[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Antibiotics can cause yeast to get out of control, because there's a reduced amount of beneficial bacteria in the gut to keep it in check. When my kids have a yeast flare up, they also have potty accidents and bedwetting, no matter what we try. Their behavior also gets a LOT worse. (Like, going from really great behavior to almost constant tantrums.)

It doesn't resolve until a few days of both Florastor and probiotics several times per day (with younger kids we slip them into meals and snacks, older ones just swallow the pills). The Florastor is a good yeast that wipes out the bad yeast. It doesn't live in the intestines though, so you need to keep taking it until you're sure they don't need it anymore. (Actually now we give it to our kids at least once a day as a maintenance dose and we haven't had any relapses.) You can get Florastor at Amazon, Costco or health stores.

I'd definitely get a couple bottles and try that for at least a few days before resorting to anything else. Good luck![/quote]

P.S. You don't need the "Kids" Florastor. It's just more expensive. It's basically tasteless so we just buy the regular stuff and then open the capsules and mix into yoghurt, yams, etc. The kids never notice.[/quote]
