― Mike Hanle y, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

fire, the biblical cleanser.

(you should know that, god.)

plastic tampons filled with plain yogurt and then, ahem, applied appropriately. (this works best when you freeze them first. feels better too.)

― Samantha, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Um, plastic tampons?

― Ellie, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

sorry, plastic tampon applicators.

― Samantha, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

*is completely horrified by that suggestion*

I've never had one. But I don't think that if I did I'd be wanting to put frozen yogurt up there. Why would someone even think to do that? I'm curious.

Why doesn't your "friend" go to the drugstore and just buy some OTC treatment, Mike?

― Ally, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Dip the tampon itself in bio yoghurt, then insert. It feels nice and cool and actually works. Ahem.

Marmite - the homeopathic remedy.

― Nick, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

how the fuck is that going to help clear up my throat thrush then?

― Geoff, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

God does not have a vagina! How am I to know of these terrestrials problems! I'm having allot of trouble with a black hole I'm working on in Andromeda.

― Mike Hanle y, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Marmite?! It stings enough when it gets in a cut on your finger - can you imagine what it would do to your raging itch down there?

― Madchen, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

do you go to the emergency room for this?

― Mike Hanle y, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ally, yogurt helps b/c of the live yeast cultures in it. It is an excellent homeopathic rememdy for this. Eating it will also help some but not as quickly or completely as direct application. The freezing of the yogurt makes it easier to apply and is really relieving to the sufferer.

― Samantha, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Cranberry juice is also very good for any infection of the urinary tract. If you ever order a cranberry juice in the Cock at Highbury & Islington, the bar man will give you a funny look and tell you this fact.

― Madchen, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

why would I order cranberry juice in the cock?

― Mike Hanle y, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

BTW I don't think its the yeast cultures in yogurt that kill the yeast but rather the acidiphilus. Or maybe the preservatives. Or the fruity bottum.

― Mike Hanle y, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yes i think your right mike. it's the live stuff in there that helps. but dont' use the fruity kind. One cannot beat Cranberry for it's ability to stave off UTIs. As someone who once ignored a UTI and ended up in the hospital with a kidney infection, I respect the Cranberry. (NB, going to pee directly after sex is the best to prevent UTIs altogether.)

― Samantha, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If you are a vegan are you allowed to shove yoghurt-soaked tampons up yourself? NB I am not a vegan nor am I inclined to do this.

― Emma, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

you may also try tea tree oil or having an iguana give you cunilingus

― Mike Hanle y, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

According to my sources, soya yoghurt makes an acceptable subsitute for the milk based stuff.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

This board has hit rock bottom.

― Nick, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

My mum uses toothpaste.

― Pete, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought that was for mosquito bites.

― Madchen, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought it was for spots!

― Nick, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought it was for hemmroids, now back to the thread. I think you can buy acidiphilus pills too , and blast them up your "fanny".

― Mike Hanle y, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Heh, heh , You said Fruity Bottom...

― Hank, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

OTC remedies consist usually of a vaginal pessary and topical cream - you can also get a tablet to be taken orally. They cost ££££££s more than yoghurt and eventually you seem to get immune to them (tho' effective to begin with), plus directed dose says not to use more than once every 6 mths. I'm so happy that my first contributions to ILE have been on such an uplifting subject.

― Ellie, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

fresh garlic clove pessary wrapped in cheesecloth is one homeopathic remedy
This thread is turning into a roast chicken recipe!

I take acidophillus capsules everyday, it's supposed to be good for the digestion, most people don't get enough in their diet. They have to be refrigerated or they don't work, however.

― Lesley Higgins, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Pure entertainment. I thank every participant.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"you may also try tea tree oil or having an iguana give you cunilingus" may be the best thing ever said on this board.

and "god has no vagina" is at least a song, if not an album, title.

― jess, Friday, 5 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i still don't see how shoving foodstuffs up my butt is going to help my throat thrush.

― Geoff, Saturday, 6 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh Samantha, I can sympathise with you on the UTI turned Kidney Infection thing - the same happened to me when I was 14 or 15 and knew no better.

When my doctor asked me if I knew why I got so many UTI's I said "Yes, it's because I'm a Scorpio and everyone knows Scorpios get the most uro-genital problems". He thought I was mad and told me it was because I had too much wild sex. I just thought "Duh, the wild sex is why Scorpios have the most uro-genital problems".

Anyway, now I know how *very* important weeing after sex is, I don't get them.

As for the thrush down the throat thing: to prevent it, don't give cunnilingus to chicks with vaginal yeast infections.

Taking sides, weeing and sex: Before vs After vs During?

Geoff, this is yr topic surely?

― mark s, Saturday, 6 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

my flatmate was told that UT infections were the honeymooner's illness - wild sex which causes vag germs (healthy) to get into urinary tract - he drew her three circles, pointing out where her "water" came out....

anyway, yeha, shoving food stuffs for fun = classic, but i still want to know how to get rid of the thrush in my throat - i've been shoving food in for months, to no relief...and now I've become addicted to throaties, and it's a downward spiral.

― Geoff, Saturday, 6 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

no no, the yohgurt and garlic gets put in the vagina, not ass. And do not eat Monistat 7, it tastes like Bob Hope

― Mike Hanle y, Saturday, 6 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

so if I eat garlic youghurt out of a vagina, it should clear up my throat thrush?

― Geoff, Sunday, 7 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

A much duller response that vagina/garlic/yoghurt combination, but you can get prescription tablets for throat thrush (at least in the UK). Big chalky yellow things. Are you asthmatic? Some kinds of preventative inhaler can cause thrush in mouth at highish doses - if so you need to use a diffuser thing.

― Ellie, Monday, 8 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

This is officially The Best Thread Evah.

― Nicole, Monday, 8 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

have taken the pills to no effect, and have stopped using my6 preventative puffer in fear of aggravation, replacing it with a stronger brand of cigareete, but all to no avail.

― Geoff, Monday, 8 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What is a throat thrush anyways? I have heard of ruby throated thrushes, but not throat thrush.

― Mike Hanle y, Monday, 8 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Mike Hanle y, you have made thrush sound almost pretty. Which I guess will be no comfort to Geoff, to whom big sympathy.

― Ellie, Monday, 8 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

throat thrush is an accursed disease brouth to us pirates by mighty enemies - basically your throat feels as if it has a little muppet in the back scratching furiosly at yr palatte with a bee sting...you click and you rub with yr tongue, but that just makes it worse, you wake up in the morning feeling like tom waites after a pint of kerosene, and you become addicted to throaties lollies and other strange sthings. Tis not pretty me hearty brohter of sinking merhcants hips.

― Geoff, Monday, 8 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)
