[QUOTE="Spiral, post: 298893, member: 19371"] I was troubled with a fungal/yeast problem for years in the form of atheltes foot and I inevitably get thrush 2 weeks after finishing any course of antibiotics. I could set a calendar by it :roll: There are things you can do to help yourself with thrush. Once I started to get my blood sugar in to the normal range - your current HBA1C is good but it is at the high end of the normal range (and is the same as my last result) I was able to knock my athletes foot out with Llamisil when I was at about 5.9 and it has not returned. I suggest you make sure you get the right antifungal. When I have thrush I use Canestan and eat live yoghurt and kefir. Wear loose fitting clothes. Wear cotton underwear (or socks if you also have athletes foot). Change your clothes every day - your underwear more than once if it is hot and sweaty. Try to avoid sitting in sweaty seats - a colleague of mine got really bad thrush when she sat in a horrid sweaty plastic chair for several days on a course :shock: Use gentle toiletries. Dry everything thoroughly after bathing and let it all hang out for a while so the the air can get to it. Wear sandals as far as posible if you have athletes foot. If you go in the bath, add a couple of drops of tea tree oil to the water, it is anti fungal. Eat probiotics - live yoghurt and kefir. In fact use live yoghurt on your bits - if you were a lady I'd suggest an internal application. Oh yes, and if you have a partner, bear in mind you could infect him/her with it so make sure they get treated too. Stay cool. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
