CANDIDA

a few months ago I was diagnosed as having 'candida'. actually it was fairly obvious I had it since I was born cos my mum has it and its hereditory, and my symptoms are like a text book case!
So, candida is like an overgrowth of a bacteria in the stomach, and when you get too much of it you get really ill. Thats exactly what happened to me, and consequently I've had to completely cut sugar and yeast from my diet. NOT GOOD! <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/frown.gif">
The thing is, when you're on the diet (and it's likely to last a good few years before u can start eating normally again) you can't take the pill. Apparently it fucks up your hormone levels or something. So anyway, I'm stuck here with candida, and it seems that all types of contraception apart from condoms aren't allowed, including injections and everything.
...GEEZ! Does anyone else have candida?

0 ·Infections are not hereditary - genetic conditions are. Yes, babies can be infected by bacteria when they are being born, but that does not mean it's a hereditary condition.
We do have some information about candida infections here: http://www.thesite.org/sex/sexual_health/thrush.html
