I have been researching thrush or candida for a very long time. Diet is a lot of the reason a child might begin having thrush. Trush thrives on milk. If your child craves milk after he is past breast feeding then he may be having an allergic reaction to milk. Did you know that a calve will die if given homogenized milk instead of their cow mother's milk for 9 weeks. Milk tastes good but for many it is very toxic.
There are many health substitutes for milk such as rice milk, coconut milk, oatmeal milk, almond milk. If they do not have a good commercial substitute where you live then
you may blend almonds in ice to taste for a nice drink. Adding a little vanilla extract may make it taste better for your child. It may take some getting used to but milk messes with one's internal flora.
Red dye is another culprit. Avoid sugary drinks with red dye.
Chemical sensitivities may aggrivate or cause thrush. Cleaning products or bathing products that have scents in them are often toxic and cause health problems including thrush. Eliminate cleaning products with scents and add your own essential oils to shampoos and avoid laundry detergents with scents.
Thrush thrives on sugar. Sugary drinks are 25% of American's calorie intake and cause
a body to become addicted to those calories. A substitute stevia is a good but avoid aspertaine or diet drinks. Diet drinks are adictive and toxic.
Distilled water. Children may not like water but it is critical for a healthy body. Distilled water is best but I recommend adding a dozen grains of rice to a gallon of water remineralize the water. Your child should be drinking water every day.
Apple Cider Vinegar is the best treatment for thrush. ACV neutralizes the internal flora and allows our bodies to digest and process foods better. Mix 1 teaspoon of water into mango juice or some other juice and add cinnamon to taste. Take three times daily until the thrush ends. If any mucous comes back after that, start with the ACV again. Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar is the best however be careful not to get apple flavoured Vinegar. It is not the same thing.
What we put in our body is what we get out. You must become conscious of what you
feed your family. Kitchen assasains don't know they are making their family sick but
a sensitive body showes signs it desires changes to make it healthy again. Be conscious of those changes and you will never regret it.
Recurring Thrush
If you are dealing with recurring Thrush and have not gotten medical attention yet, do not wait any longer. If your attempts at treatment have not worked that the Thrush may be chronic and require some type of medication to keep yourself clean and healthy. Ref. Source 3
