How is your diet overall? Candida thrives on sugars. How is the acidity in your vagina as this may impact on 'thrush'.
Canestan - pessaries made me burn++ and I had to sit in a cooling bath for hours. Never again.
There have been a few members with similar threads on the Forum. I suffered when I stopped taking The Pill as well as when I had emergency surgery and was starved for several days!
Have U tried LIVE yoghurt: eaten and applied? It worked for me during those times stated above but do keep the pots separate ;-). I also gave table spoons to my dog when she had heartburn. Licked off the spoon it did the trick.
for all the suggestions CLKD
I’ll have a look for the other threads.
I’ve not thought to check the pH, but come to think of it, this kicked off a couple of days after my period started, and the itching/burning has calmed down quite a lot since my period ended.
Diet is pretty good for the most part. Whole foods, minimally processed. I try to avoid sugar as much as I can but my downfall is the occasions where I comfort eat (cake, desserts, etc) when my mood plummets - it’s usually brought on by hormones but can be related to other things. This can happen between 1 - 3 x a week, but then I can have good spells and not touch sugar for a couple of weeks!
I try to eat a portion of live yoghurt and Sauerkraut (not together!
) each day and started taking Optibac Probiotics for Women in the hope they might help!
