Laura Lehrhaupt: Unlocking the Mysteries of Vulvodynia and Candida
So things went well for another 6 months as I slowly added back some of my favorite "weak acid" foods. Then only a month and a half ago, I over-indulged at my daughters sweet 16 party. After being yeast free for 2 years, I developed a yeast infection. My body could not handle the sugar. I was so scared the vulvodynia would return. But it hasn't. In fact, this recent yeast was just another clue. I have since learned that the yeast or candida depletes the body of these minerals and cause a whole host of other health issues including migraine headaches and acid reflux. So I am no longer battling vulvodynia. I am battling a bigger monster...candida. The underlying cause for this whole mess. My poor diet, stress level, multiple childbirths, and long term use of antibiotics had weakened my immune system. In my weakened state, the flora of my intestestines was disturbed and I had developed systemic candida. I had to heal the vulvodynia first before battling the yeast. I am convinced of that point. There is no way my body could have handled the strong supplements I take to heal.
There is no magic pill or sugery. Just a strong desire to heal my body. I was extremely disciplined. That is how I was healed.
