NO NO NO! Never by mouth! You take empty 00 gelcaps and buy powered

boric acid (over the counter dirt cheap) and fill the capsules about

1/2-3/4 full. Then insert them into the vagina at night and wear a

mini pad because they make you " juicy " and you leak. Do this nightly

for 7-14 nights.

I read that for every year you are sick...you have to do

yeast/sugar/antifungals for 1 month. So if you have had symptoms for

6 years.. you need 6 months of antifungals/diet to get over it.

Olive leaf extrace, grapeFRUIT seed extract, formula SF722, garlic,

and there are tons more of the natural antifungals. Rotate them

weekly to keep the fungus from getting immune to them.

do you mean taking the boric acid capsules by mouth? I have never heard

of this, I don't think this is something that can be taken by mouth. Just want

to clarify because the way it is written it sounds like taking the capsules by

mouth. Sorry just want to be sure. There is one thing about this yeast free

diet that gets to me and that is the fact that no one seems to be able to get

off of it. All I read it that when you are on this diet, that when you take one

bite of anything sugary that you get the symptoms back, is this true? This is

what I keep reading. This is not normal. everyone else out there who does not

have a yeast problem can eat sugar stuff without any problems and this is what

it should be like. Also I read that the yeast transform themselves into

something called rhizoid and they attach themselves to organs and tissues. I

also read that they have to be killed with medication and not just starving them

off?

Just wanting some answers.

Also I can tell you that when I was on the sporanox for that week I was symptom

free and when I stopped it my symptoms came back. This is the first time in 7

years. This just has to be a yeast problem for me. Also I am finding out at so

many people on my IC group also have toenail and fingernail fungus so I was

wondering if any of you who have VV have fingernail or toenail fungus?

Suzy - baking soda

Suzy:

Have you tried boric acid for recalibrating the vaginal Ph? You can

either use suppositories or take capsules. Just another possibility

in case the baking soda isn't giving you what you need. So far it

sounds like it's working and I think that's great.

Thanks Lynn. I forgot about that. I read that somewhere. I used to take grapefruit seed extract for a while off and on and the last time I used it I got a severe UTI so I quit taking it. Do you know anyone who has used these natural stuff that has worked for them?

" To Wake In Tears " and " Along The Healing Path " about interstitial

cystitis. Many women on the IC support site I go to are using

natrual antifungals. I can't get a diagnosis of IC so I am doing

things on my own. I had taken 17 doses of antibiotics in 24 months

(long story...) and that is when my vulvodynia burning started which

was soon followed by urethral pain and then bladder pressure. Been

to 3 urologist and they say " No IC " but have no clue what it is. I

don't even care anymore what it is ..I just want relief.

I started drinking Marshmallow Root Tea daily and am using Olive Leaf

Extract/Garlic/SF722/Vitamins/Soy tablets and things are better. I

tihnk something is happening because I got a cold sore for the first

time in YEARS so am taking L-Lysine for that. Talking to others they

think it is my body purging the virus from the Olive Leaf Extract.

Anyway---anytime you take antifungals you may get worse before you

get better. My first week on this stuff things got worse then I felt

like I had the flu (they call that die off) and now I am fine.
