Post Yeast & MG
I did a simple search and found a connection between chronic yeast infections and immune disorders such as MG. I wish I had followed through with my doctors suggestion years ago and change my diet completely.

Here is an example of what I have found (so many web sites on this subject!):
http://www.womentowomen.com/digestio...h/candida.aspx

I am going to slowly change my diet to avoid some of these foods that feed the yeast, maybe it will help.

Is it possible that a chronic yeast infection can cause MG?

DesertFlower, my allergist, Dr. William G. Crook, was one of THE pioneers in the Candida Albicans movement -- wrote SEVERAL popular books. I've been undergoing treatment off and on since the 70's. I still take Nystatin when I feel like I have a problem -- AND go back on a strict diet for a time. There "might" be a connection -- but, if there IS, I really should NOT have gotten MG -- UNLESS I already HAD MG in the 70's -- and we didn't know it -- and it was somehow under control until I started going through menopause.

Here is a link to my doc's site -- he is now dead (2002), but his family keeps things running. http://www.yeastconnection.com/
