Re: acidic vagina
I have this when I'm pregnant. My poor husband. It has happened when I'm not pregnant, but it is much more so then.
Getting both of you treated for yeast is a good idea. It is the one thing that really helped this situation.
Things I added to our diet that have decreased the problem listed below. I'm gonna second the previous poster on the husband's problem too. Not something I'd normally talk about, but he's gone from being like acid (god forbid it ended up on my skin!) to much nicer since I've added these to his food.
Coconut Oil - put it in everything, spag sauce, bbq, eggs, chicken etc.
Extra-Virgin Olive-Oil - Yes, it is more expensive but worth it.
Turmeric, Cumin, and/or Curry - Same list as above to avoid the "ethnic" flavour he isn't fond of. I love curry.
Active Culture Yogurt - I make sure his favourite is in the fridge all the time.
Grapefruit Seed Extract to any sauces/stews. He thought he was getting food poisoning for a while, but I knew that the yeast infection was fighting back.
He's much better now, and since *I* wasn't getting sick he couldn't claim it was my cooking that was giving him food poisoning.
Hemp Seed / Hemp Seed Flour - Add it after the cooking is done, or on cold salads, etc. I live in the Canadian prairie, and it is easier to get hemp here.
Tenderize meat with Bromelain - the pineapple enzyme. Mine doesn't eat pineapple.
I've bullied him into less sugar. Don't get me wrong, the guy still drinks a double of Sugar in his coffee, a coke, and usually something else sugary every day. This however seems like an achievement to what he used to eat.
My treatment for the vaginal yeast infection - not for the faint of heart.
I've used collodial silver topically as a douche when I had a VERY stubborn infection, and before having sex for a week. It is an antibotic and not something I'd recommend to everyone all the time. However, this followed by Threelac inserted (and eaten) for a couple of days was the thing that finally stopped me from peeling all the skin off my husband for having sex with me. And, since I did it before sex it seemed to clear him from spreading it back to me.
I'm gonna tell you straight out that NO ONE will recommend that to you. And if you aren't dealing with the underlying "systemic" candida problem through diet prior to trying that, it will only be a temporary fix.
Since I had been tweaking our diet for about a year before doing this, I since haven't had a reoccurence.
