ment of yeast: caprylic acid (found separately and in coconut oil); grapefruit seed extract; garlic; pau d’arco (in capsule and tea forms); and oregano oil. However, due to potential yeast die-off effects, and because candida mutates at differing rates in each patient and can become resistant to any antifungal, it is critical to obtain professional guidance when using these remedies for this purpose.
Probiotics
The human digestive system (stomach, small and large intestines) contains 70-80% of all of the body’s immune cells. It thus follows that a strong immune system begins with a healthy digestive system. A child’s digestive tract is fragile and its flora can be readily thrown off balance. Daily administration of probiotics crowds out and replaces the yeast in the gut, thus helping to restore healthy immunity. When choosing the right child-formulated probiotic for your child, look for one that ideally: (1) is refrigerated (to preserve the live flora); (2) has multiple types of friendly bacteria strains (e.g., lactobacillus acidophilus, bifidobacterium bifidum/longum/infantis); (3) is coated (to protect the flora from stomach acid, allowing them to be delivered alive to the intestines) or powdered (for easier administration); (4) contains a pre-biotic that feeds the friendly/good bacteria (e.g., FOS, Inulin); (5) contains L-glutamine and NAG (to protect the intestinal mucosal lining, especially against leaky gut syndrome); (6) has at least 3 billion microorganisms; and (7) is dairy-free. The strains saccharomy- ces boulardii (prevents yeast growth) and bifidobacteria BB536 (a par- ticularly well-studied strain that reduces production of inflammatory cytokines), can also be instrumental in combatting yeast overgrowth.
