Did you realize that food is often to blame for many of the infections that we are experiencing? This is especially the case whenever we are having a yeast infection but it is not necessarily the yeast that we are eating which is causing the problem. Yeast infections are caused by a certain type of Candida that is present in the environment all around us. It is also in our body, even when we are not experiencing an infection and it serves a useful purpose. When our body is in balance, that yeast is kept in check so we do not typically experience any problems.
If you have a problem with yeast infections, especially if they are recurring or even chronic, there are some foods that you should avoid at all costs. These foods don't necessarily cause a yeast infection to occur but they can keep it alive once it exists. Here are 4 different types of foods that should be avoided by those who have problems with yeast infections.
Sugar - One of the main things that should be avoided when you're having a problem with yeast infections is processed sugar. Yeast eats sugar so if you're feeding the yeast infection, you're going to have a difficult time getting rid of it. Even many of the foods that you should eat for yeast infections, such as yogurt, typically have a lot of sugar added. Make sure that you read the labels before you put anything in your mouth.
Processed Foods - Anything that is processed is not going to necessarily be good for your body. If you really want to get rid of a yeast infection that you are experiencing, you need to get back to the basics of eating, including plenty of raw fruits and vegetables.
Pasta - Even though many of us enjoy eating pasta regularly, you should avoid eating it whenever you are experiencing a yeast infection. Most of the pasta that we eat is made from refined flour and water. This refined flour can cause problems in our body, including feeding the yeast infection that we are experiencing.
Mushrooms - Even though not all of us eat mushrooms, it is certainly high up on the list of things that we should not be eating if we have a yeast infection. Make sure you avoid them and you will have better success with getting rid of the infection.

Hello! My husband have been TTC
since December .My last period was February 4, 2010. I have a 28 day
cycle. I have never missed a period and I have never been late for my
period. No matter how stressed out or nervous I am about something AF
still rears her ugly head every 28 days! Ugh! I hate mother nature.
Anyways, last month my husband and I tried. We had sex on all the days
we were supposed to, I took prenatal vitamins, I elevated my hips for 30
minutes after sex every time, we ate correctly, etc. No big deal or
anything. We cut caffeine out of our diet and started eating healthier
(not only to increase our chances but because we feel we need to make
some healthy changes to avoid heart disease and stuff). Well I had
cramping about a week after I was supposed to ovulate and about a week
and a half after I was supposed to ovulate I went to the bathroom and
when I wiped there was a clear pinkish bloody mucus in the toilet paper
and after that nothing. That was two days before I was supposed to start
my period. Thing is I didn't start my period. I am now currently 24
days late. About a week after my period was late I had a blood test done
and it came back negative. So I thought for sure I wasn't pregnant and
just had too high of hopes. But yesterday I took a test and there was a
faint line next to the control line (which I am thinking was an evap
line). I have had a lot of abdominal discomfort lately, along with light
cramping, and nausea in the mornings (which could be from my working
with breakfast foods but who knows). I have also had a weird sometimes
thick and sometimes thin white discharge (not a yeast infection and
definitely not a disease). However I have no signs of starting AF
either. If I am definitely not pregnant what else could possibly be
wrong with me? What should I do about this issue since I am TTC? Any
advice is welcome unless you are being unkind or criticizing me.I think
that if my period still doesn't show by April 4th I am going to go to
the doctor and get checked out. Thanks!
Again I am 24 days late for my AF.
Again I am 24 days late for my AF.

Hey! I've been
following your questions- but its been a while. I forget- did you use
OPKs and/or chart your temps? I'm wondering if you're having an
annovulatory cycle? At this point, since still no AF and no BFP, I would
return to the doctor since this is abnormal for you. GL!!!

- You need to go to the doctor and ask for a blood test. Something similar happened to me once, it turned out that I was pregnant but miscarried very early on. Good luck!

- I think you are pregnant.
I had a blood pregnancy test done, after I had already taken a home-pregnancy test and it showed up negative.
I knew I was pregnant though.
If a pregnancy test shows positive, even just a little bit you are usually pregnant.
