Thanks for sharing Swandattur. Unfortunately I couldn't find any online in Australia.
I contacted Dr Peat about it (I was scared, it was worsening and even spreading to my lips). Long story short he said that vinegar (due to acetic acid) and saturated fats are mildly toxic to fungi without being harmful to people. Vinegar is best on grated carrot so it reaches the gut. I was having quite a lot of melon & mango but he said these foods can lead to bacterial problems in the small intestine. Said that the coconut oil I've been having may be adding to the problem if not properly refined.
I was already having a carrot dipped in some vinegar, and most of my saturated fat was coming from refined coconut oil & 2% milk. 2-3 days ago I switched to full cream milk, am stopping fruit for a small while (then I'll add back watery fruits/juice like RP suggested), and switched to ghee. I've also started eating 2 carrot salads a day (grated carrot, 1 tbsp vinegar, 2tsp olive oil, salt. It's finally starting to clear up! Last night I rinsed my mouth out with activated charcoal which also may have helped. I'm still a mess and the doctors are trying to figure out why I'm getting it in the first place (perhaps it's just hypothyroidism??).
Anyway, hope this might help someone else out there.
