Q: prescription creams, Diflucan, and even Gentian Violet and the yeast comes right back. I've wondered if it's because I'm real warm blooded. I don't wear panty hose or tight jeans. Does anyone know what is causing this? I have been taking the birth control pill for 30 years, but had yeast infections before the pill. I had a colonoscopy recently and thought the cleansing prior to it would flush out any yeast in my system if that were it. When I was younger, I was on antibiotics a lot. Also, when I was younger, I had a high sugar diet. I use Splenda now. I wear all cotton panties and keep my self clean. EDIT: The yeast infections are RECURRENT not chronic. Sorry. I have been to the doctor MANY MANY times and it's always a yeast infection.
A: You may have to resort to the anti candida diet, No sugar, no yeast etc. Take a very good probiotic (like VSL#3). Grapefruit seed extract and paul d'arco may help too. There's more advice on the link below.
