Hi ladies

Do many of you get thrush. I used to get it years ago but I've noticed I've had it twice in the last 2 months. If so what do you find that works best?

    I had the same problem. Dr prescribed a tablet to get rid if it. But now I take a sona product Acidbifidious . It builds up good bacteria in the gut. I used to take it years ago also every time I was on antibiotics. Because I used to get thrush from it. But then anytime I went on antibiotics . I also took these so didn't get it any more
