Help! yeast infections are driving me crazy!?!
Question: Help! yeast infections are driving me crazy!!?
I am a 25 year old girl, pretty healthy in general!. I get tired easily and suffer from restless legs & cramps!. Apart from that, my major problem is that I have had recurrent least infections for the past 2 years!.
They started after a 2 week course of broad-spectrum antibiotocs!. At that time, I didn't know about the link between yeast infections and antibiotics so didn't think to take an actophilius supplement (and nobody told me to)!.
I have been to doctors and gynaecologists, I have taken prescription meds (oral and vaginal), I have tried the 'natural' route, I cut out all sugar from my diet- I eat a tonne of yoghurt every day and loads of garlic!.
I have even tried the super-strict anti-candida diets along with taking supplements such as caprylic acid!. NOTHING has worked!. It is so so frustrating!. I can't understand what is causing the infections (I feel like I have an infection nearly all of the time, but the itching gets worse before my period!. My sex life is non-existent as sex is too painful)!.
By the way, I have been diagnosed and checked for other infections / STIs!.
ANY help at all would really be appreciated!.

First, a couple more naturo-ideas (which i'm sure you're tired of hearing)-remember that all fermented foods (booze, wine and cheese for example) throw off your ph and can cause yeast infections!. Also sugar, as you mentioned and an overabundance of fruit!. Probiotics are AMAZING!. One everyday with food!. Now for the meds; typical methods like antifungals like the Difflucan Pill and over the counter creams are steadily having a resistance built up to them!. So, if you've sought these before and now they're not working!? It could be why!. Try Boric Acid suppositories!. They are the old way, really old!. Its amazing stuff!. Look up Tori Hudson-she is an incredible doc from Portland OR!. She has bottled Boric Acid through Vitanica-her meds company!. Please try, they changed my outlook on intimacy!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Consider the possibility that you are getting reinfected by your partner!. When you get treated, the other person should also get treated!. In this way you can rule out re-infection as a source!.

well, you've probably already tried it, but try AZO's homeopathic tablets!. You can take them everyday and it says it's supposed to help treat and prevent yeast infections!. It cleared mine up in a day, it worked great!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Could be from your sex partner!. Men carry it too and can continue to reinfect the female!. He needs to be treated as well!. All the things you are trying may be doing you more harm!. You need to let your body get back to the normal flora!. If that doesn't work then you need to see another GYN!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
