High acid level's causing vaginal burning

Hi, I was searching the internet and came across this story of a lady who had vaginal burning she described her pain as feeling like acid being on her skin down there as a constant feeling especially after urinating and she said she would get heartburn all the time so she thought that it might be high acid levels.So she went to a dermatologist and the dr. said they should do acid level test and sure enough she had high acid levels .I felt like she was describing my symptom's of feeling like acid is being pored on my skin I feel like I might have high acid to I get heartburn quite often to.If there anyone who has had high acid levels reading this and is now cured or at least your symptoms have let up some please would you let me know what has worked for you .

I have chronic gastritis but it arrived a few years after the V so not sure it's connected with me.

That is what mine feels like! Right now it's hard to cope with. How do you test acid levels? My blood and urine is fine (except a bit iron deficient but I take supplements & Fybogel)

If you're referring to low-oxalate diet, my gyno strongly opposed the idea when I asked him that I wanted to support my current treatment with low-oxalate diet.
He said that the recent researches stated that the amount of oxalate crystals in urine of women who suffer from V are the same as the healthy women.
As to his opinion, this's a multi-disciplinary condition. It can be caused by sensitive nerve endings or pelvic floor disorder or hormonal imbalance. There's no certain and proved reason for this condition for now so, the treatment's supposed to be combo.

That's good as i can't be assed with a diet right now !

I tend to have a lot of issues with acidic stomach pains. Sometimes it feels like my stomach is on fire, or someone dumped battery acid down my throat. I have noticed a connection between these flare ups and my v pain, which is burning at the entrance. Not only do I have these problems, but I notice I have an acidic smell in general (sorry, it's gross), to my sweat. I'm beginning to believe these are connected in some way, but I'm not sure what's causing it or what to do. Sparkling water and Zantac help my stomach but I'm not sure about the v pain. Once it flares it's tough to control

cupcake25 have you ever tried drinking kefir? If you drink natural kefir every day, it'll definitely sooth and balance your stomach.

Hi burning! Thank you for the suggestion. I've never tried kefir. It's a dairy product, right? Unfortunately I am lactose intolerant

Hi cupcake, I'm sorry for you
Kefir is a yoghurt like product and it's very rich in terms of probiotics. It cures candida and it's also recommended for patients suffering from reflux.
Maybe you can find lactose free kefir. I hope you'll get better asap.

Well it makes sense to me because our mucous membranes are all connected. I found this study very promising, so i am going to try the Sea Buckthorn oil. Can't hurt.

I suffer from severe indigestion/reflux too. Nowhere near as bad since I got onto a product by a company called Bioceuticals, "Intestamine". It contains Slippery Elm which is great for stomach issues and helping repair the lining of the stomach caused by indigestion issues. That accompanied with Metagenics "Gastro-Aid" capsules, made such a big difference.

I have occasionally had heartburn and an unpleasant sour taste in my mouth, i wonder if this could be acid reflux ?? and if that could connect to the vaginal burning... do you know how i could ask for an acid test at the docs? Im in UK
