Candida overgrowth

Having had lyme treatment for a year. I know I have Candidal overgrowth because I have recurrent yeast infections. The antibiotics completely wiped out my healthy gut flora and have the yeast the opportunity to thrive. I have been doing lots of research on this topic and want to be treated but I can't seem to find anyone who will listen to me. I believe it is the last step to feeling completely better. Has anyone else had yeast issues after their lyme treatment? Anybody know of any doctors that are up to date on this topic? PA/NY area would be good.

Thanks achievinggrace!

Kir12,

My LLMD is treating me for yeast overgrowth with a three-month anti yeast diet, in addition to a couple of weeks of diflucan and three months of nystatin. The diet includes vegetables (except for starches), meat (non-processed), fish, tomatoes, water and green tea. This means no dairy, no sugars, no fruit other than tomatoes, no coffee, no condiments or salad dressings, no pickled or fermented foods.

I hope this helps.
