Approaches for Candida & Breast Feeding

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

Do you have a particular approach or product you use when helping a nursing mom

who is struggling with Candida? Especially where breasts, belly & vaginal yeast

are presenting.

 

Thanks!

A sugar free, low carb diet is essential. She needs to eat fermented foods that

will outcompete the candida but cannot be further fermented by yeasts. The

mother needs to deal with dampness and spleen qi deficiency most likely- what is

her pattern? You can get gentian violet over the counter and use it for thrush-

paint it on the inside of the baby's mouth and the nipples. Yin care works well

for the vaginal candida. But you need to get rid of the dampness.
