First thanks to everyone who has helped me out and responded on this board so far! I have 3 questions....

I'm two weeks into treatment for bart with clarithromycin and have developed a yeast infection.

I've been prescribed diflucan but am wondering in your opinion should I wait until the last week of treatment (I'm only on this treatment for a month) to take it...thus possibly avoiding a second round of infection?

SECOND..I have a bad feeling the treatment won't work (when does one month of clarithromycin clear anything?)...I definitely don't feel better and am in fact feel a little worse and am experiencing some symptoms of bart I hadn't before...rash and tingly feet. Is this what they call herxing...I thought that was supposed to happen in the very beginning of treatment?

THIRD..if in fact the treatment doesn't work and I need longer term help I'm trying to get in the sugar-free diet mindset. Lots of negativity around artificial sweeteners other than stevia and I understand this. I have tried a few things with maltitol and don't plan on using that as a substitute unless I really need a chocolate bad. But do artificial sweeteners such as maltitol promote yeast? Is there medical "proof" of this because I can't find anything.....

Thanks everyone for your comments...

Take the Diflucan NOW before things get any worse. Start your DIET now before things get any worse.

Herxes can happen ALL THROUGHOUT treatment and usually DO.

Malitol promotes yeast. The proof would be in ingesting it and see how the yeast grows! [Wink]

Believe me, you'll find out.
