Candida Antifungal Treatment - Is It Ok to Take GSE Whilst Breastfeeding?
My friend asked if it is OK to take antifungals (GSE) whilst breastfeeding.
His wife has recently started a yeast/sugar-free diet and is feeling a bit below par, possibly due to the dying candida cells.
He wants to know if there is any chance these "chemicals" and/or the antifungals could get passed through the breast milk.
From my experience, we have to watch our baby carefully.
I gave my baby yeast because she bit my nipples and she stopped babbling, was in excruciating pain, had the shakes was miserable.
We first noticed her yeast in the diaper area.
The doctor used topical cream, but from reading "Super Immunity for Kids" by Dr.
Leo Galland, I knew it was not to be taken lightly.
That's why I gave the baby (5 months) 400,000 IU per day of Nystatin and lacto bacillus.
Within a week she was back to normal.
Another friend of mine didn't discover that she had Candida until her breastfed daughter was around three months old.
Until then, she thought she just had a very fussy bay.
It turned out that it made her milk gassy for the baby when her yeast was up.
Has your daughter been gassy? Anyway, she discovered the candida because they started having thrush problems and she started researching yeast in general.
Her midwife gave her diflucan and she didn't want to take it even though it is safe.
As for the GSE, she could safely take 10 drops of it in water twice a day.
She managed to keep the candida at bay and also helped her lose over 60 pounds with the diet and the GSE.
But, eventually she got to the point that she could not eat anything but protein.
Even the small amount of carbohydrates in veggies aggravated her yeast and made her daughter gassy.
The problem was the die off caused her to be gassy, too, because of all of the toxins.
She had to strike a balance.
Sadly, she had to wean her daughter last month, so that she can take meds and get the candida under control.
She managed to nurse her for 14 months.
I know that it is very possible to nurse with candida.
I believe there are a lot of "safe" drugs on the market.
If I were you, I would find a holistic doctor to guide me.
