I'm a bit slack now but I do know that it helps so much.There are a number of tests that you can do, which may indicate if you have a yeast infection. It's my understanding that none of these tests are 100% reliable. The basic thing is knowing your body. Yeast overgrowth can occur in a number of areas. Most commonly for women it is 'down below' and can itch like mad. Not fun!!! It can also present on the tongue, where your tongue has white bumps all over or in patches. Also not fun!!! It can also be internal but this is harder to detect, as it can't be seen. Can sure be felt though! Can you guess that I've had the lot from too many anti-biotics?! Urgh!Having yeast infections can really muck your body about. I could go on and on about this but I haven't the energy tonight (sorry). It's a bit late here now but will endeavour to add more over the next few days.Today was beautiful and sunny, so I spent the day outdoors. The rest of the week has a forecast of rain, wind and general inside weather. Great for my garden but means I will most likely spend more time on the computer.Jen (not the Jen who got married on the weekend)[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]-- Rosacea Support Group: http://rosacea-support.orgRosacea Support Resource Pages: http://rosacea-research.org/wikiNEW!: Rosacea Support Group Forum: http://rosacea-support.org/forumYahoo!
