I get the Monistat and find something that will kill the yeast everywhere else, like difulcan, or something over the counter.

I am using Solaray's yeast cleanse right now, so far so good. I also take a lot of acidophilus.

Lemonhead - get rid of your tooth brush, you are reinfecting yourself with thrush

You can buy natural toothpaste ( Toms is a good brand) at natures stores

BUT it would hurt to just open up some PLAIN WHITE yogurt and hold it on your tongue as long as you can WITH acidophillus, capryllic acid, etc.

Oil of oregano and olive leaf extract are really good too. You can open the capsules and just sit them on your tongue. ( by the way, they MAY make you herx)

But in any case get rid of that toothbrush!

Ummmm, I forgot where you said you HAD the yeast so Ima gonna shut up now.

Oh yeah, dont forget garlic! Real garlic cloves, crush em up or whatever and use them where you have yeast.

If this is a vaginal yeast problem ( I cant remember what you said) Ive just used monistat.

Im not really into putting garlic or anything else DOWN there. HAHA

Good luck

I also have it currently in my mouth..Will try nystatin...I used to have the children's nytatin drops for thrush..Kids outgrew it but I finished it off.Worked most times..

There is some recipe for a vinegar douche out there somewhere..Not sure if it will work or not..Used if once when I had some toxic shock syndrome type crap. Years ago...

Would definitely beat garlic there..Although I know Crime didn't recommend it there.

My program:
For pain, itching burning etc, the best product I have found is "Yeastaway" by Boiron, found at Health food stores. 7 suppositories that will burn a bit in the beginning but really clear it up and stop pain and itching. It really works.

Nystatin four times a day
acidolpilis (sp) every day
yogurt (live cultures, plain) every day
NO NO NO sugar
You are not suposed eat simple sugars either (bread, pasta, white rice) but I lose too much weight that way and so I eat good wholewheat or sprouted bread, brown rice etc.

so Yeastaway has been a lifesaver for me.

and I still just can't seem to get it underwraps. I should've started taking more supplements before I went on treatment.

My diet has ALOT to do with it too. The Diflucan is really starting to work!!! I'm on IV's so that makes it harder to fight off, because Im getting such a strong dose of abx.

Not only did I have a nastyyeast infection(which is gone now)oh I didn't even need to use the 7 day store bought stuff, the diflucan pill took it right away.

I also have yeast soooo bad in my stomache. It's like when you make home made breads and you add the yeast and then it rises...That's what happens to my stomache! I really look 4-5 months pregnant.

Its horrible. My stomache bloats out so bad its hard for me to breath. I've yet to hear anyone on this site who has the same problem.

Yet my llmd says she sees it alot...

Anywy,Beverly where do you get Solaray's yeast cleanse? It sounds like good stuff!

TheCrimeOfLyme,I also use an all natural
toothpaste-never thought to cange my toothbrush-Dah

I am fighting exactly what Lemonhead described. So, I will be getting a new toothbrush thanx.

Dr.B,s rinse does sound good, how is it working?

Check back later, Jamie

Is that the only reason we should stay away from sugar?

I sent you an e-mail about some Texas LLMDs.

Here are 2 links about coconut oil for yeast infections. It also builds the immunity overall.

Here's Mo's suggestion for best brand & there's a lot of helpful information, too.

Try to read Mo's replies on the link below-----she has several on this link which are helpful; as is everyone's there.

I just went to the health food store & picked up a high quality one because I was impatient to get some.

Here's an informational site about how good coconut oil is for yeast/immunity. It's a colossal website.

This website is also full of info on magnesium which is so important for us. Lyme depletes magnesium. Then ABX also depletes Mg. And, ABX will not correct the problem.

Note: When you click on site below, a grey box will appear; just click the X in right hand corner & the site will come up for you. You'll really have to scan that left margin to find what you're looking for.

This is information overload, so sometime you might want to print parts of it out because it is too hard to take in at one time sitting at a desk.

Hope that helps some.

Take Care,
