Answer
Hi, The Atopica is a good drug.  It takes time to kick in.
You can also try a good Probiotic.  I would give 1 Acidophilus per day for 90 days.
It's all Natural and will balance out any excessive yeast.
See here:  this is what you need to look for in your country:
Look for at least 1 billion CFUs
