I gave my son Nystatin but the stupid medicine had sugar in it (which feeds yeast) so it didn't work. I gave him nothing else and eventually he cleared up, too. That was it, so amazingly simple. I still go braless around the house as a preventive measure.

I would like to point out, however, that it is not usually recommended for individuals with autoimmune diseases to take immune stimulants such as echinacea. Being that the immune system is already overactive in such individuals, echinacea can cause a disease flare.Chasing the Little Chunnstershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953522411312998131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31180029.post-91765073044652312142010-05-27T16:35:32.085-04:002010-05-27T16:35:32.085-04:00We used gentian violet for a mild case of thrush w...We used gentian violet for a mild case of thrush when my daughter was about 6 weeks old.
