Do any of my fellow IMs have any home remedies for the discomfort of thrush? I'm on a course of antibiotics and am also taking a probiotic but I swear I'm ready to use a cheese grater on my lady parts. I had some money that I was going to use to go to the chemist but then my son needed a tin of formula and payday isn't until the end of the week. I'm going insane!!! Please help.

Do you have nappy rash cream? If you do use that.
Try wearing loose fitting pants with no underwear.
Go buy some natural yogurt a tub is like 3 or 4 dollars hope in the shower and use the yogurt on your lady bits. I find this works better than creams.
Natural yoghurt works
Heamroid cream or paw paw works well.
When I get into that awful state I go and have a wash in the shower and sit down in front of a small fan heater with um legs spread lol for about 5 minutes. Use a towel to protect your legs and upper body and don't singe your lady bits! A combination of the heat and drying the moisture seems to completely kill the bacteria and you will feel much more comfortable afterwards. It then doesn't come back until I again eat a ton of sugar :(
