Hi.  Do any of you experience this?  I've been diagnosed with AV and am going back in a few weeks for initial treatment options.

    I just remembered that several years ago I had used some Preparation H wipes and they caused me to have what felt like a yeast infection in the anal area. Used some home remedy (forget what) and it went away. Obviously have never used those wipes again! I used to have a very funny elderly neighbor who happened to mention once that he would never use Irish Spring soap. When I naively asked why not he said it gave him a yeast infection. Most people would never say such a thing, but sharing this kind of info is really beneficial.

      I thought I might have a gluten problem as my father had signs of blunted villi in his intestines which showed in a colonoscopy. I've had one myself, but the doc said it just showed inflammation which could be caused by the prep. Have decided on my own to vary the grains I eat instead of constant wheat. Hasn't made a difference re my unpredictable digestive system, but it's probably healthier in general.

      When I was having the undiagnosed vag bacterial issue I saw a PA who put me on Diflucan (she felt I probably had an overabundance of yeast in my intestines which can easily transfer) and put me on a yeast free diet. The only result was weight loss and a cure to dandruff! Unfortunately, the both came back after I stopped the diet which was way too restrictive for me.

      Re soap I used the mildest I can find and very little of it. No scented anything. Good luck with your search for good health!
