For my dd the yeast rash she had for over a year was because her system has an overgrowth of yeast. We have started a diet to heal her (and me) of candidia overgrowth. Come over to Healing the Gut Tribe to learn about it. Nothing else worked for any length of time.
reoccuring yeast rash
Hi. This may not be the appropriate place for this question, but I'll give it a go. My DS (1yr tommorrow!) has a reoccuring yeast rash on his inner thighs. It will go away for a couple of weeks but then comes back, sometimes with a vengence. I've tried various things such as more diaper free time, using only wool dipe covers, and I take probiotics (acidophilus) so I figure he gets it through my breastmilk. Last time I broke down and started using some OTC antifungal cream and it cleared it up. I just really don't want to have to use so much of that stuff! Anything natural that can cure it up?

I would buy live probiotics and put it right on his rash. Mix it with a little water to make a paste or just dust his thighs with it directly. I get recurring yeast under my right breast (I know, gross) and I just slather on a little plain yogurt and it is not only a relief to the painful skin, after two times the yeast goes away.
I also gave the probiotics directly to my kids. Because it's a bacteria, I don't think it goes through the breastmilk in the same way a medication does.

We bought an ointment in the health food store and it really worked.
I would think any ointment with these ingredients would work:
Calendula, Comfrey, White oak bark, Althea Root, Mullein, Eucalyptus Oil, Tea tree oil, Citronella.

Thanks, ladies. I was already thinking of giving DS some probiotics directly. I guess I'll order some. And how do I get involved with the "healing the gut tribe"? I'm new here, links?
