    I also suffered from recurrent trush and had all possible over the counter pills and pessaries. It always used to come back the next day.
    A week ago I found in Holland&Barrets the homeopatic tablets called CANDIDA (produced by Nelsons). And I could not believe the results. I felt that discarge stopped after 3 hours after I took the first pill. It is amazing, one week after I still don't have it. I don't know how long the effect will last, but as it is homeopatic remedie I think it is quite safe to have it in stock and take from time to time.
    It says that it stimulates natural resistance to flora imbalance.
    Try it !

    just a bit of information, Well i have this friend of a friend. Well his misses had thrush and was passing it back and forth etc. well once one was cleared up it wasnt cleared from the partner so this was just going on and on. using canasten and those pop up things for women but it just kept coming back. Well this friend of a friend who was male got a circumsission and well you will never guess it cleared up the itchy thingy as well. just thought id let you know you never know there might be some useful information in that somewhere.
    All the big powers they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right, and outing the liars.

    My sister had had what she thought was recurrent thrush, went to gp, who examined her and thought she had herpes and sent her to GU clinic, any how when she got there they diagnosed it as eczema, gave her hydrocortisone cream, and it clears up straight away every time she gets a flare up. So the moral of the story is don't assume its thrush, i know the op said she had been to the GP. but i am just saying :)
