8 year old female; no immuno-compromising issues; healthy, active, though she does have a tendency toward sensory processing issues, and because of it can have serious, irrational melt-downs. Lately, the yeast infections have flared up, and so has the sensory processing issues/behavior. I’m starting to wonder if there could be a connection between the presence of yeast and possibly blood sugar levels that affect her behavior? She’s been tested for diabetes - all clear.

Kids can get these infections from poor hygiene.
Not wiping properly or running around in a wet bathing suit too long.
Hi blood sugars do help yeast grow- just like you need sugar in any yeast product to make it grow.
Diets that are high in sugar can definately cause recurring yeast infections. Cutting back on carbs will help quite a bit because the yeast will have less to eat.
