Default Diflucan and probiotics

Anyone know if these can be taken together? Ds is 5 years old and he has been battling thrush for weeks. He has asthma and it is a side effect of his medication. I tried everything-gentian violet, grapefruit seed extract, yogurt, probiotics and it just kept coming back. So, today I started Diflucan. Does anyone know if I can still give him probiotics? It is like an antibiotic and I need to give them a certain number of hours apart?

I took Diflucan and probiotics at the same time (which is what my naturopath prescribed).

I think you'll want to alternate them during the day so you're not taking both at the same time

Default Re: Diflucan and probiotics

I was thinking maybe if I give him Diflucan at night and then probiotics in the morning and afternoon, that would be ideal. Problem is, I'm lucky if I remember to give him meds once a day!

I alternated the diflucan and the probiotics throughout the day. Maybe just set the timer?

I don't think the Diflucan will affect the probiotics. Diflucan goes after yeast...not bacteria, so it should be fine.

Diflucan is specifically an anti-fungal, not an antibiotic, so it may not at all affect the probiotic.

That is kind of what I was thinking, but the kefir we make smells yeasty and I assume it has "good" yeast in it. I am giving him probiotic powder too though, not just yogurt and kefir.
