I've been battling a persistent yeast AND bacterial infection for 6 months now. Started with bactieral infection...been treating that, and about 2 months ago got a yeast infection on top of it! So, now i've had both for about 2 months. My doc and I have tried EVERYTHING!! Oral meds, antifungal creams, metrogel, relaguard, etc. I've been takign acidopholus (sp?) for about 5 weeks now. Just went back to the doc today, and still have BOTH infections. She has decided the next step to try metrogel twice a day for 2 weeks (previously, it had been once/day for 2 weeks, and then twice a day for 1 week), and diflucan twice a day for 2 weeks (i have not tried diflucan yet). continue acidopholus.
She also wants me to pretty much eliminate sugar and white starches from my diet. This is my main question. What does this include? Obviously no white bread, whtie rice or potatos. No "real" sugar (i.e. in dessert). What aobut artificial sweeteners ? What about fruit? Oatmeal? HELP! other advice??
