RE: Re: yeast infections / bioidentical vaginal cream

[Guest guest]

Have you ever thought of other systemic causes? I had raging yeast issues a while back and it ended up being from a corn allergy... Doctors were clueless, told me it was scabies <a mite infection usually contracted from dirty living conditions or animals> as I was covered in a nasty rash, and constant very painful yeast infections...

Hi Laurel,

I can only take the prometrium every three or four months at which time my dosage is 2 tablets daily on days 14 - 28, as I prefer to cycle. It's possible the yeast infection might be connected to the progesterone, but I have recurring infections even when I haven't taken the prometrium for ~ three months . . . so don't know if it has anything to do w/ the progesterone . . . ?

That's interesting re. the kefir grains. I am not familiar at all with this product. Can I get it at a health food stone . . . and is it drinkable?

Thanks,

Sadie

Evalon, Ovestin, Ortho Gynest (from Masters Marketing). I don't know if

there is an American made estriol vaginal product. The Premarin (horse pee)

people have a good lobby. I use estriol cream on my face. It is absorbed

systemically only through mucus membranes.

Re: yeast infections / bioidentical vaginal cream

Hi Val,

Do you know the " tradename " of the estriol cream? That way my doctor can

check for it in her book of pharmaceuticals. I did ask her for " estriol

cream " , but that name wasn't in the book, so she didn't know what I was

talking about :-) (My doctor is totally uninformed re. bio-identicals!) As

an example, estradiol isn't in the book either, but the tradenames estrogel

& estrodot are . . . both products I now use.

Many thanks,

Sadie
