Thrush Problems at 15w Pregnant

Hello, is anyone else out there suffering with persistent thrush which just WON'T go away? I'm 15 weeks pregnant and have had thrush pretty much since I conceived! (confirmed via swab). I've tried Canesten cream, Canesten pessaries, Canesten cream via applicator and nothing is working. Could the infection be resistant to Canesten? I've also got brown discharge on and off which doctor has linked to the infection. Apparently the best thing for it is the oral tablet but you can't take that whilst pregnant! Anyone know of anything else?

I laid off the wheat and yeast stuff and started to srink a spoonful of apple cider vinegar (cold pressed faffy number from Health food store...not supermarket bog standard) and had a few baths with a bit of it in there which helped me out :) Canesten only worked periodically for me in terms of relief but never got rid of the problem :(

Thanks, will give it a go. I've been craving carbs so badly since I got pregnant so I bet I'm feeding the infection!
