Re: for the women of the group

Cheryl, I don't think there is a quick fix for a long term yeast infection.

I did take presciption oral diflucan years ago along with a " cleansing "

diet. This was prediagnosis of psc. The diet had me give up yeast products,

sugar, and soda probably some other things too. I don't have yeast

infections now though. I do have plenty of other problems that deal with

immune problems. Do you take a lot of anitbiotics? BTW, I've known of men

who get chronic yeast infections too. I don't know if we can take diflucan

with liver disease. Sorry I wasn't more help.

Cherykl, I've been on maintenance antibiotics for years now, so I get

infections now and then. Diflucan is what my doctor prescribed. It

helps immediately, and I don't even have to do the full course if I

catch the infection in time. It is expensive and not all insurances

will cover it, but it works for me! Deb in VA

>My partner Deb has persistent problems with yeast infections and has

really struggled with 24/7 antibiotic use. She didn't tolerate the

diflucan well, I can't remember why now. ANyway, she takes 2

capsules of acidophilus three times a day, plus yeast medication as

needed. It seems to keep things at a tolerable level for her.

She also takes her antibiotics now at one week on and one week off,

which helps.
