I have been eating plain Greek yogurt, and using otc cream, and having bowel movements. I just afraid to continue to work out. Just don't know of I should continue to, or to stop until it clears up. RJ/beginnings thanks for the link!

There's another thread that's similar to yours posted around the same time. Here's what I posted there.

I just asked this on another thread...sorry if it's too personal, but...are you having regular bowel movements?

If you're not, that could be the cause. According to my NUT (and I double checked with another NUT to be sure), that pesky itching could be from not having regular bowel movements.

Here's an article on candida (yeast infection) and leaky gut syndrome. You can also do a google search for: yeast infection bowel movement and it will provide some good links.

I've had two NUT's tell me it's so important to take a good quality probiotic. I use Ther-Biotic Complete powder - it has 100+ Billion CFU's.

Post op, I thought I was going to have to treat a yeast infection with an over the counter treatment. I called the NUT and told her I hadn't had a bowel movement in 5 days and she freaked a little. I had to take some Metamucil and start the probiotic up again. Once things got moving, that irritating itch went a way.
