Guest guest Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Hi all...I was wondering if anyone has experience with young girls having yeast infections. A friend from another group has a daughter with a whopping one and is trying really hard to avoid pharmaceuticals. Any ideas? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 She can use probiotics--Culturelle--Probi Flora--Femdophilus. These are not pharmaceuticals but are really like food supplements --- spanishmiss430 Use the Culturelle or Femdophilus both orally and vaginally everyday. I would have her tested for gluten sensitivity and only at Enterolab where they can do the job. A test for the the second most common problem at the same lab--dairy sensitivity--would be very desirable. Something has messed up her intestinal flora if she has yeast infections.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Hi: I have experience with a daughter with yeast infections and you probably won't like my advice....... You don't say how old this child is or if she was cultured for yeast or how they think she got it. Little girls usually don't get yeast infections. My daughter got her first one after long term Flagyl for Crohn's disease. It was cultured as 'budding yeast' and they wanted her to use Gynazole. Do they know why she got one? Sitting in wet bathing suits, antibiotics? Little girls and virgin teenagers will NOT put anything up their vaginas!!! In my opinion the non pharms (if they work) will take a lot more time then if she could take a Diflucan. Why let the kid suffer longer than she has to?? As far as I'm concerned my vulvodynia started with a yeast infection that I waited too long to treat. I wouldn't want that for my kid. The diets are great for adults, but try to get a kid to stick to it. They won't. My daughter still doesn't watch what she eats for Crohn's and she is now 18 and still won't put anything up her vagina or use a tampon. If it were my daughter, I'd go with the pharmas and if she seems to be prone to yeast use the non pharm as preventatives. Just my two cents. Sherri PS I gave my daughter one Diflucan for her yeast infection and she was fine. -------------- Original message -------------- > Hi all...I was wondering if anyone has experience with young girls > having yeast infections.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I know why she's trying to avoid the Rx, but if it was my little girl, I would get the meds. A vaginal yeast infection is so miserable. (If it's a yeast diaper rash you're talking about, I may try some other things first.)
