Candida Cleanse While Breastfeeding?
After taking antibiotics I've suffered from basically every form of thrush/yeast.
*BACK STORY About 5 months ago I reluctantly agreed to antibiotics to treat a bad case of mastitis that would not go away with any holistic remedy. I did follow a recommended probiotic protocol during the antibiotic use (not within 6 hours.)
*CANDIDA It started with NIPPLE THRUSH (I'm breastfeeding) which took me over a month to clear. I tried grapefruit seed extract (work a few years ago with my other son), earthley's "no yeast" ointment, acv... finally gentian violet worked after about 2 weeks. Next was the YEAST INFECTION and beginning of STOMACH ISSUES (nausea, gurgling, etc.) Again, I tried multiple natural remedies until I finally picked up a monostat 7. Now I have the ITCHIEST BUTT ever! Sorry to be graphic, but it is soooo uncomfortable. I'm also dealing with a lot of FATIGUE and the same STOMACH ISSUES.
*DIET I eat mostly animal based. Meat, dairy & eggs (in moderation), fruit (trying to avoid the super sweet ones now), low oxalate veggies. The only grains/starches I consume are potatoes, rice, sourdough & sprouted grain bread. I will occasionally have cauliflower crust pizza (no seed oils) and I have use a little maple syrup, honey or stevia based bone broth protein powder to sweeten my coffee in the morning and yogurt (dairy or coconut) at night.
ADVICE PLEASE!!!!??????!!!!
