Yeast can cause these vulvar pain problems I believe.

" Other research has linked intestinal Candida to Celiac disease (8). Celiac

disease is an autoimmune disease in which a T-cell mediated immune response

results in damage to the tissue of the small intestine. This reaction is

triggered by the ingestion of gluten, a protein found in grains, predominantly

wheat, barley and rye. What the research shows is that a protein found in the

cell wall of Candida is very similar to gluten. As a result, the immune system

can confuse gluten found in grains for the cell wall of Candida and mount a

response against the gluten. "

Celiac/Gluten Sensitivity is an autoimmune disease where antibodies attack your

tissue--anywhere and not just in the intestine.

They keep telling us that yeast infections don't cause these vulvar pain and

inflammation problems. The infection doesn't cause it but the immune system that

attacks the tissue that is around the gluten and also the Candida because the

immune system mistakes the Candida for gluten since they have similar

cells--does likely cause it. Why would the vulva and genitals be excluded since

it attacks everything else?? The body thinks the candida is gluten and attacks

the surrounding tissue.

So, whether or not one has a candida yeast infection (which simply means more

candida than usual) isn't the deciding factor. The deciding factor is whether

you are sensitive to gluten and if you are you likly are having autoimmune

reactions also against any amount of candida in your system and since the

candida is swimming in your vagina (urine?, gut?, etc.) it also attacks your

nerves in the area. And remember these proteins are carried in the bloodstream

to all parts of the body I believe.

It is more complicted than this because other food reactions are likely also

involved. In fact gluten also cross reacts with dairy proteins--which means I

assume that your immune system is also attacking your tissues anywhere the dairy

proteins are coursing through your body in addition to gluten and candida.

It seems to me that when a doc decides to shoot something into your tissue you

ought to find out why, how, and what it is supposed to do for you. I hope I am

wrong but too often I think that they are just grasping at straws and haven't a

clue. I suppose these substances are somehow supposed to stop " the

inflammation " ? I hope they do but wouldn't we know it if they did?
