Has anbody here been diagnosed with a persistent yeast infection? I.e. one that does not go away even with a 5 pack of Diflucan and RX strength yeast creams? I had one of over a year and it went away 3 years ago but I have another one that also wont quit and I want to see what may be new in addressing this. If it has happened to you, what did your OBGYN do to fix it? If you are a medical professional, what treatments are best or what should I do (refrain from saying "see your doctor, thats part of my problem Im not sure he is using the best methods)? What options are out there for me to talk to my doctor about? PS, I don’t want to overdo the Diflucan becaue I know its not good for the liver. Thanks!
PS, no I dont have an underlying medical cause fueling the yeast infectoin. I know persistent yeast infection could be a sign of HIV or Diabetes,but in my case its not – thats been ruled out. Thanks again!

I am 24 years old. I got my first yeast infection when I was 11. A few years went by and I was fine. Then, when I was about 17 I started getting them all of the time. If it ever does go away, then it comes right back. I have been to several doctors with no luck. They tested me for diabetes and HIV several times, both came back negative. They did C&S on them and told me I did’t have a resistant strain, but I constantly have one and it is really effecting my life, mood, marriage, etc. Any suggestions, or has anyone been through this?

I am pregnant. and just took my glucose test. they said i have a somewhat high blood sugar level. could a yeast infection cause a higher blood sugar level? or could a yeast infection be caused by gestational diabetes??

There is so much wishy washy information out there that it’s time consuming and difficult to sift through everything.
I already know about eating yogurt & taking garlic supplements (not sure how much and how often). I am also taking a 3 day OTC antifungal (can this damage my bod) & feeling some relief already. I don’t want to take diflucan. I decided not to take the oral herbal cure the grocery store had because it contained yeast in it, & that’s what I’m trying to fight against! LOL =O
How much fruit is safe to eat with my plain yogurt and kefir? How much sugar is okay in products like milk or adding Splenda to coffee (which I read that aspartame is also feeding the yeast)?What about fasting?
I read somewhere it has to do with the pH balance but not to drink sodas because of sugar?
I do not have diabetes but "sugar" & diabetes has been known to run on both sides of the family.
Is there anything else I need to know about natural remedies that I have not asked on here?
