I have used diflucan before twice. When I was breastfeeding both my kids I got a thrush infection in my breast. (interestingly Ive never had a vaginal yeast infection in my life) It was horrible with my first, and NEVER went totally away. It was sooo painfull. I did a round of 2 weeks of diflucan and that took care of the worst of it, but it lingered several months even until after I stopped breastfeeding. I tried grapefruit seed oil, gentian violet, acidophilus and a lot of other things. Toward the end when it was almost gone I used homeopathic borax and that seemed to finish it off. I was pretty bad about my diet at the time. The candida really made me crave sugar badly. I had morning sickness my ENITRE pregnancy with my first, pretty much the only thing I could tolerate eating was carbs/sweets so that is probably how the overgrowth got so bad.
Things were a little better with the second, the infection came on pretty strong, I did the diflucan 2 weeks, and nestatin cream and that helped but didnt clear it up, and then I saw on a local shops sign a product called Three-lac for candida. I got it and I felt like it worked AWESOME. I want to say maybe it was a months supply. I did change my diet to eat a little less sugar, but probably not like I should have. I would definately reccomend the Threelac, but diet is key for sure since sugar just feeds the candida,
