Recurring thrush - tried everything

I’ve been having a recurring thrush for years. On and off. Went through an intense fluconazole treatment which helped for a bit but then the thrush came back. Recently after getting a UTI which was treated with antibiotics my thrush came back and it’s very intense. On top of it I feel very uncomfortable down there which has intensified ever-since I had UTI.

i tried all the basics: cotton underwear, no soap, organic cotton sanitary products etc.

I even tried medical grade honey. Still no luck.

Would appreciate some advice on what else I can try. I wonder if the root cause is deeper and would love to hear from others who had a similar issue. In the meantime trying to get an appointment with the GP.

I was back and forth to the Dr and on fluconazole (despite it not always showing up as thrush) and whether it was just pot luck or true I have no idea but....I started using a hypoallergenic washing powder and nothing else on my undies. I refuse to try anything else because after a year I'm happy it's gone.
Don't know if that's worth a shot but as you probably are now I was just desperate it's awful and I'm so sorry you're going through it.
