Hi there, I can totally sympathize with you. I have spent the last 6 years of my life suffering from Vulvar vestibularlitis and lichen sclerosis, both of which caused me to have chronic yeast infections for two years. Fun fun. Anyway, as far as the weight loss is concerned I have seen several posters you were taking OoO and it stoped their weight loss so you might want to consider that. As far as the yeast goes, generally those who have a higher sugar carb intake are the ones that suffer from the yeast infections. Maybe if you are eating a lot of sugar alcohols that could be a problem. Also, you can purchase acidophulis pills at GNC or you want to make sure that the yogurt you purchase has life cultures in it, many do not. However, in most people the pills and yogurt do not help. I took Nizoral for about a year... I doubt it would be necisarry for you since you do not have a severe condition making you more likely to get yeast infection, I'd say two weeks max. Ask your doc, you can get pills or the yuk stuff (which does work better than the pills so I recommend that). Other things to consider are, have you been working out for a longer period of time, you could be getting sweatier down there and that could cause it. Then the obvious, detergents, pany hose, non cotton underwear, bubble bath, non using a water soluable lubricant during intercourse. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me. I wish you the best I know how miserable these things can make you.
