I have had vaginal yeast infections for 2 years, on and off of diflucan for 6-month periods of time and it hasn't worked. So this week I decided to finally attempt the candida diet. I'm serious about it this time and I want to do everything right so that I can get rid of the yeast for good. The problem I'm having now is with my sex life. The yeast infections themselves have obviously affected my sex life with my boyfriend for 2 years, but now that I'm trying so hard to stop the yeast, I think I am scared to have sex again. It's starting to affect our relationship because obviously sex is important but I'm so scared that I'll get another infection that I'm (subconsciously?) trying to avoid him now. Anyone have similar experiences or advice for how to avoid infections after sex to help me relax about the situation? Or should I really not be having sex while on the diet? If that is the case, the diet is supposed to last 1 year and then continue eating consciously for the rest of your life, so if I am not supposed to have sex while on the diet, how long exactly until the risk is gone? I've read that saliva can be the cause of yeast infections, anyone have evidence of this? How do you avoid using saliva during sex? Are there any safe types of lube? I've heard that some types that contain spermicide can kill good bacteria, causing yeast infections. Sorry lots of questions, I guess I'm just so nervous and wish I had more answers! Thanks!
