Tara, I forgot!

[Guest guest]

Tara, I want to add that in the past, about seven or eight years ago, I had

extreme vulvar itching, pain, white vulvar and anal skin, etc., etc., like you

were describing.

I was sent to a gyn oncologist who put me under a general anaesthetic and

performed 12 knife biopsies on the vulvar skin and then put me on steroid

creams. What a mess. The diagnosis was Lichen Sclerosis (a crock). I told them

many times it was yeast but they said I didn't have yeast. It was yeast I

maintain. When I finally was given a large supply of Diflucan to treat myself by

a great urologist, it gradually went away. It was yeast, darn it!! If I hadn't

gotten that Diflucan I would really be in bad shape. It has never come back in

that form again and all pain and itching and excoriation disappeared when I

stopped eating gluten. I later realized after testing that dairy had a part in

all this, too. I still have yeast but now it is treated properly and doesn't get

to the point of tearing up my vulvar skin.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you this in case it might help.
