Candida Question #53 Can I Get Yeast Infection From Dirty Toilet?

Well, I don’t know how to answer that one. Your toilet would have to be pretty dirty and pretty grubby for you to get a yeast infection. I personally wouldn’t use toilets that were that unhygienic that I would be concerned. I would probably choose a better toilet or a cleaner toilet or perhaps use one of those paper things you can put on the toilet seat before you sit on the toilet.

So, it’s not really likely that you’re going to get a yeast infection from a dirty toilet. I would question why you would need to use a toilet that dirty for you to be concerned about getting an infection.

I don’t think I’d pay too much attention to this question really. Practice a bit more hygiene and if you do use a dirty toilet, maybe have a shower when you get home and clean up properly.

It is more likely that you’re going to get a yeast infection from a locker room or gym floor or having a shower in those sorts of areas where you can pick up a foot fungal infection, but not likely you’re going to pick up thrush or vaginal or genital yeast infections from a toilet seat. You wouldn’t want to be sitting on a toilet seat that you had any suspect issues about anyway.

I hope that answers your question.

Candida Question #52 Can I Pass Yeast Infection On To My Unborn Baby?

You can. Many children are born with varying types of conditions that the mother actually has. It’s not impossible to do that and caution needs to be taken. This is why it’s quite clever of you to try and clear any vaginal issues that you have in the second or third trimester, in particular, which will make it a lot easier for you.

Genital herpes is another concern that many doctors have of a woman passing an active herpes condition onto her baby if she has genital herpes. It is possible to pass this on to your unborn baby or I should say baby when it’s being born. If the baby’s still in utero, it’s not highly likely that the baby’s going to have a yeast infection from you. Although some people would argue that systemic infection can pass through the placenta into the child, but I’ve not really seen evidence of this.

Perhaps I didn’t’ answer that question properly, but when you give birth to a child and you have active vaginal thrush, there is a chance that you will pass it on. But if the baby’s in utero and has not been delivered yet, there’s probably a very slim risk of you passing that on because the baby’s in quite a safe environment.

So I do hope that answers your question. Thank you.

Candida Question #51 What Do I Do If I Am Pregnant And I Have A Yeast Infection?

It’s not uncommon to have a thrush or yeast infection when you are pregnant. It’s something that I do routinely see in women who are pregnant, looking at conception, or are breastfeeding.

So, when you are pregnant and you have a yeast infection, a clever thing for you to do is to start making some dietary changes. I would not recommend that you take any medical anti-fungals and be careful to take any natural anti-fungals. Some of these products can be quite strong and predispose you to increasing your risk of having issues, particularly in the first trimester. If you are pregnant, be very careful in the first trimester. As the pregnancy progresses, still be careful, of course, but there are many different options that you have got.

You can, for example, do some gentle douching or some cleansing there with some Calendula or some tea tree oil. I would advise caution there with any type of these protocols until you talk obviously with your health care practitioner. Obviously, no alcohol, no sugary foods, eating more garlic, having coconut oil, there are many different things you can do to help get on top of your yeast infection if you’re pregnant.

You can read a lot more about these in my book, Candida Crusher, particularly Chapter 5 would give you a lot of good information on how to get on top of your chronic vaginal yeast infection. Chapter 4 is really devoted to what I call the quick start guide which will give you a lot of quick ideas.

Don’t freak out too much. There are a lot of things you can do to relieve the itching or the discomfort. So there is plenty you can do there. Don’t get too concerned about it.
