A member asked:
I am taking sulfasalizine for mixed connective tissue disease. i have developed thrush. would this med. be the cause?

Almost certainly: Your thrush is likely the tip of the iceberg-antibioitics like sulfsalizine kill our friendly flora but don't kill yeast, leading to overgrowth throughout the GI tract (known as intestinal candidiasis). This is treated with a low starch diet, probiotics & antifungal drugs or herbs. See http://www.Huffingtonpost.Com/dr-mark-hyman/yeast-infection-symptoms_b_657354.Html & http://bit.Ly/1aeoabl.
