It seems that this is not related to breastfeeding, as it has persisted x 4
yrs post weaning. It seems this is some kind of pervasive systemic problem,
as the mother reports many many infections and allergies in various body
systems. A course of treatment with antibiotics or antifungals or both will
NOT likely cure this lady, as she's tried it all before.

I think she is on the right track seeing some specialty physicians. She may
also want to see a naturopath or visit some other "alternative" modalities.
I would certainly suggest a look at her diet which might need to be totally
revamped, and environment and life stressors.

An immune dysfunction is certainly a possibility; diabetes; candida systemic
infection, or some other organism, even something like Sjogen's syndrome, or
other autoimmune disorder. This is beyond the scope of an LC, I think,
although the LC can certainly help guide this woman towards help for her
problems.
