@xfirerose @america @boomerexpert @jkiemen I hope Rita and others you have found a way to treat the oral thrush in the mouth an throat. Yes it seems we really have to stay away from the drugs that interact with our MAC meds. Please let us know how you are going now.
I looked up some natural alternatives that might help, and checked them against the Big 3 to make sure they are okay:
1. swabbing inside the mouth with pure, virgin coconut oil (caprylic acid is the active ingredient)
2. yogurt swabs of the oral area/ (needs to be plain yoghurt)
3. use vinegar diluted in water (start with very dilute, using a lot more water) -- sip this from a cup and gargle or swish around in your mouth for a while, then spit out.
