Guest guest Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I went on birth control about a year ago and started to have yeast infections. They became very chronic and 8 months later I finally went of the pill. I last took a birth control pill in August. I did do a 7 day course of cipro around February (for something else) and tried Diflucan twice (no relief). I have taken a daily probiotic (bifodus and acidophallus) for years. I started the candida diet in August, increased my probiotics to ~20billion strands/day, keifer daily, added a host of vitamins and minerals, take citrus seed extract (2-3 times/day) and apple cider vinegar daily, and use herbal suppositories that include borax (Boiron). I originally tried food grade hydrogen peroxide (3%) orally as recommended by Pitchford but was scared of it. I never got passed 3 or 4 drops in 8 oz of water. I have been douching with 3% HP which does wonders but I am worried about the long term affects of this. About a month ago I started Candex and may be starting to see some results but noting major at this point. I added psyllum husk just a few days ago. I am still having chronic vaginal yeast infections (if I dont use a suppository or HP3% it will come back in a matter of days), I now have athletes foot for the 2nd time in a few months (never before in my life), I had a yeast patch on my hand recently, I have major sugar cravings, headaches come on that I have never had before and also anal itching. My question is what else can I add? Am I missing something major or do I just need to be patient? I was thinking about trying a parasite cleanse since I have read that they may clear candida as well.
