Yeast Infections Cured

Me and my 3 week old daughter have been diagnosed with thrush. For treatment we’ve been prescribed Nystatin. I’m not currently breastfeeding I’m pumping and bottle feeding. I’m putting her liquid oralNystatin on my nipples but I’m going to start using grapefruit seed extract. My question is how to give her the Nytatin. I’m supposed to put 1 ml on the inside of each cheek 4 times a day so every 6 hours, however thats hard with a 3 week old. A lot of doses are more than 6 hours apart due to her feeding and a lot of times I’ll give it to her and then she eats. Isn’t it pointless to give it to her and she eats soon after? Also should I be squirting it inside of her cheeks or swabbing it around her mouth? How long should I start seeing results in her mouth? We’ve been treated for 48 hours, I can tell a difference in my nipples but not in her mouth.

My son had thrush 4 times. It can be difficult to get rid of.
Along with giving her the 1 ml on each side of her cheek, you can also take a cotton swab of the nystatin and swab the inside of her mouth, in cheeks, roof of mouth, tongue. This will help rid it faster.

Do not use pacifiers when baby has thrush because the thrush will live in the pacifier (even if boiled).

Boil all bottle nipples and toys that baby puts in mouth. If toy cannot be boiled wash it with vinegar.

You will notice a change in mouth in about a week and a half.

Or you could go buy Gentian Violet, available at wall-mart pharmacy (may have to order and will be there next day) for about $2. I finally did this after thrush came back the 4th time. There is alot of controversy over Gentian Violet because it may cause cancer if used in high doses for extended periods (basically if you drink 5 bottles of it everyday for 2 years) but you apply it once!!!

Take cotton swab of gentian violet and PAINT the entire inside of baby’s mouth, everything should be purple, cheeks, lips, gums, tongue, roof of mouth. This will stain everything. Next, paint your nipples.

It will wear off naturally (don’t scrub off nipples just let it wear off) it will wear off as your baby drinks over the next day. When the purple is gone so is the thrush. One application, one day, all gone.

There was this group on Facebook called, "Don’t search Blue Waffle." And I searched it…it was the grossest thing I have ever seen in my life. Blue Waffle is a slang for a vaginal infection!
After seeing that, it made me scared that I might get something like that!
How can I keep myself safe from those scary infections?

It’s all about knowing your body. First off, the major reason for vaginal infections is due to an imbalance of good bacteria vs. bad bacteria. You have to work at keeping the balance. A good way to do this is to take Probiotics, which contain the good bacteria. Keep an eye out for eating too much sugar, as this will cause the yeast in your body to grow and multiply out of control. Never wash with soap, or if you do use a gentle, hypoallergenic soap for the area. I would also incorporate yogurt into your diet. If you ever notice itching or burning in the vaginal area, you can insert plain, sugar free yogurt into your vagina for a couple of days to rebalance it. There’s an awesome website called VaginaPagina.com that focuses on taking care of the vagina and keeping it healthy. Hope this helps!

hello,

i am almost 19 years old and i am thinking of doing a colon, liver and candida yeast cleanse. does anyone know if there is a minimal/suitable age you should be to do all of these cleanses? is it a good idea to do even if i don’t show the symptoms of someone who needs the cleanse and i adhere to a diet rich in fibre?

why?

I answer this question nearly every day. There is no reason at all to "cleanse" you colon or liver. They take care of themselves very efficiently if you eat a healthy balanced diet.

While there is a yeast infection caused by Candida (thrush, vaginal yeast, or some skin folds) there is no such thing as the systemic yeast infection that naturopaths and others claim is one of the causes of most illness. It was a fake disease invented in the 1980’s, ironically at a time when many new real diseases were being discovered (Herpes, HIV)

Keep eating healthy, exercise. You’ll be fine.

Yeast infections seem to arise from candida whereas most edible mushrooms are Agaricus. Do they play a role in yeast overgrowth? Is that role beneficial or harmful?

I’ve read in several places that mushrooms should be avoided when trying to get rid of intestinal candidiasis. Of course the sugars are worse, and tougher to avoid!

I went to the doctor today thinking I had strep throat. I was diagnosed as having Thrush. How would I have gotten this. I am 27 and in good health. I have NO chronic conditions, diabetes, or HIV. And no, I have not performed any sex acts that could cause this. Any thoughts…. I’m dumbfounded.

It can be caused by taking antibiotics. I got oral thrush after taking penicillin for tonsillitis.

I have had a yeast infection before that cleared up with OTC meds. I was on antibiotics for a UTI about a week ago, and the Dr. said it may cause a yeast infection. Now I’m experiencing itching and burning, but no odor and a thick, yellowish discharge. I think it might be a yeast infection, but when I had one before I had the typical cottage cheese-like discharge, and this is different. Also, can you treat a yeast infection while having your period?

If it’s a yeast infection it may clear up just after your period. Since your body is having a period, I wouldn’t recommend inserting medication until after your period is over.

Different types of infections:

Signs of yeast infections:
White, cottage cheese-like discharge
Swelling and pain around the vulva
Intense itching

Signs of bacterial vaginosis:
A white, gray or yellowish vaginal discharge
A fishy odor that is strongest after sex or after washing with soap
Itching or burning
Slight redness and swelling of the vagina or vulva

i think i have a yeast infection because i have been itching and my discharge has an odor that almost smells like beer.. i am not totally sure but I was just wondering if it was bad to use an over the counter cream or medication if you werent totally sure it is a yeast infection. I have been taking an antibiotic for my acne for a while now and i think that may be what has caused it also i have been outside alot in the heat so that could also be a factor.

My gyno says they work great and reccommends them (and they do, I have used many times) but you have to know its def a yeast infection. There are a couple other infections that are not yeast and you have to get a prescription from your doc so it’s best to make an appt or at least just call to be 100% sure.

I need to cure my yeast infection fast…which works better, Gyne-Lootrimin, Vagistat, or Monistat?

Dumb ass D R….you are supposed to eat the yogurt, not douche with it. Yogurt can help your body keep from getting too many yeast infections. And Monistat has always worked well for me..

what were signs you had when you thought you had a vaginal infection?
i’ve been having thick clumpy sticky discharge and burning since sunday no itching though just uncomfortable burning when wiping or washing what could this be?

Yeast infection sweetie. Go and get an over the counter med for yeast infection, you can get rid of it within a day or 2.

Q. How does coconut oil work against yeast infections?
A. Coconut oil has several unique properties that make it an excellent treatment for yeast infections.

Among the most potent natural yeast-fighting substances are lauric acid and caprylic acid, both derived from coconut oil.

All medium chain fatty acids found in coconut oil kill yeast, viruses and bacteria.

Some of these substances are stronger against one type of organism and some work better against others, so when all these elements combine forces in this unique type of oil, they become a daunting weapon against dysbiosis.

When I began researching coconut oil, I noticed that many patients mentioned they were getting relief from a wide variety of symptoms, including fatigue, joint pain, irritability and recurrent bladder infections.

Of course, you’re aware that people suffering from candida infections often complain of precisely these symptoms.

Yes. Gives me a headache, due to Herx die-off reaction. I reccommend you take 3 tablespoons per day, after meals.
