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!

Then they have improved the anti-fungal meds if taste better than the bottom of a fish tank.

Cranberry pills might be in order, stronger than juices...Walgreens & Krogers & Rite Aide usually have them and you can get them 2 for the price of 1. I'd still take a probiotic along with the anti-fungal...if it kills fungus which yeast is, it will kill the good bacteria in the gut too. Probiotics are good for the gut regardless if you are not even on anti-fungals or antibiotics.
