First the good news: I've been able to add applesauce back to my diet. About 1/2 cup every few days. I even had a small bit of blended (frozen) blueberries. yum.

Now... the problem: it seems as if since I started eating the applesauce again I'm having some symptoms as though I have a low grade vaginal yeast infection. Is this a genuine possible link? Could that small amount of sugar in my diet really make that much difference? OR is this just part of what my body does. for about 4 months prior to my big flare up last Feb. I experienced ongoing symptoms of varying degrees in the same area.  
Of course, then I was eating caramel ice cream nearly every day... so I could kinda see the problem there- I was also still able to eat oat-cookies and some other treats.  

Any thoughts? Other new thing is that I've slowly been increasing singulair. Up to nearly 3/4 of a 10mg tablet but I can't imagine that having any bearing on that issue.

Thank you in advance!
Kelley

Hi Kelley,

I don't notice anything like that when I eat sugar, but we are all different. Do you eat anything else with sugar in it?  I tried going to a whole Singulair too, and I have had major agitation both times now, so I'm sticking with 5mg for now... I didn't notice any other changes with it, if that helps.  Sarah

Hi Kelley,
This is off topic, but how long have you been doing acupuncture?  I just started, and have gone 3 times so far.  I spoke with 2 different acupuncturists, and they both thought I would need 6-9 months of treatments.  I asked her to start slow, and twice it's helped, but when she did all of the needles, I think it was too much for me... What do you think about it and how it affects you?  --Sarah
