I'm so glad you have found relief for your son, but I strongly doubt the Difulcan can work that fast. Yeast takes quite awhile to die and the "host" feels like total crap during the dying off process, and you haven't mentioned him going through any of those symptoms. Most courses of candida treatment extend over a period 3 - 6 months, so this is why I strongly doubt your son found such immediate relief from the drug. I would think, rather, that maybe there IS a merciful God and that his cycle just ended. When you say you used your Grandfather's O2 tank, did he get relief? Was your Grandfather a clusterhead too?
I hate to hear of such a little guy going through this hell. Must be so hard to be a mom and witness it. Do you (or did you) use ice to help him through his attacks?
Whatever worked, I hope relief is sustained.
Best of luck to you both
