Chronic recurring yeast infection may be stomach infection

Posted , 5 users are following.

After suffering from recurring yeast infections for 34 years, the culprit has finally been found. A very common bacterial infection in the stomach, almost half of the population has it, but most with this infection do not have any symptoms. For those few of us with symptoms it may appear as a yeast infection with bloating, constipation, heartburn, and an cottage cheese stinky discharge. I would always feel better when taking antibiotics or diflucan but the symptoms would reappear after the medication wore off because the problem wasn't my girly parts. This problem was my stomach and it was found by endoscopy and biopsy of my inflamed stomach by an gastroenterologist not a gynecologist. Your body maybe discharging the infection from your stomach out of your vagina too. I tried all the Candida diets, supplements, etc...It didn't work. I didn't know the bloating, constipation, and heartburn were things I should be telling a doctor about and not just the icky discharge. You too, may have something wrong with your pipes, not your furnace. If you are suffering from recurring chronic yeast, it's worth it to have your pipes checked out. It's a new world and life for me to be finally free of what I thought was chronic yeast and so did my gynecologist. I have not had one drip and the bloating, constipation, and heartburn are gone with the nasty drip since finishing the special antibiotic prescription packets specifically designed to treat this very common stomach bacterial infection by my gastroenterologist. Just thought I would post this for consideration.
