I read the common symptoms of candida and my family has nearly all. unfortunately the same symptoms are present with other illnesses.
I have never had a yeast infection in my life and recently it seems that i can not get rid of them. over the past year i have had more than a dozen. my whole family has been pretty ill for just about a year now since we had water damage that resulted in mold. we had testing done and came back with extremely high counts of aspergillus, penicillium and candidiasis. we paid big bucks for the testing and the resulting cleanup. the follow up air tests came back within normal ranges, and we did not live at home during the cleanup and unfortunately had to destroy most of our personal belongings. the problem is we are still sick and the children seem to be getting even worse.
I am breastfeeding my 14 month old. he doesn't seem to be so bad, but he does get yeast type rashes in the folds of his skin in the diaper area regardless of frequent changings. he also gets a rash similar to heat rash on his chest.
my 29 month old is the one i am most worried about. first of all he has an intense craving for sugar( worse than most kids) a few times after having high quantities of chocolate he has had tremors like a mild seizure. the dr. said that these are chilhood tremors.(fairly common)he was very colicky as an infant and never seemed to out grow it. i had to stop breastfeeding when i became pregnant again. he was too young for whole milk and couldn't tolerate formula. the dr. had me put him on soy milk. since i stopped breastfeeding he has had nearly constant diahhrea. the dr. said this was toddler diahhrea and again, normal. i have noticed that his crankiness is in direct relation to his bm's. if they are firmer he's happier. since he is over 24 months, the dr.s have now said that he has celiac disease. now i know that they are way off. i have done some experimenting with his diet, and he can consume high quantities of milk products and gluten and still have fairly firm stools. lots of water doesn't increase the diahhrea, but sugar not only is a gurantee of liquid stools, he seems to become extremely ill overall after eating candy.if he is feeling a little ill and he eats candy he feels better, but then gets much worse. i thought maybe hypoglcemia or even diabetes but blood counts are normal. about 2 months after the diahhrea started he developed skin tags on his rectum and complained of his bum hurting inside. he also gets a rash around his mouth that looks like really badly chapped lips that have spread to his face.
i have noticed that MY pooh has had like a white coating over it with lower anatomy itching.
my husband and i are planning to start the parasite and bowel cleanse and once we have seen how it affects us determine if we should try it on the kids, but i am very concerned about giving my son something that will make him even sicker.
i have read the post and heard about the dieoff and am concerned that this too would be just too much for the little guy.
i am sorry for such a long post, but i am feeling desperate as we are all getting progressively worse. any help, suggestions, tips, advice, anything would be very much appreciated. thankyou. tracie
I am new to candida and am amazed at the havoc it can cause. It sounds like many of your symptoms are related if not all. Your son's diaper rash and your other son's sugar cravings in particular are suspect in their cases. I am breastfeeding a 12 month old who is not very symptomatic right now but is on a bit of a restricted diet (he still eats few solids anyway so it's not that hard). I am still learning about what all I can take myself while breastfeeding and in the process will probably find out what is safe for young children. I'll let you know if I make any great discoveries. You will want to take the healing process slowly with your children because the die off can be pretty nasty. Take care,
I forgot to mention: there is this "spit test" to tell if you have candida. Keep a glass of water by your bedside table and as soon as you wake up, spit into the water. Let the glass sit for a few minutes, comes back, and if the spit is swirling around in the water, you've got it. If it's floating on top, you don't. Make sure you've brushed your teeth and all that the night before and remember to spit first thing -- like you have to if you are checking your basal body temperature.
Tracie, please email me at conniefarley@earthlink.net I have a few questions about the mold issue. I'm new here and don't have any answers for you, but will say a prayer for your family. Thanks, Connie
Because you and your family have such a large number of symptoms and a history of heavy mold exposure, I would recommend you find a practitioner (preferably an MD) that uses the services of the Great Smokies Diagnostic Lab and have that individual make a complete workup on each of you. It sounds like you have more than just digestive upset from Candidiasis and may have endocrine imbalances from the mold toxins. The gsdl has a large number of tests to screen for functional deviations in the body and in the hands of a holistic MD their services can be a Godsend in untangling the problems you are left with in the aftermath of fungal exposure. If you do not have a physician that uses their services, go to gsdl.com and use their contact page to get a list of practitioners from them. God bless.
THANKYOU ALL FOR YOUR FEEDBACK.AMANDA, PLEASE DO KEEP ME POSTED ABOUT THE RESULTS OF YOUR RESEARCH ABOUT WHAT IS SAFE TO CHILDREN.
NIGHTRIDER, I WILL ASK MY DR. IF HE WILL USE THAT LAB, IF HE CAN, HE WILL. AND THANKYOU.
