yeast- 8 yo..

[Guest guest]

ds has had yeast issues..since birth i believe. tested 4 years ago

and indeed candida. we have tried various natural things. he is also

on an 'allergen free diet.' the candida leads to this I believe. We

went to another doc yesterday. she appeared to have a good

understanding of things and believes in both traditional medicine and

also in nutritional routes. he is severely constipated (again..since

birth.) he goes daily but not much. and it is always hard. she said

that he has to really be clear in his bowels, more or less, for

anything to work which is why nothing worked. she is recommending

miralax and nystatin both for a month and then adding on probiotics.

in the past probiotics have actually made his constipation worse.

(most people look at me crazy when i say this.) I am not thrilled

about the miralax however he is now a bit older and we need to get his

gut moving. i don't know if this group is mostly adults, or if some

of you have kiddos w/ candida?? i am a bit wondering if i should go

for 'bigger guns' with the candida ie: diflucan? at first. I am

concerned that it might not be 'enough' and it may come back even

worse. any advice is appreciated.

Thanks and regards,
