- Questions & Answers (17:32)
- Leah - when I eat fermented foods, I get the feeling I am developing a yeast infection. Any suggestions?
- Stacy thinks there might be an imbalance in the gut, and recommends looking into a diet to reset the bacteria in the gut
- Sarah notes that studies show that probiotics can help fight candida
- Candida likes high estrogen, high blood sugar, and high stress environments
- The strains in fermented foods are known to help control candida growth
- Facts about vaginitis (also known as a yeast infection)
- Candida causes yeast infections about half of the time
- Other culprits are bacterial infections, irritants, and allergies
- So a yeast infection could also be caused by a food allergy
- Sarah recommends getting tested for yeast sensitivities/allergies - these are common food sensitivities
- There are a number of yeast free diets that you can utilize
- Vaginitis can also be linked to STD's, so it is worth getting tested
- Stacy notes that menstruation products (or even condoms) can also cause irritations that are seen in the form of vaginitis
- Be aware of what is your "normal" for symptoms that you experience around your monthly cycle, when consuming foods you are sensitive too, etc.
- Jennie - why do I poop more, and experience gas, during my period?
- Period poops are a real thing - the Buzzfeed article Stacy refers to
- The situation is impacted by two things
- First, you are probably eating less healthy food than you usually do as you are dealing with hormonal influenced cravings
- And second, the hormone progesterone peeks during your period, which actually has an effect on how things move through your intestines
- The high shift between progesterone and estrogen turning back on greatly impacts your bowels
- The role prostaglandins play
- Leah - when I eat fermented foods, I get the feeling I am developing a yeast infection. Any suggestions?
- Major props to Buzzfeed!
- A special thank you to Stacy for her willingness to talk about poop!
- And a thank you to the listeners - don't forget to leave those reviews here please!
- Stacy wished Sarah happy travels for her spring break vacation with her family
