<Sorry, but there is no such thing as a "mycoplasma parasite" > Yes, you are right, things got jumbled together when the Mom (actually someone I have known for the last five years personally) related what the Dr. had diagnosed. I was baffled and that is why I posted. She does have a mycoplasma bacteria AND yeast (cultured from her stool) AND (she swears) an entameba coli. as intestinal parasite. I thought the spelling might be wrong when I first posted. We have pretty much taken care of her fears of the medications (diflucan for yeast, tetracycline for mycoplasma) , but her question/fear remains that the mycoplasma bacteria can infect her baby. She doesn't want her baby to suffer the health problems she has had. I hope that makes my question more clear. Sorry if I confused it before.

This mom has been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia among other things) after a long search (five years) for relief but I didn't post the whole terribly long history as it isn't specifically breastfeeding related. ) *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
