Nothing seems to be helping for Peni...

Hi,
About a year ago I noticed some whiteness on my penis under the glans. It was rather small and insignificant so I didn't really do anything about it. However, later on it spread rapidly. I went to the doctor and he said I had a yeast infection and told me to take some monistat and it should clear up within ten days. I took the monistat and thought it was improving but I guess it stopped working. I've constantly put anti-fungal creams down there but none have seemed to help. Besides the white discharge there is also redness on top of penis around the external urethral orifice which sometimes burns. So I went to another doctor last week and he prescribed me 7 150 mg diflucan pills and told me to take one every 2 days. However, I have not noticed any improvement at all. So now I know what I have, Balanitis caused by yeast infection. However, I have no idea what to do from this point on, none of the treatments have been effective. I know at some point I'll probably need to get circumcised if nothing works. Are there any treatments beyond the diflucan and anti-fungals? I've tried yogurt and it has helped somewhat. I plan on going to a dermatologist but I just wish there was something I could do about it now.

Rubbing a clay on it might help. Diamateceous earth works great for rashes/itching for me.(Food grade by earthworks)

This is a reply to # 1,876,942Have you tried apple cider vinegar? It will probably be painful and burn like a mother, but it completely cleared up my stinging, burning rosacea on my face (which I suspect was yeast/fungus).

This is a reply to # 1,876,942The fact that yogurt helped "somewhat" is a clue as far as what you need to do to cure the yeast problem.
But first, you need to stop eating all Sugar products including soda drinks and chewing gum, cut out all starches including potatoes, rice, and pasta. Remove all carbohydrates and wheat products such as cereals, pies, cakes and breads, and don't eat any fruit or fruit juice.
Eat only green vegetables lightly steamed of eaten raw such as salads.
Drink only pure water and lemon water for liquids.
Instead of using regular table salt which probably contains unnatural additives and/or Dextrose, purchase natural Himalayan Sea Salt .
Eat only green vegetables lightly steamed or eaten raw such as in salads. You can also eat avocados as this is a food for the beneficial bacteria in the intestines which will be a huge necessity in healing the infestation.
For protein, concentrate on organic eggs cooked anyway you want them. Stop eating red meat and pork all together. You can eat baked or broiled fish and chicken without breading two or three times a week, but make the eggs your main source of protein.
Once you have the diet established, purchase either the grains or a starter kit for making kefir. You should also purchase a good high strain and high count probiotic such as MegaFlora made by MegaFoods.
You can also make and eat bread while on the diet.
Organic Coconut Flour Bread Recipe
(acceptable on the Candida diet)
9 organic eggs
1/2 cup olive oil or olive oil and ghee mixed
3/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
1 1/2 Teaspoon baking powder
1 cup and 3 oz cup coconut flour
Directions
Mix all ingredients together, kneading with hands until firm, then place into an oiled glass loaf pan. Press down on the loaf making it firm in the baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for about 47- 48 minutes and test with a toothpick.
Idea: Cut a slice of the bread and brush it with olive oil then sprinkle with mixed herbs such as oregano, Sea Salt , basil, garlic and/or paprika. Perfect Pinch® Basil & Garlic Seasoning by McCormick is perfect for this. Place the slice in a toaster oven or regular oven and toast until crispy.

This is a reply to # 1,877,114I agree with all of your diet recommendations except for saying to eliminate all carbohydrates. Remember that every single person is different and we can't prescribe one specific diet or one type of cleanse that works for everyone. I was following a basically zero-carb diet for a long time being very strict eating a ton of organic vegetables and it basically made me worse, decreased my energy and did nothing towards getting me on the road to real health. It was not until I added a good amount of complex carbohydrates into my diet that my body became strong and balanced again. Within a few weeks my energy increased so much that my immune system started to naturally be able to keep the candida back in check. It has been two years now (eating good amount of carbs the whole time) and my body is still able to keep the candida at bay, my energy levels are great and I feel great.
My thoughts on low-carb, zero-carb diet (as recommended in your post) are that for SOME people this may be a good diet to follow. For SOME people it may be a good diet to follow as a body cleanse, i.e. only for a certain duration 1-2 months and then slowly start to add in carbohydrates (I believe I am this type of person, because it did make me feel better for a bit, but after following it too long I lost my energy and health completely). And for others this diet will be straight detrimental and they will receive no benefit. I have read many posts where people say they completely cured their candida by eliminating carbs, but I have read just as many that said that they felt complex carbs was an essential part of their cure.
Please let's just remember that we are all different. When we are giving general diet recommendations, we should stick to the recommendations listed by curezone on the candida page not just what has worked for you. I just looked at it again and nowhere on there does it say anything about eliminating carbohydrates.- Re: Nothing seems to be helping for ... jameskep37

Agree. One diet that will work for others might not work for another individual. There is just too many factors involved....Flora makeup, digestive capabilties, liver issues, Fructose malabsorbtion, difficulty digesting heavy fats, harmful protein metabolites( ammonia, sulphides) etc...
Seems like extreme diets only work for a short period of time then after that seem to do more harm than good. I did high protein diet and after a while my ammonia/ maybe sulphide? levels were gettin too high and it was irritating my Gi tract+kidneys.

This is a reply to # 1,876,942What about trying something like soaking it regularly in anti-fungals like Colloidal Silver or grapefruit seed extract or hydrogen peroxide, or a combination of them?

That may work on a temporary relief basis, but none of those will bring about a complete cure.
