Warning about using yogurt

I know a lot of people think yogurt will help them. But the problem with most commercial yogurts is that they are filled with Sugar (that's what makes them taste good). Dan Active is no less guilty. The thing is, people like us, who get reoccurent BV and yeast infections ultimately have a bigger problem and that is a gut flora imbalance. Trust me, I know of what I speak. Usually I haunt the Candida Support thread, as I have been dealing with this nightmare for 13 years. I can't tell you how sick I have been, as my candida is systemic and thus affects my whole body. But I know what you mean. For once, I would love to enjoy the act of making love to my husband. It doesn't help that I am also 42 and am trying to get pg. Sex is very painful and unpleasant for me and this is horrible to me, as I used to love sex before I got sick.

Now, I just ordered and received yesterday, the probiotic LB17 which I have heard nothing but phenomenal things about. Richard, who is sort of the guru for the product is awesome and he will answer any questions you have about the product. What thing I read from Dr. Jeff's site on here and I believe to be true is, you need to kill off a lot of the yeast/fungus first before introducing the probiotics back in. If you just start taking the probiotics in a body filled with bad bacterial that has taken over everything, the good bacteria won't have a chance. I did Dr. Jeff's program for two months and now will bombard it will the the LB17. I also plan on adding in Osumex's (people who make LB17) fortified Husks, as it helps the immune system get better faster. I will keep you updated on how I feel.

As usual, I have a rager of BV right now. Went to the doc and he gave me Flagyl but I cannot tolerate it. One does and my heart was racing, felt like I was having an anxiety attack, jittery, etc. What these doctors don't understand is that giving people like us antiobiotics is only adding fuel to the fire and I told him straight out that I have systemic candida. Argh! They just don't listen!
