Hello fellow sufferers!! I too have had numerous yeast infections, but I've had problems with them for years and they've often occurred at the same time as my frequent UTIs (interesting.....). The most recent one occurred as I was having my BCG - I put it down to the frequent washing we have to do, but now I am intrigued that there may be some other connection? The only treatment I can get for thrush from my GP is anti-fungals, not a great long-term solution in my book, and he has absolutely NO clue as to how I could go about preventing an attack in the first place. My friend who lives in Spain has recommended various 'acidifying' products that I can't get over here, she offers to post them to me! I've just started an aggressive dietary regime of cutting out all refined sugar (easy at home but I'm not so sure about eating out...) plus a herbal supplement plus Acidophilus capsules plus 'good' yoghurt plus probiotic cereals (phew!) - I'll let you know how I get on!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for creating this place where we can all talk about such things!! Thrush can make you feel so :-[ and finding people to talk to who understand makes me feel so much more
