Thrush - Breastfeeding

[Guest guest]

To anyone who has gotten rid of thrush on the nipple by doing the

anti-candida diet... help! It's been seven months (oh yes!) that I've

been dealing with chronic thrush on my nipples. The baby has never

showed any signs in her mouth. I've tried everything (diflucan,

grapefruit seed extract, baking soda, gentian violet, herbal salves

with tea tree oil, herbal tinctures taken internally). The latest is

to put a little clay mask on, followed with a grapefruit seed

extract/water bath, and then my trusty herbal salve. And with that I

have managed to keep it at a tolerably low but still annoying level

until now. I have to take an intense course of antibiotics for a

mastitis infection (probably as a result of the chronic thrush), uggh,

and the thrush immediately got much worse. So I think I'm ready to do

the anti-candida diet but I'm feeling discouraged. Nothing has worked

and I need some convincing that if I do the anti-candida diet, it will

be worth it (especially heading into tantalizing holiday meals) and

I'll actually get rid of this thrush once and for all. Help.
