What kind of acidophilus should I take for thrush?

I'm breastfeeding, and think I might have thrush. I don't have all the symptoms, but my nipples really hurt when I nurse. I don't have shooting pain in my breasts, and the pain doesn't last once I stop nursing. But when I nurse it feels like baby has razors in her mouth. I feel great relief when I stop.

I don't think it's improper latch. She's 9months , so I think by now she knows how to latch properly.

I thought of using gentian violet and acidophilus. Is it okay to take lactobacilus acidophilus if you can't drink milk? If not what else can I take?

And also, can I use gentian violet? Will it stain my baby's teeth?

If you are lactose intolerant, lactobacillus acidophillus is very good for you, as it helps to break down lactose (milk sugars) by producing the enzyme lactase, which lactose intolerant individuals do not produce.



Have a look at this link for lactobacillus acidophillus.

Reply:I used gentian violet and had great sucess. The symptoms were relieved in three days, but the staining (both of babys mouth and my breasts) took a week or so to fade. My son is now 10 and no purple teeth in sight:) I highly recommend this treatment. Love to you
