Yeast? Fungal species changing

[Guest guest]

It occurs to me that maybe the fact that Glabrata is

on the increase and Albicans on the decrease is that

vaginal yeast infections likely are really intestinal

overgrowths of whatever yeast is available. An

unhealthy intestinal tract, without normal good

bacterial contents to defend from yeast might well

just be take over by any yeast that happens to get the

upper hand. When Albicans disappears from treatment

with Diflucan medications, the Glabrata increases in

its place. I think the answer is to try to heal the

gut perhaps with excellent food, probiotics, (maybe

enzymes if gluten and yeast free????) and continued

yeast treatment. I wonder if or what is available

besides Boric Acid for treatment of Glabrata?

Tami,

Thanks very much for that information and I am sure

somebody will need that (hopefully not me --~). This

yeast business is really nasty and persistant and the

docs don't seem to want to know much about it. I hope

this works for you.
