Re: Diflucan; persistent yeast

Just a thought too if the baby is reinfecting her. Culture the baby's nose too. A loooong time ago I had something like this happening with one of my LLL moms and it turned out to be in the baby's nose.

Hi Elaine

This is for ductal yeast, and my sources are Hale and the Journal of Midwifery and Women's Health. No, I have not had any opposition for this. I have requested this by sending the mom with the literature, or speaking with the provider directly. If it is thrush or nipple only, then topicals are the first line (clotrimazole, coconut oil). Yeast strains have bred resistant to nystatin, unfortunately, about half the time, and the sugar that's in it just feeds the yeast.

I wonder if babe is reinfecting her? Is it mom or babe or both with symptoms?

Sorry they're giving you a hard time!

A few years ago a client had persistent,, painful nipple yeast and had been treated over and over again with high doses of Diflucan, etc.. Diet was wonderful. One day I asked her if she was positive that no one in her family had a rash - anywhere. She replied, "No - just the rash the baby always has under his chin". Turns out the baby had double chins and the rash was not visible unless you held the flesh apart. Once that was treated mom recovered completely.
