I propose that this residual inflammation can be due to yeasts remaining in vulvar and vaginal tissues. [u]

I REALLY THINK THIS COULD BE A POSSIBLE CAUSE YET NO CONSULTANTS (GYNAE DERMS ETC) IN THE UK WILL SUPPORT ME IN THIS. YET ONE ALLERGIST WILL.

GUYS ITS WORTH A TRY, ITS A TEN STEP PROGRAMME AND MARJORIE IS V SUPPORTIVE. I CANT COPY YOU HER PROGRAMME AS ITS A HUGE DOCUMENT AND I WOULD ALSO GET DONE FOR COPYRIGHT STUFF BUT IF YOU WANT A COPY YOU CAN GET IT OFF HER WEBSITE XXXXX

I ran across this website a couple of months ago and it's the only thing that seems to make sense. Her description of the "red" form of candida matches my symptoms almost completely, plus it accounts for the fact that many of us test negative for yeast infections (or that anti-fungals are not effective). Has anybody had any experience with this program?

yeh i have contact with marjorie, shes a lovely lady!

I have had to go down the NHS (national health service) in the UK as the NHS do not support this theory or have never even heard of it...obviously didnt cover that 30minutes on vulvodynia in their lectures at medical school

I started a month ago on the candida diet so have cut lots of foods out (mainly the crappy, chemical/processed crap) and have lost weight (weight that i put on comfort eating from this). I havent got back onto the 10 step programme that Marjorie recommends as another doctor I have met is reading it at the moment still, im hoping she will prescribe me the antifungals etc.

Her pack is def recommended!! My Dad has bought about 4 copies and given it to various professionals....2 of which I know will use it as a door stop but hey hoe!

I'll copy my story to tell you how I got into this V mess xxx

The theory makes a lot sense to me, I was mystified when my doctor told me my problem wasn't thrush when I had exactly the same symptoms I always get from thrush. Also, drinking cinnamon tea (antibacterial/antifungal) helps my symptoms a lot, this wouldn't make any sense unless there was some kind of infection.
