Q&A: Can eating sugar produce a smell from a yeast infection?

Question by NYC123: Can eating sugar produce a smell from a yeast infection?
I have a bad yeast infection, which has caused a kind of sour smell. I know that sugar feeds yeast infections and I have been trying to stay away from it, but I have had sugar and carbs while treating it. By eating these things, could the smell actually become worse//stronger? And when the yeast infection clears there shouldnt be a smell when I eat sugar right?

It would be best to try to avoid sugar and carbohydrates in general while having a yeast infection because it can make it harder to cure. It isn’t just sugar, but flour, pasta, rice, white bread, any high glycemic carbohydrate that feeds yeast. The smell is worse because the infection is worse. Once the yeast infection is completely gone, it should not bother you to eat sugar.

good luck..
