Re: Chronic Candida Vaginal Symptoms - Need help

[Guest guest]

I know what you mean. I have my period, no symptoms, but then I am

using a tampon. Period ends, 2 days later yeasties. I use the

acidophillus suppositories and it calms down quite a bit. You may want

to try them just to calm everything down. Have to use them for a least

a week. Then period comes and the process starts over.

I read somewhere on the internet that vaginal yeast infections are

cyclic(now I can't find it, maybe I dreamed it). They run their course

over a long period time. Then they are gone. Now if only that is

true!!! I do know I had really bad yeast infectons about 14 years ago,

they finally went away and I don't know why. Now they are back waging

war.

I know getting my period is actually a relief because I don't have itchiness and

pain. I too use the acidophillus suppositories. My naturopath has suggested that

I alternate 7 days acidophillus suppositories and then 7 days boric acid. When I

first started it seemed like they were really helping but now it has been about

three weeks and things are bad again. I am sore all day long and I am sooo

frustrated!

Just a thought that along with all the other stuff you guys are trying I also

use ice packs. I use the gel packs you can freeze and then " sit " on it for 20min

every couple of hours or so when I'm at home. Has helped to calm the area and

since yeast like warm environment so I figured I'd try to keep the area cool.

Do not put an ice pack directly on your skin or you risk frost bite. Wrap it in

a dish towel and don't leave it there for more that 20 minutes and see if this

helps.

After a shower I use the hairdryer on a cool setting to make sure I'm very dry.

Hope some of this helps you. I'm not yeast free here but I don't have it all

month anymore.

Cheers

Have you tried not using tampons at all? I think it can be a contributing factor

as well (it happened to me once). Try two months with no tampons to see if it

will be any better.

It is thought that candida can live on your underwear,

and reinfect you even after washing, so better safe

then sorry. A quick 10 seconds in the microwave

before wearing can help. Laundry detergent can kill

good bacteria and interupt the natural balance in your

private area.

Here are a few other things to try/consider:

- Soak a tampon in tea tree oil and insert it normally

(not during period)

- Could you have a serious medical condition, such as

immune system disorder, AIDS, Cancer or something else

that hasn't been caught yet?

- Have you done colon cleanses and cleaned out your

entire body? Wiping from front to back is very

important! Could your colon be reinfecting you?

- Did you try the acidophulus, garlic, etc. all at the

same time?

- Do you smoke or have other environmental factors

that could be causing your immune system to work

overtime and be too busy to work on the candida?

Did you mean to say that on a tampon, put some just

out of the bottle tea tree oil?

I would think that would be a bit harsh for inside.

Hi Everyone

I found some pantie liners also caused a flare up. You

need to look for ones that are breathable and that

have a cotton lining.

I've always used the brand Tampax internally, with no

problems. You could try pulling back the tampon a

little, within the cartridge and fill the end with

Aloe Vera (natural anti-fungal) before inserting, very

soothing.

I find it frustrating about the pantiliners because I like to wear them the next

morning after putting in either a boric acid or acidophillus suppository. Does

anyone know what brand is appropriate, ie. breathable etc.?

Thanks for your suggestions/comments.

- Could you have a serious medical condition, such as

immune system disorder, AIDS, Cancer or something else

that hasn't been caught yet?

I have been checked for AIDS, Diabetes, immune function, hypoglycemia, irritable

bowel, etc. I am now really considering whether it might be parasites.

- Have you done colon cleanses and cleaned out your

entire body?

I haven't done this and I think this is going to be my next step. I need to

especially cleanse my kidneys because I had a severe kidney infection two years

ago after months of bladder infections. I have seen been extremely susceptible

to bladder infections.

As for your other suggestions I have addressed all of them. So I think I am

going to work on doing some cleansing.

Thanks Debby,

Steph

Do a search on the net for tea tree oil and tampon and

you'll find a ton of sites that suggest the same

thing. I meant what I said, and have done it myself.

I tend to have rhino skin though, and I'm not

sensitive to anything, so for me it was just fine.

You can dilute the tea tree oil or use less if it

bothers you.

I've had my best luck with the organic disposables or (better) the

washable kind. The basic GladRags one, without any extra liners, is

perfect for a liner. (www.gladrags.com, or local organic, etc.,

stores.)

Do you regualarly put the aloe vera on the tampon when you have your

period? That sounds like a very simple aid in combatting the

yeasties. I am definitely going to try this since I don't think I want

to give up tampons, I find the whole monthly thing a bit too messy to

go back to " mouse mattresses " .

You can apply Aloe Vera as many times as you want.

Whether you have your period or not, it will help

combat vaginal thrush.
