Guest guest Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Keltie, don't know about the effects of cornstarch on active yeast infections, other than that I have used it for years to try and control excessive dampness under and it worked reasonably well in that application -- but in deference to your GYN maybe if there is an active yeast infection one might want to avoid cornstarch. Don't know. But talc is not good period. I DO know that there have been a number of studies which suggest that talc can or may possibly contribute to cervical cancer should it become absorbed or enter the vaginal track. And of course, there is the respiratory effects which you mention. Thanks for your input. I'll remember to ask my GNY next time I see her about cornstarch use during an active yeast onslaught. I think we all know how miserable one of those can be!
