Shirley,

I have had candida for years and tried all sorts of complicated dietary and 
vitamin-mineral regimes with no luck.  Then, on this list, a few weeks ago, 
someone said that taking Kefir would eliminate the candida because Kefir 
contains yeasts that kill off candida yeasts. Within three days my most awful 
symptom -- an itching rash that traveled around to different parts of my body 
-- was reduced. Now, after three weeks I am rash free. You can find Kefir at 
most health food stores and in some supermarkets-- in my area the Safeway has 
Kefir, which is a cousin of yogurt, but has those different yeasts.  Good 
luck with your son.
