They also want to do a surgery to remove part of the bowel in a few weeks.I am terrified! Meanwhile, What happens for the few weeks after surgery? I really am trying to get out of this,but they say it is necessary.

    Hi Michelle,  that is the problem with antibiotics. 

    Go look online for something called Water kefir or Milk kefir..there are videos and recipes showing you how to make this.  I always have a jug of water kefir in my kitchen because it is packed with probiotics...far more than you will get in a bottle. This is what you need to be taking to combat thrush outbreaks.   Meanwhile go get some Diflucan, if it is severe you may need to take more than one capsule two or three days apart...look in your mouth because often thrush presents itself in your mouth, and if so you may have to buy something for that as well.

    Take one thing at a time as it sounds like you have a lot on your plate.

    Not easy.  Can totally understand that you're terrified.

    Have you tried sitting in a baking soda or borax bath?  

    Can you drink lots of lemon water?  Avoid gluten?  Avoid added sugar?  Leave out alcohol and caffeine? It gives the body a break. 

    I don't understand why you are having to take heavy antibiotics.  But then again, I'm not a doctor.  What is it supposed to do for the diverticulitis?

    Husband had surgery for that last year.    Had no choice.   Could have burst.

    Where are you from. Always get second opinion. Ask lot of questions. Please trust your gut feeling. Will be praying.

    I gave the same problem!  I started taking probiotics and cutting down on sugar and carbs. Candidiasis is a widespread problem in women because it can go systemwide and cause problems! 

    I also use the monistat preparation was hat you find at the store.
