I have been experimenting with kickstart food for several weeks before the official start. The week I subbed breakfast scramble for yogurt I got a thrush infection in my throat....a possible side effect from my asthma inhaler I have successfully avoided for years. Now, after just a few days without yogurt I have a UTI. I am going to have a soy ygurt for dessert tonight....does it have the same cultures the dairy yogurt does??? I feel like my body is "addicted to those cultures. Thanks for any help and advice.

Posted Tuesday, January 3, 2012 at 6:07 PM I am so not a doctor, but have cats that have been suffering with UTI's lately. I really suggest cranberry pills, which cleared them up. Make sure you are drinking lots and lots of water too. I'm thinking the thrush could be the asthma inhaler too, I remember all the warnings with mine. When I stopped the dairy, I was able to say bye bye to the asthma inhaler. My other allergies are almost zero, and I used to have to treat them almost daily. Only one that still gets me is dust allergies which warn me it is time to clean my house, lol.

I know the thrus probably did come from my daily prevention inhaler...but I have been using that inhaler for years and never gotten the thrush complication. A few days without yogurt and bam! Thrush! Does anyone out there take a pro-biotic? Soy yogurt has a lot of calories for a lot less protein than the Greek (dairy) non fat does, so I don't know if I will be eating it every day, but again I'm worried about my "good bacteria" balance. Thanks again!
