proudsub -> warning about sugar (8/6/2004 8:52:26 AM)

Here's a letter someone wrote to "Great Sexpectations" Newletter:


I just wanted to share something my doctor recently told me.
My boyfriend and I messed around, using chocolate sauce and
whipped cream a couple of weeks ago. He used it on me during
oral sex, and I ended up with a yeast infection. Turns out
that sugary substances can upset the PH balance of the vagina
or something and can cause yeast infections. Just wanted to
share the information...



MistressDREAD -> RE: warning about sugar (8/6/2004 10:44:18 AM)

this is a true fact and many foods
and other nonfood items can upset the ph levals
in personal areas that cause infections.
Good info proud............



subbiejenn -> RE: warning about sugar (8/7/2004 9:24:03 AM)

i didn't know this

something i guess i never thought about

thank Y/you for posting



SherriA -> RE: warning about sugar (8/7/2004 10:51:07 AM)

I'm wasn't aware that it had anything to do with upsetting the pH balance of the vagina. My understanding was that because yeast feed on sugar, providing them "food" in an area that they normally wouldn't find much, and an area that's not likely cleaned out completely, encourages growth.

Think about it...when you bake bread, you have to add sugar/honey/etc for the yeast to eat and multiply, otherwise they don't do anything. Why would it be any different outside a loaf of bread?



LadyShoshin -> RE: warning about sugar (8/7/2004 10:54:47 AM)

Good info proud. I think that anyone using food for play in the vaginal area should take a shower and douche immediately after, that will clean up whatever is still left behind & not give the bacteria/yeast anything to feed on

I do believe it is a combination of both

the sugar will change the pH balance, which is why a tespoon of sugar will (usually) cure hiccups - the hiccups being caused by the pH bring out of balance, usually on the acidosis side, and the sugar helps return the pH to balance - if the sugar dowsnt work, then you are out of balance on the alkaline side and a small glass of orange juice or lemonaid (something acidic) should do the trick

and the sugar will also provide food for any yeast cells that are present

just my 'dumb male' perspective



ShadeDiva -> RE: warning about sugar (8/11/2004 11:05:27 PM)

I believe I made such a warning in the playing with food thread hehehe.

Yeast reproduces when it has sugar to consume.

Even fruit has enough sugar to set it off.

As a female that has never had a yeast infection but hears they are horrid to have - I wouldn't want to risk it myself.

Maybe it's time to buy stock in the companies that make sugar free whip cream and chocolate sauce, with all the low carb dieters and now the kinksters needing them too.[;)]

I'm glad the post was useful for some here.



sub4hire -> RE: warning about sugar (8/16/2004 6:29:54 PM)

I've always heard that anything with cream in it as well you should not use. I have no info to back it up other than hearing it for many years.

The sex shops sell a version of whipped cream for sex. One would think it would be safe. Never tried it though.



wyldhearted -> RE: warning about sugar (8/17/2004 6:40:00 AM)

This topic makes me wince just to read it. I'm one of the unfortunate females that yeasts very easily. An antibiotic for any reason will create one every time. Too much soda, too much sugar ingested, not inserted will gift me with one also. The use of insertable toys most especially latex based is a given that one will develop.

Heavy use by fingers or hands will also leave me with a sigh of frustration knowing what will arrive on my said "doorstep" within about 48 hours.

Diflucan is a fact of life for me.

With a wince,

morgan



Jade4Wings -> RE: warning about sugar & a yogurt a day! (8/24/2004 9:39:03 AM)

I've been on an antibiotic for the last week and my doc also said to eat lots of yogurt while i was on it. The problem is i can't take the antibiotic within 3 hrs of eating dairy and i take it twice a day, so timing everything has been hard lol.



NoCalOwner -> RE: warning about sugar & a yogurt a day! (8/24/2004 2:52:25 PM)

Acidophilus bacteria (as found in yogurt) are very helpful with yeast and some other types of infections, and they produce lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide which are very damaging to a number of viruses, including HIV. Bacillis subtilis and lichenformis produce surfactin, which kills lipophilic viruses (HIV, HSV, CMV and many others), as well as a number of bacteria and yeasts (including candida). Bifidobacteria have their uses, too. Douching with a solution of live, unflavored yogurt, which contain various lactobacilli, is a traditional method of treating yeast infections and vaginitis,

For those who don't like the idea of yogurt (which was cultured to eat, not to insert) there are some products now available for the purpose, like these acidophilus suppository capsules, Fermalac:
http://www.birthcontrol.com/product_info.php?cPath=30&products_id=100
...or Gynatren:
http://www.natren.com/pages/vaginitis.asp

There are also interesting possibilities on the horizon for genetically modified lactobacilli, if the whole GM thing doesn't give you the creeps. For example: "Cyanovirin was originally isolated from blue-green algae; it binds very specifically to HIV gp120. Work on cyanovirin is now focussed on engineering lactobacilli to produce it, harmless bacteria which could live in the vagina and provide enhanced protection for long periods."

ModeratorOne -> RE: warning about sugar & a yogurt a day! (8/25/2004 8:21:50 AM)

I had a yeast problem for a while. I stopped eating all dairy, vinegar and nuts for a month and took oil of oregano daily. Within a couple of days I had die off symptoms and I have yet to have my problem return. I suspect I got it from antibiotics I was on so I have to be very careful with them.



kiki blue -> RE: warning about sugar & a yogurt a day! (8/26/2004 9:10:21 AM)

I've learnt the hard way, that if the doctor has to prescribe antibiotics for anything, to take some acidophilous once a day to combat the thrush that is sure to follow.



SingleRedRose -> RE: warning about sugar (8/26/2004 9:19:01 AM)

Hello,
I am kinda new here and was reading some of the forum topics. I would also like to add that while everyone should take care to exercise good personal hygiene, to much cleansing of the vaginal area can also cause yeast infections by washing away to much of the GOOD bacteria that our bodies need.



blueisis -> RE: warning about sugar (9/6/2004 6:07:09 PM)

ya, I got 3 yeast infections this year! I don't get them often. I would get it taken care of, have unprotected sex with master to which he would cum in me, and bam, it would be back with in 2 days.I guess that I may have a sensitive system. I do try to eat yogurt often, I heard how that can help you maintiain a healthy ph in the vagina.No more unprotected sex! Condoms are a must now.



theroebabe -> RE: warning about sugar (9/6/2004 6:21:56 PM)

Hi Blueisis,

If your dom or you have multiple partners then they may be the carrier and is transmitting it back and forth among his partners. Also make sure any toy you have used is cleaned with a bleach and water solution or those bleach wipes to kill off any germs that may reside on them. Also plain yogurt can be inserted into the vagina and will help the yeast infection. Roe

I never knew you could use sugar to cure hiccups. I'm going to have to write this down someplace for my once a year hiccup routine. Mine are so bad I end up with a sore throat afterwards. Thankfully they are only once a year.



Nvernilla -> RE: warning about sugar (10/3/2004 9:06:24 AM)

This is good info to remember but I wondered if it was known that in some ( but not all ) women, baby oil can cause a rather nasty infection too. Any oil that is petroleum based can. Tis cool though, olive oil tastes better anyway lol m-m-m-m Hmmm maybe its not the olive oil I was tasting.......
