if you clear up candida, you will clear up endometriosis. Does anyone have experience with this?

I have endometriosis and I have never had a yeast infection but to my knowledge one has nothing to do with the other. When I found out I had endometriosis it was after waking up from a tubal ligation reversal. My periods were getting heavier and more uncomfortable and I had no idea why. In any case, that surgery was in April 2008 and I have still never had a yeast infection. Endometriosis is from your body not shedding everything properly when you get your period. Yeast infections are from an overgrowth of yeast in your body. Though I would say that even if it has no effect on endometriosis it is better to get rid of yeast infections and keep them from coming back if possible. The best thing to do would be to eat yogurts like Activia every day and take some form of acidophilus too (I take fem-dophilus, which works great to keep both yeast infections and bacterial infections away).
