Hi All, Any input regarding this mom's path for thrush treatment would be appreciated. I have permission to post this email from the LLL mom who contacted me: "So, I wondered if you would give me your opinion about my treatment? This is what we will do: Nystatin oral suspension liquid for Gracie's mouth after every feeding Clotrimazole cream for nipples after every feeding...increased air time as well as frequent change of disposable pads Diflucan...my OB prescribed 2 doses of 150mg (one today, one Fri.) Garlic and echinacea Supplements for me 3 times a day Acidopholis for both of us 3 times a day Cut out dairy and simple carbs/sugar out of diet Would I be better off using genetian violet instead of the cream my OB prescribed? I would normally not be so crazy about treatments but the pain has been going on so long and Gracie seems to really be effected now as well. She is very gassy and cranky, has white patches, comes off the breast frequently, and cries while feeding. She is also not sleeping well. What do you think?"