CONNIE, I AM EMAILING YOU NEXT.
THANKS AGAIN,TRACIE
Well with all the problems your family is going thru I can see where stress can play a roll in why you have candida. I'll tell you my story.
I was perfectly health about 92 or so. I have had a couple ops in my life that required antibiotics. When i was 34 four i had went thru a divorce that wasnt my choice. I lost everything. You could say i was the most stressed then than any other time in my life. About three months after my X and i seperated I broke my leg. I was given antibiotics. I noticed a couple monts after I would get little swelling on the bottom of my feet. Also i would get tingly and itchy in my underarms. About 6 months after the antibiotics I had an eggplant sandwhich and broke out in a 60% body rash. Since then I have had symptoms like swelling in my tounge to my lips swelling and joint areas swelling. Seemed like certain foods would trigger different problems. Not until I went to a health food store did i even know what was happening. Addresed several doctors on candida but not one believes. I tried all the known natural remedies. I have been thru the die off symptoms several times but still could not get rid of it. Sometimes my lips would get hot and chapped from a food reaction. A couple times I even had swelling on the side of that thing we men so try to keep out of harms way. Scarey, huh, lol. Anyways I read about three lac and tried it. After about 2 weeks i noticed i was eating more without reactions. I did a two month supply of three lac in about a month. If i did have a die off reaction it was like that feeling you get when you think you might be getting the flu. But it passed. Second month I ordered three lac and primal defence. Figured more is better, Right ??. Anyways I have done this for about 4 months and as of now i have no food reactions. Well i do have one. I have now put on 8 lbs. Now i need to go to DR GYM. ;-) One thing I do recommend is if you do try to do this place your whole family on this as soon as possible. No use fighting this if your not going to try to irradacate the house of this controlling situation. No use having one person getting better if you still have to deal with everyones elses problem which is injecting stress into the injection of the treatment. Any more ?'s feel free to ask, Good Luck, Skip
thankyou skip.
my husband and i are going to start the parasite and bowel cleanse. i don't want to give it to my children till i see how it affects us.as far as candida, i have heard that die off can be very bad.all the research i have done seems to continually point to parasite and candida though.
my next question, where do you get threelac, and is it safe for children 2 and under? do you know of any who have used it on children?
thanks, tracie
Hi there,
Raider should be kickin around here any time now. She sells it and is very infomative on the products. She can help you further with this. :)
Type in three lac in the search field. I get it from HealthTrax Cost about $65 for a 2 month supply. I cant say how your die off will be but i can tell you that I tried all those parasite cleanes to no avail. Three lac works by getting past your stomach acids and treating your intestines. If you try anything else be sure it says it treats the intestine or else it may not get rid of it deep in your body. I have not found one thing that does suggest it treats the intestines other than three lac and primal defense. After trying three lac and just about everything else i would highly reccomend not wasting your money on old science. Three lac is a new product designed to get deep into your system to atack the cause. Remember that candida is a off balance situation. Your not trying to get rid of the yeast. We all have it as a benifit within our system. All your trying to do is offset it back to the balance it was meant to be at.When you do this only then will you be able to absorb the nutrients in food to maintain your own immune system.

Skip,
Your post is very good and I agree with everything but the dosage.
1 can for $65.00 should last 1 month you need to be taking at least 2 packets a day. There is 60 packets in a can.
Also,I am sorry you had to pay $65.00 a can.
If you need anymore I am selling to anyone here at curezone for only $50.00 a can thats wholesale. Plus shipping.
Are you taking the Hydroxygen plus too?
God Bless and I hope you are feeling better soon!
Raider
What I did the first couple weeks was take anywhere from 2 to four pack a day. Afer thhat i cut down to 2 then 1. Went thru my first can in about a month. ordered a jar of primal defence and three lac the second month and it lasted about month and a half. Then went back to just three lac. Since i had this for ten years i figured its better to kick the crap out of those critters in the beginning and then do maintenance for acouple months. I did do food grade hydrogen peroxide a few times. A few drops in water in the beginning but didnt like the feeling so i stopped. Still without it within a couple weeks in the beginning i was at a point I could eat again. Since I'm not trying to avoid bad foods I figured i'd stay with the program for a few months just to be safe. I can be one to attest that one does not have to change their diet. Just be conservative with it in the beginning for safety.

thankyou all for your responses.
raider suggested that i call the manufacturers (she gave me the numbers) with my questions concerning the kids. i plan on doing that tommorrow. i will keep you all posted with our results. started Clarkia today and holistic horizons bowel cleanse and Lactobacillus acidophilus and other probiotics. i'll see if its safe to combine the threelac with it.
thanks again and God bless you all.
