Could Your Son or Daughter Possibly Have A Yeast Infection?

To start with allow me to start by answering the question, “What is … a yeast infection in a child?” To answer that you have to understand a little bit regarding our digestion system. Most likely many of you have heard about the friendly bacteria living in our intestines. There are several strains of these organisms. A very important one for humans is the Lactobacillus family. The most well-known of these is almost certainly Acidophilus. You might be aware of yogurt containers broadcasting that they contain “live cultures” or “active cultures”. You may have noticed that yogurt is really a healthy food. Well, this is why. Yogurt contains Acidophilus which is essential for the digestive tract to function properly. However Acidophilus doesn’t appear as a major part of the intestinal bacteria until a child is approximately 7 years old.
