OT Oral Thrush

[Guest guest]

I finally got a prescription for diflucan yesterday--10 days.  I've been using garlic, coconut and candidase but not getting really great results.  So the day after I start it, my tongue has broken out into painful bumps. 

 

I did a google and on the Mayo Clinic site, it says unsweetened yogurt can help re-balance the flora but does nothing to heal the thrush.  Anyone know if it helps get rid of it?

 

Also, it says if you have trouble swallowing, it can go to your esophagus, stomach and to your intestines, etc.

 

Further down, it says it's the same type of yeast as vaginal. 

 

Besides going to the green anti-yeast version of SCD, does it do any good to walk around with a spoonful of yogurt in my mouth? ;-)  And any other info welcome.  I feel hot and miserable--again.

Years ago my mother got oral thrush, some sort of after effect of

shingles. The doctor gave her some sort of Nystatin solution she had

to swish in her mouth several times a day.

I thought I'd get that but she gave me diflucan.  I guess that'll be a good start to kill off yeast before I do the candidase again.  I had it a few times when I took prednisone.  I couldn't eat anything sweet so actually it was good for when I started SCD.  I was already off sugar but illegal carbs like biscuits were hard.

 

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind if I can't kick it with cutting out all sweets (maybe a little honey every now and then since I'm stopping the cinnamon for awhile).
