Now I remember another reason I hate anti-biotics

[gemfyre]

I have a case of thrush, or at least that's what I reckon it is.

It itches like hell and keeps me awake and uncomfortable.

*eats lots of yoghurt*

Evil anti-biotics, screwing up my gut flora!

At the moment I'm too sterile for my own good. The mouthwash I'm using has chlorohexidine in it (recommended for use only in 2 week blocks, which I adhere to), and the paraderm cream also has chlorohexidine, but it helps the itch a little until I can get something better for it.

I am SO letting my kids eat dirt.

Eating yoghurt does help replace intestinal flora, but yeah, I'm not sure how much it will do towards the itch.

I don't have any non-flavoured yoghurt around for a direct application. I just had a salt and vinegar bath. I feel like a potato chip.
