Guest guest Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 In my opinion the best thing for thrush is to change diet (no gluten, sugar, little or no dairy) and take probiotics. That made the biggest difference for me. But, it does take a long time to clear it up this way and changing my diet also created a herx reaction. Connie [ ] Texas Lyme Docs Does anyone want to email me privately about any docs you know of in Texas that take insurance. My current doc is LLMD but he is limited and I want to plan ahead for getting another doc that might have more experience. This current doc does not do IV antibiotics, not that I need them now, although my lyme is neurolyme so sometimes I really question whether oral is ever going to be enough. email jfeliciano@... also, have thrush on my tongue, any suggestions... it's purple right now from using Gentian Violet, I think someone else said grapefruit seed extract..?

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I totally agree, I think a good probiotic with 50 Billion cultures is the best. My hubby got thrush when he first started antibiotics and the doctor gave him a mouthwash for it and he brushed his teeth and tongue several times a day, but I think the stronger probiotic helped the most. Connie, what was your herx reaction??

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I changed my diet about a year and 1/2 before I was diagnosed. I started herxing with major heart symptoms after about eight months on no gluten, sugar, and low dairy. I also had epic constipation, shortness of breath, dizziness. It was weird, some of my symptoms were getting better (skin, nails and hair improved, lost a little weight, eyes clearer) and others kept getting worse. Later my LLND told me my body got well enough from the diet change that it started to fight the bugs and gave me a huge herx response. Things keep getting better for me. It's been almost a year since I first went to the emergency room and I'd say I'm about 70% normal now. Slow but steady.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 To keep it simple... no gluten, sugar, low dairy. To make it complicated... I follow the Geno Type Diet, which is a later version of the Blood Type Diet. The Geno Type Diet is based on specific body measurements and your blood type. I had been following the basic blood type diet for years, but when I changed to the Geno Type Diet that's when I really started to get better (and herx). Here's their website if you want more information. http://www.dadamo.com/media/gtd.htm I ended up getting what is called a Swami, which is a personalized diet that goes into even more specific health details. I have a blog on that site as well http://www.dadamo.com/B2blogs/blogs/index.php?blog=39 But, of course that's not all I'm doing. I've taken Buhner herbs for a while, then my doctor had me start on some of the Cowden protocol. Then my new doctor had me start on A-Bab and then A-Bart. I take a LOT of supplements and supportive herbs. I do a number of things to detox. It just seems that most things I try help, so to me it means the base of eating well sets of the building blocks to healing the body. Best, Connie Re: [ ] Texas Lyme Docs That is terrific!!!!
