Guest guest Posted September 23, 2001 Report Share Posted September 23, 2001 Hello listmates, I are reconnecting after being GFCF for over a year now. Things are going fine except that my 9 year old (PDD and Down syndrome) broke out in a thrush infection two weeks ago. We have not addressed yeast in her system as yet but she is taking Nystatin now to deal with the infection in her mouth. I am very worried because kids her age do not ususally get thrush (it is a nursing baby thing mostly). I am concerned it may indicate a very compromised immune system (possibly leukemia - kids with DS have a higher incidence of this). But I have no resource people locally to tell me if thrush occurs more often in children with PDD/autism - my doctors think the yeast/PDD thing is overblown and won't explore it with me. Have your kids ever had oral thrush? vaginal yeast infections? other kinds of yeast infections? At what ages? How did you deal with these? Any information you can share would be very helpful. Thanks, (mom to Evie - DS, PDD - age 9 and Clare age 5) From the AllNewgeierberys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
