Does anyone else have this problem? For me, it seemed to start around the same time I started having pudendal nerve symptoms.

Did your doctor prescribe you anything like an antibiotic to kill the bacteria? I was thinking there are some treatments that can kill the bacteria in your stomach although it also kills the good bacteria. As a result you have to replenish the good bacteria in your stomach after the treatment.

Hi Rachel. Thanks for the response. Yes, my doctor prescribed Flagyl to kill the bad bacteria. So we will see what happens. Fingers crossed because this has been so hard to deal with on top of everything else.

I too have a problem with gastro bacterial issues, I take Losec daily to counteract the effects of anti inflammatory meds...but now that I no longer take them and only take other meds I have a big problem with what seems like a bacterial overgrowth. I take daily many supplements like Magnesium, Zinc and Vitamins ACand E...along with probiotics but yet the "yeasty" symptoms remain. Lately I have taken to a herbal remedy which seems to help, however my intake of food has been drastically changed to suit my acid responses...!!!

Just a thought - nothing to do with bacterial overgrowth, sorry for going off topic - but for 'yeasty' issues, coconut oil is excellent. It is high in caprylic acid which has a very strong anti-fungal action. We buy it in a tub from Holland & Barrett and use it for cooking.
