I am wondering if practitioners, esp docs, routinely advise mothers of the
sypmtoms for yeast they are likely to encounter as a result of the now
apparently accepted routine use of antibiotics for "treatment" of GroupB
strep? I see so many more mothers now with yeast than ever before (I realize
there are other reasons for this as well) and am certain there is a
correlation to this common use of antibiotics.
