Thanks so much for all the information. Unfortunately, I'm even more confused than ever! I'm tired of drs. - and even alternative medicine practitioners - each one has a different opinion. I'm tired of all the pharmaceuticals and just am not taking them anymore - been the whole route, Diflucan/Nystatin/Mycelex ... I "might" stay on a probiotic. Even though I've been told for years, since first dx with CFIDS, that it was "Candida" - it's just too strange because it comes and goes, and, not necessarily related to diet. Even stress can cause me to wake up the next morning with "thrush". So, I think the "real demon" is "Stress"! Over the years, I've learned to be a very informed "patient" and a self-advocate. Having worked in the medical, mental health and now education/guidance fields has helped, because I read and research. Then, with the deluge of alternative/complimenary medicine protocols - my brain is screaming "overload". I think I'll be the proverbial ostrich and "stick my head in the sand" for a while! But, you guys have helped tremendously. If I had to choose one opinion for myself to live by - it would be the one from Berkley! Thanks again for enlightening me to the "other side of the story"...
