Doctors faill to tell people when they take antibiotics need to be taken with Probiotics in order to prevent mouth and vaginal yeast infections as antibiotics kill the good with the bad.
Had to take Nistatin powder anti-fungal med for several weeks, tasted like the bottom of a fish tank smelled.
Thanks Gail! I looked up her medications online since we got the meds the other day from the hospital and they didn’t have info. on the bottles or anything... I saw it can be harsh on the kidneys so we’re keeping her extra well hydrated, and I got her some Cranberry Juices, too. That, and plenty of fiber for taking the pain meds! LOL They told us to make sure she drinks Orange Juice, and 1-2 bananas per day to make up for the potassium the medicine leaches out of the body.
She’s lucky - the nurse warned her the liquid would be pretty nasty, but Amanda said it just tasted like some funky cherry-like flavor. She still has to chase it with something that is strong in flavor though.
Thanks for your prayers, and advice! I really appreciate it!
