Severe thrush....HELP PLEASE!!

[cindyb]

I had it big time with my first pregnancy and used the pessary thing and the cream and that worked really well for me! You have to insert the pessary with your finger though, not the applicator or you may do damage but other than that I say give it a try and be really strict on diet - NO SUGAR!!! Thats what the carbs etc all break down to. sugar sugar sugar

I find that the acidophilis is the best at getting rid of it - I used to get bio-organics megadophilis, but am now using Inner Health. I use it along with the creams. I hope you can get rid of it - thrush is awful

You can also try apple cider vinegar vulval washes.

If you have some privacy in your back yard, strip from the waist down and get some sun on your vulva and perineum.My DW suffered from terrible thrush in her teens and early twenties, and that was what eventually worked for her.

Good tip schmickers. I'd forgotten about the vinegar wash

Thanks everyone so much!!

I will try everything mentioned!!! I didn't get it at all with my other pregnancies but this LAST one seems to be bringing all things out! Saving the best for last maybe?? LOL!

Will let everyone know how things work out.

Again, thank you so much!!

Forgot to add: My GP said I can't have the pessary during pregnancy?

Jodi: Did your bub get it?

maybe you could get a swab test done to make sure it is thrush?

[jma]

I had a swab test done earlier in preg. which came back as thrush. Can it change to something else??
