Garlic for an Antifungal

[Guest guest]

,

That's great that your daughter will eat olives.

Thank you for the idea, but my son won't go near an olive. He is 2

1/2 and very limited in his selections of food. He basically eats the same

things everyday, all SCD. I have heard that it's pretty normal at his age

to eat that way, so I try not to worry too much. I just keep offering him

new things and putting them on his plate anyway. Sometimes he licks them

and says yum, but he makes a funny face like it's disgusting and then tells

me it's my turn to eat it. I think he wants to like it because we eat it,

but it is new to him and he is afraid. He does like garlic though, but it

is usually cooked, so I don't know if he is reaping any of the benefits. I

make him steak that he eats everyday, sometimes for lunch and dinner, and

it is marinated in olive oil and fresh garlic, then I add salt.

We are currently giving our son Nystatin, but have used Diflucan in the

past. It depends on what strains of yeast appear in his stool analysis. As

far as Diflucan being hard on the liver, we give Noah Milk Thistle while on

it to help aid the liver. Luckily he has have never had a problem taking

it.

Earlier was mentioned garlic,

Here is a thought. Does your child like olives? I have a daughter

who loves olives. One day all I had in the house was garlic stuffed

olives and she now loves them too. Just a thought....

. still waiting for my copy of the book....
