Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hey , The yeast issue is so frustrating and unless someone has had a yeast infection of some sort, they just cannot commiserate. It's maddening. I was a constant, walking yeast infection for years and years, and I can very easily slip back into it if I'm not careful. While I cannot say if it was homeopathy or diet or both, I am now in a much better place and don't usually have flare-ups. For me to be itch-free I have to take probiotics several times a day and virtually eat no sweets. I also try to really limit my flours and starchy carbs. When I do this my yeast is pretty much in check. I have never had to go hardcore like many people do, but if you're really bad off you might give it a try. There is also a product called Candex (not cheap), which are simply enzymes that eat the yeast. These, used in conjunction with GOOD probiotics will probably help. I am not sure of what you're already doing. The cheapest place I've found the Candex is my local Vitamin Shoppe store. It was a full $10 or so cheaper than at the HFS. As for the allopathic way around it, I always had monistat or some other yeast cream on hand. It never went away permanently. It was take a vacation for a week or so and then it was right back. Horrible!!! Hope this helps! Sheri B. --------------------------------- How low will we go? Check out Messenger’s low PC-to-Phone call rates.
