Interesting your screen name is Bee. Have you read the natural healing site by Bee?
I know you say you tried the super strict candida diet, but try going to Bee’s yahoo support group and asking her the questions you have asked here, she will answer you personally and make suggestions that will probably help cure it for good.

First, a couple more naturo-ideas (which i’m sure you’re tired of hearing)-remember that all fermented foods (booze, wine and cheese for example) throw off your ph and can cause yeast infections. Also sugar, as you mentioned and an overabundance of fruit. Probiotics are AMAZING. One everyday with food. Now for the meds; typical methods like antifungals like the Difflucan Pill and over the counter creams are steadily having a resistance built up to them. So, if you’ve sought these before and now they’re not working? It could be why. Try Boric Acid suppositories. They are the old way, really old. Its amazing stuff. Look up Tori Hudson-she is an incredible doc from Portland OR. She has bottled Boric Acid through Vitanica-her meds company. Please try, they changed my outlook on intimacy. Good luck!

better diet needed stay away from yeast

Consider the possibility that you are getting reinfected by your partner. When you get treated, the other person should also get treated. In this way you can rule out re-infection as a source.

Yes, males can get yeast infections and quite easily I might add.

well, you’ve probably already tried it, but try AZO’s homeopathic tablets. You can take them everyday and it says it’s supposed to help treat and prevent yeast infections. It cleared mine up in a day, it worked great.
