I've been reading more of The Candida Cure and I'm at the section of the two-pronged strategy. So I'm finally at a part where I'm going to get the skinny on how to go about curing Jeannette. So the goal of treating candidiasis is to kill fungus and eradicate excess yeast. I got the answer to my biggest question. Will she ever get rid of the Candida? The answer was "NO!" The body never fully rids itself of yeast, but the answer is how to get the levels balanced. The first strategy is to take a antifungal supplement to kill the yeast overgrowth. The second is to modify the diet to starve off the excess yeast.
Today Jeannette had an appointment to get another urine culture done. This one was to be done through the alternative medical doctor. She had brown rice cereal for breakfast. I didn't give her the multi-vitamin today because of the urine culture being done. I didn't want it to be tainted. I don't remember what I had packed her for lunch today. But when she got home from school, she had a yogurt with her probiotic.
I got a call later and was told that Jeannette indeed did have a urinary tract infection and she was going to be put on another antibiotic. Great! Another antibiotic. I don't get it. I'm completely perplexed. I feel like I've been doing all I can with this diet and eliminating certain foods and her exposure to the water and she gets a UTI? Now, this is the longest she's been, but still? So now I have no clue what to do or how to move forward or how to handle this?
Thankfully, she can take this antibiotic along with the diflucan. But because of that, she needs to increase the amount of probiotics that she's currently taking. Instead of once a day, she needs to take it 2-3 times a day. For dinner, I made her the brown rice pasta with her special marinara sauce. She hasn't had the pasta in awhile and because it's high in carbs, I try not to give it to her too often. For dessert, she had a piece of her special fudge.
