Hi Natasha,
Yes, that does make sense.
By MD, I meant medical doctor. They can prescribe antifungals like
Diflucan (fluconazole). Naturopaths use herbs like garlic, Pau d'Arco
and quite a few others. Postive as most reports from endo sufferers who
take them are, antifungals (including the herbs in sufficient doses) can
have uncomfortable side effects and uncomfortable effects if the yeast
die off too quickly overwhelming your system. This is why it's
important to identify what kind of yeast you are dealing with and only
use the necessary antifungals. There are also anti-canidia diets that
are supposed to help (no sugar, sweeets, simple carbs etc...doesn't
sound like much fun to me).
I would be very interested to hear how you feel if you go this route.
