Hi Everyone, I am as always still battling the candida thing. It seems to be under so much better control when I don't do any sugar but really cutting out even fruit and other relatively harmless foodstuffs seem impossible for a lifetime.
Last summer I entered into the early menopause (eractic cycles and emotional upheaval)and my OB put me on a very low dose of birth control (loestrin)to stabilize my periods and help with moods. Well it seemed to help but instead of getting one period a month I get two. Every two weeks. I have squauked about this because at least I know when they are coming. I hate menstral surprises! Now I really want to combat the candida beast but I'm wondering how much the BC pill contributes to the candida. Should I just get off of the pill? If I do what do I do about regulating my cycle? Im reluctant to go back to my OB cuz they just want to pump you with drugs. I am on a herbal supplemnt also too. Any thoughts? Thanks for your consideration. :)Diane
