Hello Alison, I am so glad you found it helpful. Let me address your questions:
1. Weak acid foods are almost all fruit (excluding avocados, these are great to eat), whey (which is dairy except butter), all kinds of vinegar, molassas (found in many pre-packaged breads and foods), all honey, vitamin C or absorbic acid (used as a preservative in processed foods and even natural foods. Also, in many supplements) and all kinds of pepper, table pepper included. There are certain strong acid foods that should be avoided completely as well. Coffee, regular and green tea, alcohol, sugar, any artificial sweetners or foods, artifical preservatives and carbonated drinks of any kind.
2. Diflucan is a powerful anti-fungal drug. Drugs are consumed and since we are trying to consume only all natural (organic if possible) foods this does not fall into the catagory. It has chemicals that are extremely acidic to the body. Since we are overly acidic and depleted of alkalizing minerals this drug (as with many drugs) would be adding fuel to the fire. I am not saying to stop your meds. Please check with your doctor with regards to any medication you are presently taking. Often, prescriptions are not needed anymore because alkalizing the body takes away many symptoms. Again, please consult your prescribing doctor with regards to meds.
3. In my e-book "My Burning Vagina" I describe a method I call the T.A.D.O.R. method of anxiety relief. The e-book is in its final stages of editing and won't be ready for a bit so here is the method I coined.
T-Touch-Find the place where you feel the anxiety (for me it's my stomach) and place your hand there.
A-Acknowledge that you are feeling anxiety, stress, anger fill in the blank.
D-Deny your body from digesting this emotion. If you digest this stressful emotion you will be eating acid and setting yourself ablaze.
O-Oxygenate your body by inhaling deeping while keeping your hand in place.
R-Release as you exhale slowly this emotion away from your body. Repeat 5-10 times.
This will become second nature. If you don't eat your stress it won't make it's way down to your vagina. Use imagery and you will avoid a potential flare. This takes awhile to achieve but it is invaluable. I use it all the time. It takes a few seconds.
