Yeast

What is the best for a little girl's yeast inf? My dd8 has really red,itchy bottom and Vusion just doesn't cut it anymore.

The only thing I have found that works for my daughter is oral diflucan. Ointments and creams do not work because I cannot apply them internally.

The Biomeds say reduce yeast proliferating foods in the diet - sugary foods, bread and cereals, and take probiotics. (Holds true for me!)

My DD6 used to get infections all the time. Vusion was of limited help. I eventually resorted to using the adult cream applied externally and maybe a millimeter internally applied oh so carefully with a q-tip. Nothing intrusive, just a bit to help with the itching sensation. Then limiting sugars, pushing cranberry juice. We also did two weeks of TruFlora probiotics daily, then went to TruFlora twice a week and Theralac the other 5 days. She hasn't had a yeast infection since (it's been a year) despite ebing on two abx for bartonella). The TruFlora is meant to discourage yeast and has been far better for her than culturelle.
