A pregnant woman may experience an increase in Candida growth due to hormonal changes normal to pregnancy. If she already has Candida or is very susceptible, an outbreak may occur in the birth canal. The baby will then contract it and become infected as it passes through the birth canal. Severe diaper rash, rectal rashes or infections, rashes in the genital area, and colic are the most common symptoms in babies. Thrush, rashes, infections of the ear, nose, and throat, gas, diarrhea or constipation are all possible indicators.
Food allergies are common.
These are, in reality, reactions due to the excess yeast growth. Asthma or eczema is also a common indicator of Candida. In a child, it is very important to use only non-toxic natural substances to kill the yeast overgrowth. Children are not developed physically to handle toxic drugs. The treatment must be gentle.
