Re: Re-current Yeast infections? Hmmm

[Guest guest]

I thought reoccurant yeast infections started in the gut. I didn't get rid of mine until i went on a special diet. I went off and it came back. So not sure the vagistat alone would work if the bodies PH and gut is screwed up too and the hormones. There has to be some reason a person would continue to get yeast infections.

You're probably right hon and diet sure play a large part in it....that was even that one that tied in Celiac with yeast... but IF it's a different type or strain of yeast that isn't being treated correctly in the first place, I'd think a different medicine 'might' at least be worth a try. Who knows? Sure can be frustrating though.

I think part of the re-currence factor deals with the vaginal immune

system being off-kilter. If we are easily inflammed, then the local

immune system may not be able to handle even small numbers of yeast

that normal immune systems can keep in check.

If yeast is your culprit, I really think this could be part of the

problem. I do believe that you can have a normal working immune

system and still have this localized area of poor immunity. I feel

part of what has helped me become 95% better is keeping the yeast at

bay long enough to allow my tissues to calm down and allow the

over-reacting tissues to stop reacting. I have been on dilflucan for

16 months now. When my script runs out this time, I will see what

happens. Of course, PT has been a huge part of my success.
