Thrush


Bleeding, cracking, tear-inducing thrush.

I am frustrated.

Ugh.

  1. Oh no!  I will be praying for you for sure.   
    Out of curiosity... are you making your own bread or eating any home-made bread?  The only time I have had thrush (so far) was with Ashlyn when I first started making my own bread.  I figured out that the yeast in the bread was more than needed and the excess was leading to the thrush.  I simply reduced the amount of yeast and havent had trouble since (praying that will stay true!).

  2. Oh, Bri! I hadn't heard - when did this start? Bummer. Absolute bummer.I'll be praying and hoping it comes to a screeching halt - IMMEDIATELY!!

  3. Oh my gosh! I feel your pain. When Tristan and I had it, I bought some kids acidophilus powder and would swipe it on his tongue/ inner cheeks after each nursing. And I would also spray a vinegar-water solution on myself (let it air dry) after every nursing. I know, this is such a PAIN in the YOU-KNOW-WHAT!!!! Oh, man. Also, lanolin helps with the cracking. I read that you shouldn't use it because it keeps you from drying out, but when I  finally did use it, the payoff of faster healing and less pain/ cracking was worth it for me. I'll be praying and hoping this ends quickly (and w/o antibiotics!) for you!!

  5. There's a candida diet... maybe that would help clear up the infection. http://www.thecandidadiet.com/foodstoavoid.htm
    I'll keep you all in my prayers.

  7. Ooo, yuck.  Never had it myself, so I can't say I feel your pain, but I've heard enough about it (mostly from you!) so I know it's a nightmare.  Ouch.  Praying for you and hoping it clears up Right Quick.

    Love you. Praying for you. Does it help for me to say "It could be worse"?
    No? OK. I won't go there!
    P.S. You could have twins with thrush! Sorry- I couldn't resist!

  13. Not only is the pain horrible, but I'm sure with a not-so-good nurser this isn't making things any easier. I'll be praying for you and Aubrey.
