I wanted to let you all know something that has worked for me and my little sister on yeast infections. First, she eats a serving of yogurt every day and so do I. This has helped both of us. We were having recurrent yeast infections at one time, what a drag... Then I saw my gynecologist and he recommended that as soon as I feel/smell/or show the discharge of a yeast infection I should put @ 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt in a reusable douche bag and fill to the top with very warm but not hot water. Then douche with this mixture. It actually feels good inside. YOU MUST USE PLAIN YOGURT, the sugars and the yeast will have a holiday if you don't. Do this for a couple of days and see if it helps. THE TRICK is to douche as soon as you detect a yeast infection. Don't wait. Get right on it. Any drug store should have the reusable douch bags. I rinse the bag out really well with hot water and let any drops drain out. Using soap may irritate your skin inside and out. Even if you are "just itchy" and it is not a yeast infection it will not hurt you to douche this way. I am on the pill and I have not had the yeast infections I used to, it was pretty bad there for a while. Also, if you don't catch it, you can get a prescription for diflucan and that works within 24 hrs. One Pill, 24 hrs.
