>Hi Lactnetters,

>horrible nausea,

I worked with a mom who had severe nausea with her yeast.  Yeast is in the
entire g/i track in addition to the vagina--and breast and nipples...

I would recommend that she eliminate ALL dairy immediatly.  I'm surprised
that she hasn't, because anytime I have experienced even slight nausea the
thought of milk would be "unfortunate."  Maybe she feels she needs dairy to
make milk.

I would also recommend her taking acidophilus along with whatever antifungal
she uses.  The re-balancing of yeast/bacteria will be hastened with the
introduction of adidophilus into her gut. Often when one begins to take an
antifungal she will feel worse after a day or two because of the dying off
of the excessive yeast.  Maybe if she eliminates the dairy (which she should
do for yeast treatment anyway) and begins acidoplilus she can have some days
of feeling better before the antifungal action kicks in.

Let us know how this goes.
