I've been diagnosed with glabrata and I'm going to try amphoticericn b since boric acid hasn't worked neither has nystatin tri cream has anyone tried this?
oh my god! I was just diagnosed with Glabrata today... after a horrible painful week.. never had a yeast infection ever in my life.. I have been Trying to conceive for a year, now I feel like I am never going to with this diagnosis... :(
I too have been diagnosed with Glabrata for a 2nd time and am currently going through fertility treatments. I recently finished 2 weeks of componded flucytosine cream and will be retested next week.
Hi. May i ask where did you get the flucytosine cream prescribe? And what was the result? I too have glabrata and it seems impossible to find the right medicine in my country :(
Hi jacqles. I have just found out i have vaginal glabrata also so know exactly how you felt as far as anxiety over it. Would love to chat more with you
Hi how did you go with treatment?
Hi people. One of the most effective ways to treat Galbrata is with boric acid - I don't know if that's what I had but this method solved things. Google amazon noodle and boric acid you'll find long feed on amazon boric acid product and what to do. Essentially use ban Marie to melt organic raw cocoa butter, mix in boric acid (not as scary as it sounds - kind of like salt - as acidic as salt but same ph as vagina) store in capsules and insert - I'm not a doctor you can ignore this but it really helped
The doctors are clueless most of the time. Glabrata is not affected by all the standard anti-fungals. My specialist I went to put me into hospital for Glabrata and treated me with Cancidas intravenous. This got rid of it. But if I take antibiotics it comes back; and its always Glabrata. I had it in my vagina and in my bladder. The other stuff won't work with Glabrata. I have just had a course of antibiotics and its back again. I've asked my doctor what else I can do besides go into hospital each time for IV's. He has suggested boric acid suppository to try. I'll give it a bash, but at least I know that I can go into hospital if it gets worse. So there is a cure but it will need you to go into hospital.
Did the boric acid work for you? I'm having some made up for me by the pharmacy. Will give it a bash as soon as I get it.
My doctor wanted to prescribe this in a vaginal mixture. But we don't get it in South Africa. Well not in the form they need to make up a cream. They only seem to the have intravenous here.
Did the compounded cream work?
Oh dear, they have just prescribed that to me. What happened?
I'm also dealing with candida glabrata infection. Can anyone please tell me what eventually worked for them? I've done diflucan, 7-day terazol cream, a round of boric acid followed by 2 applications of gynazole-1 cream (butoconazole 2%)... the boric acid followed by gynazole-1 helped some but then symptoms came back a week later when I got my period. It's making me feel very discouraged and depressed. Please let me know what got rid of it for all of you, many thanks!
Did the boric acid capsules work for you both?? What finally cured it??
I'm also wondering if the flucytosine cream worked as that may be my next step...?
