ya, most surely it could. especially if a person used a suppository or the drug store enema solutions or is taking something that is irritating things. i dont know if mucous takes on different textures or not, i would have to ask a gastroentronologist(sp?). mucous is just that, sort of sticky. the white fluff isnt mucousy. perhaps yeast makes the mucous fluffy, perhaps its something yeast leaves behind, i honestly dont know. i do know, if a person knows they have yeast and they start getting rid of it, there is a good chance they will at some point have some swelling and constipation from the yeast.

sorry maybe that warranted a tmi alert lol. although this IS the DE thread...

whenever i'm taking soemthing for yeast (garlic, capryl, probx) i just feel really really hungry!!

for me, lol, get it, me, lol...anyway, i found that most of the probiotics we tried made things worse for us. there could be a million reasons that i can now see in hindsight but not one that i could say for a fact. i also tried the garlic route and it also use to make things worse for us. it would even give my oldest hives on her mouth if i successfully snuch it into their food. but now that we are better we eat fresh garlic all the time and in everything. maybe theres something about it that does more harm than good when something in particular is compromised in the body??? who knows. but thank God, He has given us more than one thing to do the same work as garlic. That's what i love most about a large group of women talking natural health. there will always be a ton of suggestions and there is bound to be one that will work. or someone who can tell you why one isnt working
