Gentian Violet . . . ?
I have tried Nystatin, Diflucan, Nystatin again, acidopholus powder and
grapefruit seed extract, and the child STILL has thrush. I am down to the purple stuff - not happy about it, but I have to give it a shot. Anyone try this? Any experience you can tell me about? Thanks! |

There are lots of resources he http://www.kellymom.com/bf/concerns/...resources.html Jack Newman's page on gentian violet is linked there. I used GV with my first daughter twice. It was really messy, she looked silly, but it cleared it up almost immediately. For DD2, we did fine with Nystatin for her and Monistat cream on my nipples. Oh, and disposable breast pads - for some reason I always got thrush when I used the cloth ones. If you google this newsgroup and thrush, you'll get lots more advice. Good luck! Mary W. |

I haven't had any experience with it personally but my friend did and said that it worked, but it can be messy and stains. Basically wait to wear your cashmere until you are done with it.

Thanks for the link! I forgot about Googling the archives of this ng - I have been on another ng recently that has a totally different way to search it . . . Wish me luck - I am getting the GV tomorrow, if my pharmacy actually gets it in when they said they would! |

My DS doesn't have it, but my nipples still do - I've tried Nystatin, Daktarin, Canesten... Once the tubes are empty, I'm going down the GV route, too... I'll be interested to see what you think!!

GV didn't do much for us, what worked best in our case was for me to take the GSE and just leave the baby alone. Mine cleared up very nicely with the GSE and I think cut the cycle of us passing it back and forth to each other, while the baby's ran its course (it wasn't so bad that he had a sore mouth or anything that bad). I think the info I read about it "running its course" was through kellymom, maybe in the Jack Newman info? As far as cleaning up the GV, if you're careful and methodical about application, you won't necessarily get it everywhere, but for cleaning skin and hard surfaces "natural" type products such as babywipes seem to work very well. I've read that in other people's suggestions, and experienced that myself. Even commercial wipes that are purported to conatain natural ingredients seem to work better than more chemically based products. I use Tushies wipes, and they worked quite well, especially for the baby's face. What was left after the wipes actually wore off inside of a day. -Karen, mom to Henry 5 and William 18 months- |

Jo I'll let you know! I should be starting today if the pharmacy gets it in when they said they would. Just in time for dd to have a bright purple mouth for ds's 3rd b-day party this Sat . . . . oh, well. It will make for interesting photos! |

I haven't tried my taking GSE - I only have the drops to put in solution and swab on dd's tongue. I may take the drops in water myself, as well as the GV to see if I can double-whammy it, though. I am SO tired of this - it's been here for about 6 or 7 weeks, and dd is only .. . . 11 or so weeks old! |
