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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
