This is also a follow up as well as a new question. I'm the
breastfeeding mother of a 3 YO who had sore nipples mostly during
Ovulation as well as symptoms elsewhere. Been treating for yeast for
at least 6 mo.
Was treated with oral Diflucan (200 mg/10 days) and other skin ointments
just before we left the country for a month. Symptoms disappeared but
within 7 days came back, but sore nipples are continuous now instead of
cyclical. Also treated my BF son at the same time Diflucan oral.
Up our return, I had a positive yeast culture of both my BMilk and a
skin swab, I went back on Diflucan, (400 Mg loading dose, 200 mg/day
for 30 days - may be longer.) Dermotologist prescribed for me, my Ped
prescribed for my 2 sons who also are symptomatic (and responding
nicely). Went to our GP for a prescription for my DH because of the
possibility of his being a non- symptomatic carrier, but she is very
hesitant to treat a DH because of the wife's difficulty of getting Yeast
under control. She ordered a blood test - IgE Allergin specific to
Yeast. Came back Negative.
My question for you is: is an IgE test appropriate for detecting a non
symptomatic carrier? Should I still persue treating my DH? The
Dermotoligist will prescribe for him if he becomes a patient of hers.
Was that test enough to say he's NOT reinfecting me?
