I have just gotten over an extreme yeast problem.  Constant vaginal
infections, stomach problems, the works, except any symptoms of thrush, go
figure.  (yes, still nursing 5yo)  I notice that while my symptoms are the
worse that I smell very garlicky.  I had my neighbor also tell me the same
thing about her yeast condition.  Has anyone else ever heard this before?
I have often had bouts of vaginal yeast and my babies (4) have often gotten
yeast as well, but I have never had the symptoms in my nipples for some
reason.
