When I was in my 20's I used to get lots of female problems including stubborn recurring yeast infections. My gynocologist kept giving me medicines and acidophilus etc, but it would keep coming back.
I went to a different gyno doctor- a very very OLD German woman doctor. After listening to my complaints she had me write down what I'd eaten for the past week as best I could. I had been eating mostly junk and processed convenience food. I was also smoking and drinking too much, which made things worse.
I've heard this, too - eating a diet heavy in yeasty bread (especially white bread) and sugars just feeds yeast infections, encouraging MORE yeast to grow than you normally want to have around, and feeding it with lots of sugar. I think I saw it on "You Are What You Eat" where she of course takes a super-radical approach of diet change for 6 or 8 weeks, but I think some subtle changes might be a little easier to stomach.
