Hi Lorene, me again!\u00a0 I’m not 100% positive until I see a doctor, but I do believe I have developed oral thrush in my mouth.\u00a0 I understand that one of the causes of oral thrush is from the use of antibiotics.\u00a0 I mentioned to you before that I was having sinus infection issues and am currently on round 2 of antibiotics – the first prescription didn’t completely get rid of the infection.\u00a0 I believe that acidophilus and probiotic yogurt is helpful in getting rid of this nasty thing.\u00a0 Do you have any advice for me?\u00a0 I will avoid going to the doctor unless absolutely necessary.\u00a0 As always I appreciate your help.<\/div>\n
Thanks Lorene.<\/div>\n

Yes, oral thrush is usually caused by antibiotics, and if this is your 2nd round, this is even more likely. It also sounds as if the anti-biotics are not working on the sinus infection, so I would suggest you getting on SN-X<\/a>, a herbal formula excellent for\u00a0 healing your sinus infection. Once cleared, which may take 2- 3 times\/day, I would continue to cleanse and support\u00a0 your sinus by taking another 2- 3 bottles, so it does NOT re-occur. Please refer to Sinus information<\/a> on our website, for some other tips on sinus health, including salt water nasal flush.<\/p>\n

Now for your thrush<\/strong>. Yes probiotics (pro-life) are essential to rebuild the friendly bacteria killed by the anti-biotics (against life). You would need to eat about a gallon of good yogurt to get the same amount as from one capsule of Bifidophilus Flora Force <\/a>or Probiotic 11<\/a>, which contains 11 different probiotic strains, so I would suggest either of these. We may have some in stock, if you need it, please phone the office, 250-748-6802.<\/p>\n

I would take one whole bottle – 2-3 per day, on empty stomach, to also help re-establish healthy colonic bacteria, which is a major part of your overall immune system. You also want to discourage Candida<\/a> overgrowth elsewhere in your body. Please read that article.<\/p>\n

A few other things you can do in addition to get probiotics are listed here, as you may have some of these in your Herbal First Aid Kit:<\/p>\n

Gargle 3-6 times per day, using any of the following, or alternate at different times of the day to suit your schedule:<\/div>\n
