Vaginal Burning after eating

Hello All,

I am almost desperate and need some help. For the past three years I have had ongoing yeast infections. Now, I am beginning to think it is not yeast at all. The doctors at first glance say its yeast and prescribe me anti-fungals.They have not helped at all. I was constantly eating yogurt, taking pro biotics and did the same with the clear detergents. I read a women's blog about being misdiagnosed and having something called cytolitic vaginosis. Someone said to stop taking probiotics and eating yogurt as it is more of an irritant. I stopped and began to feel relief within days. Now I am experiencing constant burning and discharge after I eat every time!! Especially if its a carbohydrate. I am a small woman and am in need of carbs in order to gain weight. I don't know what to do, this is crazy. Has anyone heard or experiences this before? My last relationship was completely ruined and I am afraid to date anyone else due to embarrassment. The only time I do not experience discomfort is if I don't eat. I also wash with baby wash which is free of sulfates. Any help would be appreciated

IVe had this problem for a few months coming and going but now seems like its constant. Two drs so far knew nothing. Havent seen gyno. One iridologist ND knew nothing. IVe been looking into MAST cell disease syndrome and Im pretty sure it may have something to do with that. I;ve also had a very itchy rash thing all over that also seems to respond when histamine causing foods are eaten.

I've had this for 2 years... The D only made things worse. 7 doctors later, the 8th now tells me its nerve damage from when I had surgery and the cath was roughly put it or taken out. I don't really agree with this one. I think I have the yeast overgrowth, yet nothing shows in the vjj or the blood work. The burning for the most part is 24-7. If I took every drug these idiots have given me, especially hormone creams and pills, I'd really be in a pickle. Guess in todays world we have to be our own doctors, as these fools are to quick to shove pills down our throats, instead of taking the time to find the problem..

Look into candida. Yeast in the gut thrives on sugar, medications, etc and just keeps growing and growing. Check out the candida diet and do lots of research on it. It takes a long time before it's completely out of your system.

You need to look into candida overgrowth. But if you can afford it need to see a naturalpathy doctor. I get yeast infections alot bcuz of infections ive had to treat with antibiotics. I just got another one a month after being treated 4 a kidney infection. The probiotics should have helped. Since they aren't you need to look into your diet. Gluten causes yeast to grow within your gut and eventually causes allergic reactions to gluten. I never used to be inrollerant to gluten and im 24 now. But I am and I have leaky gut syndrome. I am also overweight bcuz I eat a lot of gluten which my body cannot process. So what im saying is you have a food allergy in your gut. This is how I know for sure! When I was pregnant I was tested for strep b I tested positive.  Its something that lives in your gut and can be passed on the the baby when giving birth so they give u an antibiotic drip while in labor. After that I realized my issues and constant yeast problems. Cutting the Gluten out for a month will start to improve your system after about 3 you can reintroduce it and see how your body reacts.

I know this is an old post but I wanted to add my thoughts just incase anyone else comes across this. I've had the same problem with Dr's misdiagnosing me so I don't have a solid name for what it is but I've found something that helps immensely! I have found that carbohydrates are definitely what causes the flare ups so I've gone down to no more than 30 carbs and I never experience flare ups if I stay under that. If I do have a few more I'll take D-mannose which takes away the pain and irritation usually within an hour. If I've had wayyyy too many carbs the D-mannose will help some but usually I have to give it a day of low carbs again before I'll be back to normal. I've never heard of this problem but at least I've found what works for me and hope it helps someone else!

I am experiencing the same thing.  Pain, burning, itching, general irritation all treated without success with antifungals.  Dropped to a very low carb, 20G carbs a day, and it cleared up.  Months later cycled back up to a higher carb diet of 50-70g of carbs and immediately flared back up with itching, irritation, burning on urination and ulcerations of the vulva.  Cut out the carbs, it resolves.  Very strange indeed.  
Hi... just wondering if you were ever able to found out what was causing your issue with carbs. I started the same issue back on jun of this year and am desperately seeking to figure out what is wrong. Doctors have tested for everything and found nothing. :( any advice you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sounds like you have a gluten or a wheat allergy. It's irritating you. Drink water do coffee enemas and take charcoal pils. Do a food elimination diet and see if u feel better.
