Good news has just come to my inbox, when a friend sent me a letter to let me know that she believes her 7 year old son for now has beaten the yeast infection! She had him on a rather strict diet for about 3 months and taking vitamins specifically for that.
She thought about 1-2 months ago he went through a die-off, but kept him going on the diet.
She has been adding foods gradually for about the last 2-3 weeks.
She lets her son know he might have to go back to his diet at any time, so this will probably be a lifetime thing they have to fight.
In the 3 months, he was seeing a dietitian who helped set a specific diet for him.
During that time, he lost about 14 pounds and 9 inches in his waist.
She has added more meats for him, while she still limits him to 1 fruit a day.
He still only drinks water, specifically 6 glasses a day or more without juice or soda.
She doesn't think she will ever add that back in.
He has been able to have dairy without having problems.
She is still having him on the goat's milk, since he loves to eat cereal.
She still also gives him rice cheese, and kept him on the yeast free bread.
Any sweets he has are very limited.
He is still on all his medications, and she is hoping this will stop anything form coming back.
Since gradually adding all this stuff, he has had no reactions like he used to.
There are no more breakouts, rashes, or tummy aches.
She notices he can tend to get a bit hyper if he has a sweeter item, which she tries to avoid for him.
His stools are still perfect, and she is hoping they beat this.
It is such good news to hear.
