Hello!
Since the year 2000 I've had nearly constant vaginal pain. It seems to be yeast connected..although I have gone to the doctor with this pain and they have said at times there wasn't yeast. It took me years to get up the guts to go to a gyn and while she was nice to me, I basically was making all the suggestions about what it was that could be wrong. I know I should go back, but there's never a calm good enough time to do that.
3 years ago I went on the candida diet, and it's helped, but its still an issue. I haven't been able to have intercourse in 2 years. I've tried all anti fungal things imaginable. The depression from "losing food" has been significant. I was emotionally tied to and so comforted by food and I have lost all foods except meat, quinoa, and 1 vegetable. All this to keep the pain at bay, and yet, I still have pain at least half the month (versus every single day when I'm not on this diet). If I even eat a bite of potato for example, I have instant pain vaginally. It will take 3 or 4 days to clear up. I have told doctors..they just say huh, strange. I got up the guts to take a diabetes self test the other day (urine) it showed normal. I don't have most diabetes symptoms. Has anyone else dealt with this, or found a way to cure it?
