[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1629509, member: 408573"] When I suffered Thrush (on and off for over a year before diagnosis) I, too, was going through Canestan like billy-oh. It wasn't until I got my blood glucose levels down that it finally resolved. What I found helpful in the meantime was to avoid all scented soap, shower gels etc and switch to Aqueous Cream. It is an emolient that you can get over the counter at the chemist. Sold in tubes but far cheaper if you buy it in a tub (costs about £4 whereas the tiny amount in a tube is just too expensive for the amount you get). Aqueous can be used as a soap and as a cooling, barrier cream to aleviate itching and soreness. As for Metformin, I had none of the tummy issues at all and I am happy to take it as it has been found to be of benefit. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
