Answer by Martina T
Some foods, especially acidic foods, interfere with the absorption of oral medications. Grapefruit especially alters the uptake of many drugs. If you’re not taking oral meds though the only thing I can think of is that they would like you to have a lower glucose level to help get rid of the candida (it feeds on glucose in the vag secretions). I wouldn’t worry about it too much; however, eating yogurt with live cultures will help repopulate your gut with beneficial bacteria. Gross as it may sound, a little PLAIN yogurt with live cultures applied directly to the area in question (possibly at bedtime, then showered off in the morning) will help to get your vaginal flora back in balance as well.

Question by diggerm82: whats the diffrence between candida and jock itch if any?
If you’re a male and have it in the groin area, what do you use that works over the counter or home remedies? Yes, I have gone to the doctor for it last summer. I only get it in the summer hence I live in Arizona where we live in 110 temps and we sweat a lot.

Candidiasis is caused by Candida albicans, a fungal disease more common in females (they proliferate when the vaginal acidity is very low) and jock itch is caused by Trychophyton mentagrophytes that can usually be found in soil/moist things. Just keep the area clean and dry.

Answer by KB
A yeast infection has a white discharge, not white spots. Warts are going to be present on the skin on and around your vulva, and they may not be obvious to you. A yeast infection is internal, with a white discharge, and sometimes itching or burning in your vagina, and around your labia. They are two completely different problems with different symptoms. It can also be likely that you don’t feel or see warts.

What is the difference between a yeast infection and vaginal discharge?
Question by Alicia: What is the difference between a yeast infection and vaginal discharge?
I think that I may have a yeast infection. What I want to know is this, is Monistat a safe treatment for a yeast infection? I haven’t gone to a doctor to get it verified and don’t plan on it but I want to make sure it’s safe before I start using it. Also, if this is just regular vaginal discharge, will using Monistat bring up any side affects?

Answer by Miss Curiosity
Vaginal discharge is supposed to happen…it’s your body’s way of keeping your goods clean. A yeast infection should have a foul odor and the discharge should be yellowish or of some color and will probably clump together.
I doubt you would have any trouble with Monistat if you don’t have an infection, but you may want to try one of those home tests for yeast infections that they have out now. There is no point in treating yourself for a yeast infection if you don’t have one.
