recurrent thrush??

[smeeinit]

my sisters friend keeps getting thrush,shes done all the things the doc tells you to do,wear cotton knickers,dont wear tight jeans etc but it keeps coming back very regularly.
does anyone have any cures apart from the natural yogurt one which she has tried?

treat her partner at same time? men can get thrush too

is the natural yogurt live .. it has to be live and inserted on a tampon

canesten can be pretty good

print this out for her

it's taking me forever to get rid of mine

I thought it was recurring but turns out it never went away

they can give you much more kick-ass stuff than those overnight jobbies

she needs the drugs, man

arr excellent stuff! i knew MN would come through for her!! ta ladies!

Bit drastic but it worked for me when Diflucan stopped working.
Cut out ALL sugar and yeast products (including wine and beer ). It took about 6-8 weeks but it went and has only come back after anti-biotics which I try and avoid like the plague!
Its very hard to cut out sugar as its in everything but it did work. Hardest bit was finding alternative things to snack on but the positives were: I felt really well, the thrush went and I lost a load of weight.

HTH

has she had a swab taken? might not be thrush.

I bought some acidophilus lactobacillus from an independant health food shop. It's a probiotic, like in the youghurt drinks, but in a much higher dose and without all the nasty sugars that are in the drinks. It helps by keeping the bacteria levels balanced, and seems to be working for me.

hmm im not sure if shes ahd a swab taken or not,i shall ask me sis...........

I'd advise her to go see the dr or nurse, just in case. I hope I'm not alarming you but, you can get recurrent thrush with diabetes. I'd get it checked in case, at least the dr could give her some Kick ass stuff.

oh crap wine and beer?
