    I always used to get thrush after a course of antibiotics. But a few years ago I started taking Multibionta 50+.....they have a selection to suit most needs....... and since then, thrush has never raised it's ugly,itchy head again!

    They are multivitamin/mineral tablets with an added pro-biotic.

    HTH and good luck!

    Thank you again for your replies, Am going to buy some multibionta supplements.

    When ever I bath, I use an antbacterial soap on my HS, I only ever use water down there, BUT I suppose with the water being soapy and all that. I do swill off with the tap shower.

    I am planning on low carbing as much as I can, and cutting out alcohol as well as running on my treadmil I get for xmas, but my plan is to do it after xmas... 100%.

    Fingers crossed.. :)

    The best thing to do is avoid all soap in the vaginal area, including baths.if you wnat to wash with something try aqeous cream. Also avoid putting anything inside the vagina this includes yogurt.
    Theres no evidence that changing your diet will affect the recurrence of thrush but the probiotic may be worth a go.
