Yeast

[Guest guest]

ml, cornstarch is food for yeast! My mother used cornstarch and so did

we, of course. May have kept us dry, but it fed the yeast. I even

tried regular body powder and had the same problem.

Notice I changed the subject because yeast is very much on topic for

diabetics.

Oh great!!! I have been feeding the thing for years and years, holy cow!!!!!!!!!

Now I

will have to change it. I still have 3 boxes left. Maybe I will just keep them

for

emergency, yikes!!!! Leave it to me. I never did like regular body powder for

some

reason though.

Thanks again Helen. I learned something else I don't like, He He He!!!!

Yep, me too. In fact the reason I went to the doctor was I tried a course of

monistat that didn't make my vaginal YI go away and that may have been what

triggered the doc to give me a random BG test which came out at 483.

Congratulations, Dorothy! You have a lovely, newly-diagnosed case of DM!

He gave me Terazol 7 to use with an applicator, but what really helped, I

think, was a teeny bottle of powder he gave me called NY STOP 100,000U. It's

a prescription med, and BOY, did it keep the external area DRY.

I agree with those who suggest yogurt, but it would need to be a live

culture yogurt. Most yogurt in the supermarkets is pasteurized to make it

last longer on the shelf, so the cultures are dead. Alternatively, a SUPER

supplement is Lactinex tablets. It's a non-prescription tablet (also

available as granules, I think) of LIVE lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria.

You need to ask the pharmacist for it (it has to be kept refrigerated) and

she may need to order it if she doesn't keep it in stock. It works

WONDERFULLY for cold sores, which is how I discovered it. A friend

recommended it once when I had a terrible case of them in my mouth about 25

years ago. You know how you often get diarrhea when you're taking an

antibiotic? That's because the antibiotic is killing your internal " good

germs " with the bad stuff. Lactinex for a few days helps your intestinal

system re-grow it's good flora and get you back on track. Great stuff, and

I'm surprised it's not at all widely known.

HTH!

I was also told NO to using baby powder for the same reason - I still use it for

keeping dry - but at the slightest sign of my skin " blooming " I switch back to

Desenex powder.

This is kind of an interesting article on yeast and

food allergens.

Arline

The vagina often reacts to circulating food allergens

with increased mucus production and secondary candida

overgrowth. Milk allergy, for example, commonly

triggers vaginitis in both children and adults.
