2 and 1/2 year old with chronic candida

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the group. I have been working on my daughter's candida

since birth (unfortunately she was given tons of antibiotics at

birth--ARGGH).

We have made some progress but it seems I can no longer manage the no

grains diet, she's become too aware.

I have her on saccaromyces boulardii which has helped and some

homeopathic candida remedies but we need more help.

Anyone been successful treating a toddler?

Thanks,

I struggle too with this. My son was having issues

eating solid foods, so back in October I let him have

a crunchy cookie to see what he'd do with it.

He ate every crumb of it with no problem. Then

shortly after that he learned to say cookie and now he

asks for them constantly. Cookie, Cookie, all day

long.

He's allowed to have ONE per day, and that's it. I

try to get them at whole foods so they are at least a

little bit better, and he's not allowed to have them

unless he's finished his meat and veggies.

I'm finding it very hard with him at this age. When

he was younger I just gave him pureed meat and veggies

all the time, and he'd never tasted anything else so

didn't know what to ask for.

Now he get's pissed off and refused to eat a lot of

things, and I break down and give him yogurt, cheese

or cookies, which I was fine with him having in small

amounts, but if he had his way that's all he would

eat.

I'm a big sucker where he is concerned, so actually my

husband is doing a lot of cooking for him now, and

makes him low carb foods for dinner (like little

hamburger patties, or chicken drummettes), and I cook

him eggs and bacon/sausage every day for breakfast.

Also my husband cuts him off when he starts pleading

for cookies and yogurt where as if it's just me

watching him I always get done in by his pleas... he

doesn't even try that with my husband.

Don't know if that helps but at least we can

commiserate.

Luv,

Debby

==>Please do not give her saccaromyces boulardii - I'm short on time

this morning so I do not have time to explain. Give her probiotics as

recommended in my article " How to Successfully Overcome Candida " sent

to you when you joined.

==>We've had many members who have, but you do need to be strong about

having no grains and other foods that feed candida.

The best to you, Bee
