boric acid made yeast infection turn into something else?

Approximately 4 mos ago I started taking a prescription diet pill called Bontril prescribed by my Dr.  It was suppose to be less harmful than Phentramine.  About 2 weeks into taking them I started feeling uncomfortable and had a clear discharge but not alot.  I suspected it was like when you take antibiotics so I stopped taking them right away.  Since then I have had problems and have a yeast infection to this day.  I have been to my Gynecologist twice and have tried two differnt treatments and it still has not knocked out the problem.  I was also treated for BV and there is no change.  This last visit she suggested Boric Acid because it has a broader spectrum to kill many kinds of yeast.  I never knew what a nightmare a yeast infection can be and just can't believe it wont go away.  Hopefully it will work...

You need to go to another doctor. I had chronic yeast infections and my OBGYN tested my vitamin d levels. I found out it was very low. I was placed on prescription vitamin d to raise to its normal level. Vitamin d is needed to fight infections. Now I take as a daily supplement. I don't have yeast infections any more after yearssss of suffering from it.

You mentioned Alcohol makes it worse - have you considered an iron deficiency? I noticed the same thing and started researching on why. Taking an iron supplement + staying hydrated with water, paired with random borax treatments have fixed my problems all together. (i actually make my own by buying empty pill capsules and borax (20 mule team) and insert them intravaginally. Hope this helps.

Try douching with vineger and water . You can buy the douch at walgreens or make your own.

Hi Amilie, I had chronic yeast infections, everything you mention in this post. I'm just learning about boric acid, and have started taking it internally. 1 tsp, dissolved in 1 quart of chlorine free water - The you take 1 teaspoon of this every day.
About the yeast problem, I did go to a doctor who prescribed Nizoral, I took for for a couple of weeks and for 20 years now I've been yeast infection free - so, It''s been great for me.

A long time ago I had chronic yeast infections, everything you mention in this post.  I did go to a doctor who prescribed Nizoral, I took it for for a couple of weeks and for 20 years now I've been yeast infection free - so, it worked very well for me.  

Please let me know how the oregano oil works!

I hope everyone who reads these posts (and posts in general) does more research about what is suggested before they go out and try because it may do much harm.

HI, your problems are probably over by this time, but I had chronic yeast infections as I was growing up. I finally found a doctor who listened to me and did some research on the subject. Yes, he admitted to me he didn't really know what to do until he started looking into the subject. He prescribed Nizoral, a strong dose, for probably a month - that was 30 years ago (time flies but it seems like yesterday to me). It worked. A couple of time in the last 30 years I thought I was getting another episode, but over-the-counter medicine did the trick. I hope this helps somebody - for me, a life without those chronic yeast infections has been a God-send. Sue Haveman living now in the Dominican Republic

I had a boyfriend that I saw infrequently. No problems until I got a yeast infection, which I treated. I told him. He ran to the doctor, came back and told me he did not have a yeast infection. (duh) Again I got a yeast infection because of him. Soooo, think, think, thinking. I got some otc ph test strips from the pharmacy. He was off the charts on sugar in his urine. Yup, he now had diabetes.

I ran across a doctor in LA who sells and recommended using an advanced form of colloidal silver. I bought a 16 oz bottle and looked for treatment methods and discovered lots of success stories using colloidal silver internally inside the vagina and taken orally. Treatment includes replenishing healthy bacteria in the system so I'm researching that now to discover a protocol. I began treatment last night and feel so much better today after about four weeks of irritations. My boyfriend and I delayed having intercourse during these past few weeks but we included more cuddling and some safe stimulation. It felt good to play.
I rarely eat meat, but do have a thing for cheese, cream occasionally, and dairy in hot drinks... Oh, and Indian food w cream sauces always tempts me! I've cut way back tho since dairy used to be about 50% of my diet. I'm also using an app to encourage me to drink lots of water daily, lol!
The colloidal silver protocols are easy to find on Google. I am a person who has had bv and chronic yeast conditions- the colloidal silver treatment was news to me and I can't tell you how much better I already feel after only one use last night!
Check out info on using iodine also since it has been removed from our diets yet prevents us from most sickness and some forms supply us w trace and regular minerals-without the presence of even one mineral, we suffer vast numbers of health challenges.
Dr. Nathan Rabb in LA advised the use of silver and Dr Gordon Pedersen gives great info on the web for actual protocols. Usually only a few days is needed of treatment. But best to know the specifics to your concerns. May we all thrive in health!!!

has you doctor ruled out Vaginal sclerosis?

This is untrue. BV can easily be cured by soaking in a bath with 1-2 cups of raw unpasteurized apple cider vinegar for about 20 minutes. A few sessions clears this right away.

I've had yeast infections on and off most of my life. I cut down drastically on sugar in my diet, eat plain yogurt every day (good with kashi), and I use boric acid suppositories occasionally as needed, 1-3 days as soon as I notice itching or discharge. This has worked better for me than anything OTC or Rx. I would not take boric acid orally though. It can poison you. I got a Rx for the capsules from a midwife, and a compounding pharmacy makes them. Usually these are the old fashioned ones, not big chains.
