For the ladies, a health related question...
IBefore surgery, I had never had a yeast infections in my life. Since surgery, I have had many. It is so weird. Do you think it is related in some way? Somone on the main board was talking about "systemic yeast overgrowth" and being the hypochondriach I am, now I'm worried. Has anyone had trouble this way?
One thought I had is that I am running a lot and do sweat in that area, but I always have a shower the minute I get home. I only recently had 20 days of antibiotics, so no long term use here.
I'm a tad worried.

Hey Ruby, I've used acidophilus pills after antibiotics aswell... did you use them right after WLS? Did you pop the capsules open and add them to a shake? I don't think I could swallow one of those immediately after WLS...?

In my opinion, you would do well to go to your family physician and request a test for Candida infection.
It CAN be systemic, and it CAN enter the bloodstream via an IV or a catheter.
It is extremely uncommon, but it CAN happen.

Testing for Candida is quite easy, and it is usually quite treatable.
Be aware, it seems to be a favourite topic among the New Age amateur physicians online, so don't get led astray by miraculous cures and dubious homemade tests.

20 days would do it. For me 3 days is long enough. Speak with your GP. Probiotics works well to reset your system, The antibiotics get rid of the good bacteria too which allows the yeast to overgrow. It is always in our system. changes in hormones too can cause the infections too,
