Also, you need to cut out all sugar from your diet. Yeast thrives on it.
Good luck!

It is disgustingly bitter tasting, but it's what worked for us. I was so desperate when we finally tried it that I didn't care. We had already tried acidophilous, gentain violet 3 times, and Diflucan. Nothing knocked it out until I did the GSE. I'm sold on the stuff for yeast infections. We had battled thrush for the first 3-4 mo of dd's life when the GSE finally worked.
Then, about a year later I noticed the same familiar sharp bee sting pain in my breast and a day later a tiny white spot in dd's mouth. I immediately started with the GSE, and it cleared up right away and never came back.
Also, as far as the bad taste, it actually didn't bother my dd at all when she was tiny. However, when she got it a year or so later she would make a funny face after I swabbed her mouth, but she never fought me on it and actually seemed to like it. It's not that it tastes really, it just leaves a bitter taste after you swallow it. It should never be taken without diluting though.
