look forward to hearing how it goes! i posted a longer response under infant, but in case others are dealing with this past the infant stage, here were my thoughts / expereince with it:
here's a concoction that has worked -- gentian violet on the nipples / around the affected area, acidophilus (flavored liquid kind from health food store or capsules), and grapefruit seed extract tablets (i have found Nutribotic to be the best, link below) which can also be used to threat the nipples by placing a few drops into approx 2-3 oz of water (basically very diluted ) although do not use it on your nipples for longer than 2 days, as it's very strong / will dry out your nipples (so perhaps rotate with a vinegar wash). Basically, Thrush is incredibly aggressive and difficult to ever fully get rid of, but it sounds like we're all finding ways to manage it better, which makes breastfeeding easier / more pleasurable. Overall, as messy as Gentian Violet is, i do think it works wonders at attacking the yeast growth. Interested to hear about any other concoctions that have worked for others ...
