Hi. The symptoms of continuing plugged ducts, etc, could be *from* yeast. I would recommend that for someone who you suspect has yeast, I would recommend that they go to their hcprovider with Kay Hoover's new 4 page sheet in hand, as well as the pages on candidiasis from Ruth Lawrence's book, Auerbach and Riordan's book, and the LC series on candidiasis. I have packets made up of these things, as well as a handout that I have written, cause we get SO many of these a month. I lend it to people to take to their disbelieving hcproviders. I also recommend that they get a copy of Tom Hale's book on Medications and Mothers' Milk ( no financial interest here, just a satisfied customer, and no telling HOW many of these I've sold for you, Tom. : D )...and this usually gets people to sit up and take notice. I also recommend that you look in the LLLI BFAB, the wonderful LLL text. You can also do a search for this topic on Lactnet archives. Also, Jack Newman's sheet on oral treatment with aqueous gentian violet is something I include. To do this, send email to [log in to unmask] that says Search candidiasis in Lactnet or Search yeast in Lactnet You should get tons of references...order a few at a time from the listserv, following the instructions. It may not be yeast, but it certainly is something, and should be evaluated fairly and knowledgeably. Kathleen Kathleen B. Bruce, BSN, IBCLC co-owner Lactnet,TLC, Indep.
