Need some information on Vaginal Lesions - Help!

[Guest guest]

I have been having some lesions that were first diagnosed as herpes but all

blood-work is

negative for over 6 months so now no doctors (seen 2) seem to have an idea of

what it really

is. I am puzzled and wondering if anyone out there has had any lesions that

have not been

related to herpes. They start as cracks, and then get deeper and sore and then

heal in about

a week, there is no scabbing. It has happened twice, only in times of true

exhaustion and

while on antibotics so it might seem to be yeast but there is no actual yeast

present so I am

not sure if that is possible. Any direction from anyone would help? I am

worried. Thank-

you.

Malibu, I would go to a gastroenterologist and ask to

be tested for inflammatory bowel disease--Crohn's most

specifically.

Also, 80% of Crohn's patients have gluten sensitivity

and most of those have dairy sensitivity which does

almost as much damage. The only place to be accurately

tested for gluten sensitivity (and also dairy and

dietary yeast sensitivity)is at a lab called Enterolab

who does it by mail. Also there is a lot of

information and study that indicates that dietary

yeast, baker's and brewer's yeast sensitivities may

cause Crohn's Disease.

Your lesions could actually be small or beginning

fistulas.

Here are links you might want to read.
