Chronic thrush from “sex” finally solved! It’s been 6 years!!

My husband and I have had a very trying sex life over the past few years. I chronically get horrible BV and yeast infections after we have sex... every time. I’ve been to see multiple OB/GYNs and they all recommend the same things (wash/clean beforehand, pee straight afterwards - both of which are awesome mood killers BTW, only wear cotton panties, low sugar diets, etc etc etc.) It’s gotten to be that I don’t ever want to have sex because I know what’s coming the next day and my husband feels like it’s his fault and that he’s “unclean”.

This past week was our anniversary and we went away for a few nights. I forgot to pack lube...and I miraculously didn’t get an infection for the first time in...6 years!?!? Came home this week, had sex and got a yeast infection and something suddenly clicked. A quick google search confirmed it. Most common lubricants (cough KY) contain glycerin which is basically sugar. HOW HAS NO DOCTOR EVER TOLD ME OR RECOMMENDED THIS!?!?
