Well, it's not true you'd be in hospital - my son's girlfriend has an awful case of candida at the moment and she isn't. Her candida affects the whole of her oesophagus, poor kid (she's 18) and everything she eats hurts on the way down. She's had to take fluconazole every day for weeks now. Her candida is due to another condition which is being treated now, but it's definitely something that can affect you in ways beyond the obvious thrush symptoms that most people think of.
Zoe Harcombe writes a lot about healing candida in her diet books - might be worth getting hold of one of them.
Gut health is of primary importance therefore you need to heal your gut. You will have an overload of bad bacteria, antibiotics making the condition worse in this regard. Try reading Dr Natasha Campbell's book Gut and Psychology for excellent information and what to do about it, this can be obtained from Amazon. I make Tibetan Mushroom Kefir (quite easy to do) as this is full of good bacteria to help healing, there are very good probiotics one can purchase which Dr Campbell recommends. You really need to research gut health to get you back on track. Sugar feeds on bad bacteria so this needs to be eliminated from your diet in any form. There is a lot you can do to help yourself as many here will testify. Good luck.
I had thrush for 3 years and my GP kept saying it was because I was diabetic and would not go on the diabetes medication and I needed to get my blood sugar under control. After being given Caneston Once all the time I decided to sort things out myself. I got my GP to prescribe me a low dose anti-thrush pill that I take everyday for a week, plus Gyno-daktarin pessary and I removed all yeast products from my diet and cut down/eliminated the carbohydrates (breads, pastas etc) and follow a low Glyceamic Load diet. My thrush cleared up within a couple of weeks and I am now very careful not to eat lots of high carbohydrate foods and rarely eat breads.
I hope this helps and lots of good luck with your journey towards a thrush free life.
I've had candida episodes of varying severity over the past 20 years (also caused by repeated courses of antibiotics!!) and I've found by far the best way to manage it and reduce symptoms is to minimise intake of sugar - by this I mean all added sugar, fruit/natural sugar, fruit, and processed carbohydrates (i.e white bread, anything containing white/overprocessed flours) and to increase intake of vegetables and unprocessed proteins.
You can never fully cure candida as yeast/bacteria are a vital part of your digestive system but you can manage the condition by not feeding the yeast/bacteria the thing that it needs to proliferate/multiply in the first place, and that's sugar!
I also take a probiotic tablet (20 billion dose) of good bacteria on a daily basis in order to help the good guys keep the bad guys at bay - it makes a huge difference!
