and then very occassionally he munches on a banana.

His favorite food is beef. I often take a baked

boneless chicken breast or a piece of steak, then add

in some steamed veggies (carrots, zucchini, broccoli,

tomatoes, yams, sweet potatoes) and then run all of

that through my food processor.

I forgot to mention that I also add coconut oil to all

my son's food. When he's been sick I add more and I

have noticed it speeds his recovery.

As I understand it we all have Candida growing in our systems at all times.

The problem comes when that growth gets out of control. Out of control

Candida leads to a depressed immune system which leads to more out of

control Candida...at vicious cycle to say the least.

Given that it makes sense that infants who are born to mothers with

depressed immune systems most likely have compromised immune systems as

well, So while they do not catch Candidias from their mothers, their little

immune systems are ripe for overgrowth.

As for your daughter being allergic to dairy...butter does not cause the

usual dairy reactions that milk, cheese, yogurt, etc. might. That's why we

are allowed to have it on this program. Also, as Bee always says, allergies

are a result of a depressed immune system. Proper eating helps us eliminate

allergies. Also what we sometimes view as allergic reactions to butter,

coconut oil or other good foods are simply healing symptoms. So while you

may not want to give her butter just yet, please don't hesitate to try it

every so often. Eventually she should tolerate it just fine.

debby,

did you ever notice that he would have a reaction to the coconut oil such as

die off? Boy oh boy it affected me badly this week and im not too sure i want

to take it any more. I know its important but something gave mea bad reaction

either that or the anti fungal i started a few days ago but i started them at

the same time so i am not sure.

Good luck with your MIL situation. The good side is at least she doesnt live

close enough to visit frequently.

No I never noticed him having a die-off reaction, but

at this age he isn't able to tell me if he feels bad.

The coconut oil seemed to only make him feel better,

not worse.

Ugh, once a month is more than I can take

unfortunately. THanks.

I will try dairy again with her eventually but if she has the same

reaction with butter as she does with other dairy (blood in her stool)

I would not consider that a healing reaction at all--that is why I am

so reluctant to do dairy.

Hi

I don't know if your baby has Candida or not but Ellen is right about fruit.

Starting your baby off with the sweet taste of fruit will make it so much harder

to introduce other tastes to your baby down the track.

I'm not sure if this is your first baby but when my two boys were being

introduced to solids, I would cook up all manner of vegetables individually in

one big cook up, puree them and freeze them into ice trays. Then I would empty

them into containers and label them. Makes it really easy at meals times. Just

take out one or more cube of vegie and heat up. As time went by, I would add in

a cube of red meat/chicken etc. Further down the track I would cook all the

vegies together and puree and have the separate meats going in the ice trays

then into containers. Back then I also pureed rice and pasta but I wouldn't do

that now if I were to have a third child.

Hope this helps and good luck.

I wasn't planning on introducing fruits first, but I do think fruits

have important nutrients, so I would like to give her some of them.

Especially since there are very few (none that I can think of) veggies

that are baby-friendly without some preparation or cooking, whereas if

we are out somewhere and she needs something to eat (besides nursing)

I could buy organic applesauce or a ripe banana and those are

ready-to-eat.

I guess I will introduce some veggies and eggs first, meats when she

gets her eyeteeth in (supposed to be an indicator of readiness to

digest meat), and then see about fruits/see how she reacts to them.

Hopefully we'll both be well on the way to healing by then.

Val, you can clarify butter or buy ghee - see the Recipe Folder on

how to do it. It removes the proteins that could cause problems, or

buy butter oil from Green Pastures. There are very important

nutients in butter which everyone should have daily.

There are no nutrients in fruits that are necessary. There's more

vitamin C in green peppers, brocolli and some other veggies. Fruits

are one of the worst foods for anyone to eat - see www.mercola.com

and do a search using fructose to understand why.

What nutrients are in butter that cannot be obtained from meat and

eggs? I can only get organic pasturized butter (not grass-fed I'm

sure) here.

==>Even butter from non-grass-fed cows is better than no butter.

Pasteurizing does not destroy all of butter's benefits - butter

contains butryic acid and other important nutrients along with it

being one of the very best fats - see the Butter Folder for more

information on how good it is for you.
