Resistant Oral Yeast Infection - Please Help!

[concerned0ne]

I am DESPERATE for a resolution to this. I'm supposed to cycle back to the states to get married in two months, please help me get rid of this before then!!! I have tried everything I can possibly think of and it just won't go away!!!



About 6 months ago, I went to a doctor regarding 2 irritating, small, thin white patches on the sides of my tongue (where my teeth touch my tongue) near the back of my mouth.

At this time, I asked the doctor to test me for all STDs & Diabetes - all tests came back negative. I also had a CBC done, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

I told the doc that I thought it was an early thrush infection. He disregarded it.

About 2 months later, another doc put me on antibiotics for several weeks. It was at this time that my small case of thrush became a full blown monster.

Since then, I have been on ketoconazole 3x, I am currently finishing my 3rd cycle that has lasted nearly 1 month. I have gone through 2x 10day nystatin suspension every 4-6 hours (while on ketoconazole). I started taking acidophillus pills, garlic pills, apple cider vinegar pills, rinsing with organic apple cider vinegar. I take a probiotic mint twice each day after brushing my teeth. I take a vitamin D supliment every 3 days. I am currently on day 2 of applying Gentian Violet twice daily (though I think that I will increase it to 3-4x daily). For the last 2 months, I have eaten nothing but grilled chicken, beef, or turkey and cucumbers and/or broccoli with water.

Everything I try just seems to suppress it (if that), but not make it disappear... please note that it has never gone away completely, it always comes back.

I rub the white coating away, and it just comes back an hour later...

...an after thought....if u ever need an antibiotic again...bcuz of this reaction u had...ask for diflucan and tell the dr y!!!

Do this every time...it is in my chart bcuz I had the same problem.

I think u should be ok with that amount...usually u get 1 pill.......so sounds like ur dr agreed that it could benefit u.

I pray this works for u and that the wedding goes off beautifully : )

It's official that the Gentian Violet is not helping the infection anymore. For the first day or two, it kept it from spreading, but now the yeast is growing regardless of this purple mess :(

I just talked to my doctor and I now have a 10 day course of Diflucan in the mail to try to get rid of this.

Do you think 10 days would be enough for such a resistant infection?

I pray that it gets rid of this infection, I don't want it to ruin the wedding.

Hi....I am prone to getting yeast infections and I get them from taking oral antibiotics....every time I need to take time I ask for Diflucan to kill the yeast....talk to ur dr regarding this med to help u.

U may want to talk to a pharmacist to be sure nothing u r taking could be adding to ur thrush.

U may also want to try a mouth wash rise every night to help with this.

Good luck
