Sharon, One of my closest friends has three daughters. They and his wife had bladder, urinary tract and female problems for years. They were always taking antibiotics etc. Someone talked his wife into stopping all dairy products and sugars for a month. Unbelievable as it might sound, before the test was over, their problems had cleared up; and without the use of any antibiotics. I understand from his wife that the few times they reverted to their old eating habits, the problems returned. Did not take those girls long to figure out what they no longer wanted to eat. Thought you might want to try this before letting them at your little girl.
