My best friend has never had a yeast infection. Not once. I've had 14 this year alone. For years, I thought my body was just broken. Turns out, it has nothing to do with my body. And everything to do with something she does that I don't. Here's what I finally figured out. ======== I've been dealing with this since I was 26. I'm 38 now. That's 12 years of discharge. 12 years of weird smells. 12 years of checking my underwear every time I go to the bathroom. 12 years of only buying black panties because I'm scared of what I'll see on white ones. My friend Sarah? She wears white underwear. White. Like it's nothing. I asked her once. "Don't you worry about... you know... discharge?" She looked at me like I was crazy. "Not really. Why?" Why. WHY. Because I think about it every single day. ======== I've tried everything. Monistat. Boric acid. Antibiotics. That one summer I did apple cider vinegar baths because some blog told me to. Probiotics from the grocery store. Expensive probiotics from the health food store. Nothing worked. Or it worked for like... two weeks. Then I'd feel that itch again. Or smell that smell. Or see that discharge on my underwear. And I'd think: here we go again. ======== Last month, I was at Sarah's house. We were getting ready to go out. I went to the bathroom and did what I always do. Checked myself. Wiped. Looked. Smelled. It's humiliating, but I've done it for years. Just to make sure I'm "okay" before leaving the house. Sarah walked in to grab something. "What are you doing?" I wanted to die. I mumbled something about just peeing. But she knew. ======== Later that night, she brought it up. "You check yourself a lot, don't you?" I started crying. 12 years of shame just came out. I told her everything. The infections. The discharge. The smell. The way I avoid sex with my husband because I'm embarrassed. The way I've canceled plans because I "didn't feel fresh." The way I've spent thousands on products that don't work. She just listened. Then she said something that changed everything. ======== "Have you ever looked at your gut?" My gut? I'm talking about my VAGINA, Sarah. She laughed. "I know. But they're connected. Like, literally connected." I thought she was being weird. But she pulled up something on her phone. The gut-vaginal axis. It's a real thing. Bacteria from your gut travel to your vagina. They protect it. Balance the pH. Fight off infections. If your gut is messed up, your vagina can't protect itself. No amount of creams or suppositories will fix it. Because you're treating the wrong organ. ======== I sat there staring at her phone. 12 years. 14 infections this year alone. Thousands of dollars on boric acid and Monistat. And the problem was my GUT? "Why didn't my doctor tell me this?" Sarah shrugged. "Most don't. They just give you another prescription." She was right. Every time I went in with symptoms, I left with antibiotics. Which kill the good bacteria. Which makes the problem worse. Which sends you back for more antibiotics. It's a cycle. And I was stuck in it for 12 years. ======== Sarah takes a synbiotic. Not just a probiotic. A synbiotic. Prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics together. It feeds the good bacteria, adds more good bacteria, and helps them actually survive. She's been taking it for two years. Two years of no infections. Two years of white underwear. Two years of not thinking about her vagina every single day. ======== I started taking it three months ago. Bioma Feminine Health. 2 capsules with dinner. That's it. Week one: I noticed I wasn't checking myself as much. Week two: The discharge looked... normal? Clear instead of chunky. Week three: No smell. None. Month two: I bought white underwear. I cried in the Target dressing room. I'm not even joking. Month three: My husband asked why I wasn't making excuses anymore. I didn't know what to say. Because I finally feel normal. ======== 12 years I thought my body was broken. It wasn't. My gut was. And no one told me. Not my doctor. Not Google. Not the pharmacy aisle. A friend at a dinner party told me. Your vagina problems start in your gut. Fix your gut, fix your vagina. It's that simple. ======== I still have that box of black underwear. I'm throwing it out this weekend. *Actor portrayal. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
