I am sure no doctor & I feel everyone needs to read everything

they can, but for me, I think taking vitamin C to bowel tolerance

each & every day before exposure to infection is the best possible

course of action. If your daughter is not able to keep accurate

track of what her body needs, have her do the bowel tolerance testing

once when she is at home, then give her about 3/4 that much in

divided doses after that. Chewable vitamin C lozenges can be used

like candy treats she can be encouraged to take all day long. More

expensive than plain C, but probably easier for a kid.
