Hey there - probiotics are good - live ones really help - actually for me they used to get my motility going!!! (that helps a lot with constipation) i would buy the live refrigerated capsules with cranberry. Also wasn't the thrush also a sugar related thing? Haven't been blessed with that little bit of fun yet. Perhaps because my sugar intake is close to nil. I use agave nectar to sweeten my foods and my shake mix has either stevia or xylitol for sweetness - none of which affect blood sugar. My only sugars are from fruits and fruit juices. And I dont eat white flour foods! (yeast???) I also thought I was coming down with a bit of thrush at one point so I swished with the infamous honey for a day and after that my tongue was a nice pink again! Have a great weekend!
