HI all -- I posted about 2 weeks ago about upper (stomach) and intestinal burning/problems. Did 5 days of diflucan and am much improved. I don't eat much sugar or white foods and I take VSL3. Any other ideas on how to keep those evil yeasties away? (I know no more red wine, that's very hard living in California- but what else?)

What??? No red wine?!?! There has to be a better way. Now that I am well past menopause, I can finally enjoy wine and spirits. Even with Flagyl, I am okie dokie with it.

A while back, there were some folks here who pretty much swore by Candigone (a multi-ingredient supplement).

Another strategy might be to take a yeast probiotic, such as S. boulardii to compete against the C. albicans, and maintain balance. VSL#3 does not contain S. boulardii. Plus, it is pretty cheap, about $15 at Amazon (Jarrows brand).
