Yeast Die Off while Pregnant?

[ivkins]

I posted this in the pregnancy forum but got nothin. Maybe you all can help me.....I have been battling yeast throughout my entire body since I gave birth to my first child in 2004. It had been really bad since my miscarriage in August. I thought I had gotten rid of it in December after a whole month of taking Diflucan. I am currently pregnant ,4 months, and have been fine until these past few days. I can feel it in my breasts, down below and in my teeth and ears. It is just the beginning. I had been brewing my own Kefir and drinking it everyday but the morning sickness won that one over so I haven't been drinking it for 4 months now. So today I finally was able to drink about a cup and now my head feels like it is going to EXPLODE.....this is how I felt before when on the Diflucan and taking the kefir and my doc explianed it as the yeast dying off. But since I am preg. Is this safe? Does anybody have any info on this? I don';t want to hurt the baby in any way. What do I do?

Maybe start with less kefir and slowly build up to 1 cup daily. Have you tried a low starch/sugar diet also?

That is what I was thinking. Maybe I should do 1/4 cup tomorrow and Friday and then up it......I am working on the no sugar/starch thing. It's not as easy as I wished it were.....
