They may become ill as the yeast is dying. When it is confirmed that the yeast is eliminated through proper testing, Bifidus bacteria must be given to establish friendly protective bacteria. Acidophilus may cause a child to produce excess lactic acid which can lead to mineral deficiencies, digestive problems, and fatigue. When the bacteria has been re-introduced, proper testing must be done to determine vitamin and mineral deficiencies. When the yeast is gone, and replaced by friendly bacteria, the child's digestion will be in good enough shape to digest and use vitamins.

Vitamins A, C, zinc, magnesium, and essential fatty acids are vital to keeping a child's immune system strong so that antibiotics will not be relied on. The Child's Diet A child with yeast must avoid milk and yogurt, as they contain milk sugar. Milk sugar will feed yeast, create congestion, mucus, and weaken the child's immune system. So these foods should be avoided as well. A child with Candida is often mislabeled hyperactive or learning disabled by misinformed people who seek to put children on dangerous drugs.
