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.
