Thrush Anyone?

Holy cow!! I developed oral thrush and talk about painful!! Wish I'd been warned about this possibility. It got so bad it started going down my throat. I have barely gotten any Water down let alone Protein. Anyone else?

I think i've heard of one or two on this site with a problem. Go to this website, there's lots of help for systemic yeast overgrowth:

www.yeastinfectionadvisor.com

It helped me get rid of intestinal yeast i'd been battling for years without knowing the root cause of my symptoms. It manifests in ways like oral thrush. Interesting reading...

I also had thrush. I had to take serious doses of antibiotics- 4 different courses of different kinds. It would get better, then come back. I started to gargle with listerine and that helped. The thrush lasted about 6 weeks. Make sure you talk to your doctor, so that you get the right treatment. Good luck.

I have not had it, however I was warned I could get it from the Advair inhalor I was on, well they said any oral steroid inhalor. Do not know if this helps.

It's kinda crazy that antibiotics are given as a cure for yeast, since the antibiotics kill off everything that then allows the yeast to thrive and grow. It's kind of like throwing gasoline on a fire to put it out. The yeast has to be literally starved to death. Take away its food source and it dies. Check out that website I put above. Its very interesting.

I got this twice right after my surgery. Absolutely no fun. I hope you feel better soon.
