Thrush (was Ann Thorpe and Driving in NYC)

[Guest guest]

Dear Ann,

 

Please forgive and ignore if this is already known.

 

As far as I know thrush is usually an indication

of systemic candida imbalance.

Does your daughter have a history of heavy

antibiotic use? Bladder or ear infections?

Getting the gut into shape is the place

to start any health program, but of course,

if toxins are sitting around in tissue you

don't want them discharging into the

bloodstream till you are finished building

a baby.

 

However, I can't see what would be so

bad about taking pro-biotics, the good

beasties in the gut.

 

Natren makes one especially aimed

at infants. They need a different blend

from adults.

 

My niece had a ceasarean section, followed

by a hospital infection for which both she and

the baby were given antibiotics.

 

Baby got thrush and was quite colicky

and miserable as well.

Within a week of Mom taking the Natren

combo she had settled down a lot.

 

I have a friend with heavy yeast issues who

says the Natren probiotics do more for her

than anything else.

The Natren website is a great source of info,

but buy your products here much cheaper:

No, she doesn't take anything unless it's really necessary and isn't know for

bladder or ear infections.

The thrush came when Robin was born (quite a common thing I believe.

She did get it cured but then developed mastitis and was really ill which is

when she had to have antibiotics and then the thrush came back. She wants to

try to prevent it before it happens or at least be able to be on top of it if it

does.

 

Thanks for all the info I'll pass it on.

Regards

Ann - Scotland
