I have a nephew who may or may not have celiac (has not been tested yet) and he has had a yeast infection for almost 6 months. The doctor gave his mom cream to treat it and now they jsut apply OTC Vagisil. Any suggestions for a stubborn yeast infection?

Me and my kids have this problem a lot...but now that I think about it we havne't since starting a gluten-free diet...interesting.....anyway, give him acidophilis. Yogurt and buttermilk have it, but you can get a chewable vitamin type at the drug store that is good. I use Mason's brand because it's gluten free. I take a pill form, but give my son this. A prescription cure that is great if fluconozole. It's a one pill form for adults, but there is a liquid form for kids that worked great for my infant daughter. yeast infections run in my family terribly bad. I've got more experience that I ever wanted. Another thing is to let the area get air. Go w/out a diaper if he's in one, or just without clothes some if he isn't, even if it's just to sleep. Hope that helps!

My dd suffered for many months with candida before she way diagnosised with celiac disease. You might go to Open Original Shared Link. I also went on this program as well as my dd for several months. You can search the forum for questions pertaining to children. They are are very supportive forum that have a professional that comes online to answer questions.

We've used many different probiotics with dd. It is helpful to have a supplement that doesn't contain too much sugar, if any. The latest one we've tried is gluten-free & CF. The product is forumlated for children by UAS Labs. The supplement is in a base of rice powder. I usually sprinkle the powder in her drink and she dosen't even know it's in there.

Hope this helps! :)

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
