    Yes I also got a yeast infection about 3 days after starting Alli. Haven't had one in about 10 years. Connection to Alli?

    Re: Any lady having trouble with yeast infection?

    Hi Ladies,

    This is one that I am not familiar with as a side effect of Alli. You will have to post it on the board for the pharmacist to find out if there is any connection.

    I can tell you that there are some reported dietary connections between getting and preventing yeast infections. The foods that are thought to increase the risk of a yeast infection are sugar, white flour (bread, rice, pasta), yeasty foods and beverages (dried fruits, canned or bottle juices, leavened breads, pretzels and some multivitamins), malt products, and alcohol. Following a diet filled with whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables is ideal to prevent yeast infections. It is also recommended that you eat a yogurt with lactobacillus acidophilus every day if you are prone to these infections. When you do have an infection you should speak with your physician about a treatment.

    Good luck,

    Betty Kovacs, MS, RD

    I was on Xenical a few years ago and I did have problems with yeast infections.  The TE are the cause of the infections because the "expelled fat"  tends to cause the moisture and dirtiness in that region.

    Could you be spotting?  I thought that I was getting a yeast infection.  I had a lot of irritation in the front and back.  This lasted about 3 days until I noticed that I was spotting just a little.  It lasted a few more days.  I guess that my body was cleaning its self?  Now I am back to normal.

     Hang in there!!

    I started to take Alli three days ago and now I am itching all over my private area. I am not sure if I have a yeast infection yet, since I don't have any discharge. But I will try over the counter yeast infection treatment to see if I will feel better. Heeeelp!!!

    Re: Any lady having trouble with yeast infection?

    Well as a man, I would make for an incredibly ugly lady and even Alli wouldn't help, but because a dear friend of mine has had cancer in which the treatments and steroids has almost killed him, I have an intimate interest in candida albicans.  I have spent at least a hundred hours studying this problem and call tell you that Betty is right on with her advise.  While I realize that  eight or so of you have the same problem, I would seriously doubt it would have a connection with Alli itself but more with perhaps the change in diet. 

    What Betty has said makes perfect sense.  You need to look at what you are mainly eating and try to determine if you are somehow eating an acid diet.  Acid foods, such as nearly anything white, cheeses, vigegars, sugars, etc., feed candida.  So try to look at the alkaline foods that you can eat, and that you like, and try to do some substituting.  And the suggestion to try to use a pro-biotic such as is in fresh yogurt, really is super.  And yogurt is so good for you women's bones as it is the best source of dietary calcium that I know of and far better than milk or most supplements.  My recipe for eating homemade, inexpensive yogurt is in the snack section of the messages.  I kid you not.  I eat a gallon of it a week and cannot get enough.  I eat it with low sugar jams.

    I too am a little curious as to why the problem, since most foods that are considered healthy are far from the white foods, but bear in mind that there are many acid foods that are not white.  I doubt if anything I have said helps but at least for most of us (men included) candida is easy and fairly inexpensive to knock out.  Good luck everyone.  Jim

    Robbie, substituting Splenda for sugar allows you to pig out like I do on most sweets but of course I had to give up Twinkies, etc, which are processed poison, in my estimation.  And if you have a problem with Splenda, rest assured that if you just slowing use a combination of sugar and Splenda you will gradually find the bad taste thing is a figment out our imagination.  Now I and my new wife cannot stand the taste of sugar and swear it leaves a bad taste.  Of course, I risk finding out that Splenda may end up being the cause of heart worms or something but since it is made from sugar, I doubt it.  Jim
