How often does this occur?  What are your favourite treatments?  I now 
have *2* people asking me for help with this.  One has a baby who was 
premature (she has other children who she nursed for 2-3 mos, stopping 
due to thrush) and the other has an older baby (8 mos) who nursed all 4 
of her previous kids for a few months but also stopped due to persistent 
thrush.

Both are on low-sugar, zero alcohol, low yeast, low white-flour diets, 
taking probiotics and prebiotics, treating with Grapefruit Seed Extract, 
one has done Gentian Violet (the mom of the older baby) but not the 
other.  Nipples are cracked and it feels like razor blades cutting into 
them to nurse.  Both are considering exclusively pumping.

Are there other things one can try other than the regular "drugs" such 
as diflucan and such?

Thanks in advance!
