Hope this is in the right place? Can anyone tell me if there is a vaginal cream or medicine that is gluten free for yeast infections.

My wife is currently struggling with that same issue after three rounds of antibiotics for another problem but she is not a celiac. Have you encountered creams or meds that do have gluten in them? My wife usually has to resort to the prescription med fluconazole to conquer her yeast infections. It's a pill. I don't know that it has gluten but we've never has to check it for such. Most medications do not purposely contain gluten but it can be very difficult or impossible to determine if they were produced on dedicated equipment that would exclude cross contamination.

In the very rare cases where gluten may be present, we estimate based on drug formulation information that wheat starch and other ingredients derived from wheat would contribute no more than 0.5 mg gluten to a unit dose of an oral drug product. This amount is less than may be found in a single 30-gram serving of food labeled gluten-free according to FDA’s regulations."

Considering that vitamin D deficiency is common in people with critical illness and may also be linked to a greater risk of Candida infections, the authors concluded that vitamin D in conjunction with other standard fungal treatments may reduce the incidence of fungal infections.  Are vitamin deficiencies linked to fungal infections?

These results suggest that mild zinc deficiency is associated with recurrent vaginal candidiasis and may play a role in the susceptibility of women to recurrent vaginal candidiasis.  Zinc status in women with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis
