Benadryl keeps causing thrush!

edited August 2012 in Breastfeeding
I dont know why but whenever I take benadryl it creates thrush in my nipples and my daughter gets a rash after nursing.

I get yeast infections from it too.

  • That's very strange. :/ It isn't any kind of antibiotic or anything which would usually make you prone to yeast. Very odd.
  • @RTMommy I know its weird but it is. My daughter is 13 months.... Me having thrush right now is so odd.
  • I wonder if it's something else? I tried researching anything linking diphenhydramine to candida and there's nothing. It's actually suggested as part of treatment for thrush. So strange.
  • Sounds like you're maybe allergic to it. Does it happen with any other allergy meds?
