Brief Answer:
Hi again
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
This is one issue with the use of medicines (antibiotics) that there always remains some infection. Such remnant infection, if not bad, gets cleared up by immunity. Medicines are just for props.
Thrush and other side-effects that you are noticing usually subside after discontinuing the antibiotics.
Thrush is hard to treat. If you sincerely adhere to the lifestyle changes I advised earlier, thrush (Canidia) will reduce to the lowest levels. Aim should not be to eradicate Candida as it is part of normal flora. It became prominent because the harmless bacteria (that form the normal flora) got inhibited due to antibiotics. Thus the aim should be to restore the balance back.
Now coming to your question about food;
- you may avoid complex
proteins in diet like meat, beans, etc.
- Sugary treats should also be avoided, though natural sugars present in milk and fruit are okay.
- Raw vegetables may be avoided.
- Avoid canned juices, though taking fruits and fresh juice is ok.
- You may take ordinary diet that is easily digestible. Take three meals and 3 - 4 small snacks in a day. Nutritional home-cooked food is best during times of illness.
- You can include curd in your routine.
- Probiotics temporarily help reduce the thrush.
- If you are suffering from
nausea and
vomiting, then rehydrate with Gatorade or lime water. In fact take 1 glass of lime water first thing in the morning to flush out toxins. Drink adequate water. Hygienic food and pure drinking water are a must.
Don't be disheartened. You will recover soon.
