My 10 year old daughter craves sugar ALL THE TIME. She is on the autism spectrum (high functioning) and has terrible ADHD.
I did the "spit test" on her to see if she showed signs of candida overgrowth. Yep... very obvious. So I went to the store today and bought a product manufactured by enzymatics or something like that that is to kill the candida. I want to start her on it soon.
My question is, do I just remove all sugar from her diet at once (which will be very difficult for her... and those of us who live with her!) or can I allow her a little something sweet?
What sort of foods, besides obvious sweets (candy, cakes, cookies, fruit juice and kool aid) do I avoid?
And will she ever be completely rid of it or will we have to fight it always. (This enzyme wasn't cheap).
Hope you can help me!
