I get frequent yeast infections for a couple of reasons- I take a low dose antibiotic 2-3 times a week for another health problem, and I run 4 days a week wearing cotton/spandex tight shorts. Add to that the normal summer sweating and occasional swimming and I’ve had at least 2 since May. Because of the antibiotic I have a prescription for Diflucan as well, but lately it hasn’t worked when I use it. I usually have to use a OTC treatment for like 3-7 days as well. I’ve even tried taking 2 Diflucan a day or two apart, and that didn’t work either. Has this ever happened to anyone else?
I know all the stuff about how to prevent yeast infections; in fact I answered someone yesterday with a lot of detail about that from my experience. But I’m sick of the messy OTC treatments when the Diflucan is supposed to do the trick.

(Also, I can’t change the tight shorts thing. I’m thick in the thighs and if I don’t wear the biker-style shorts I get really chaffed.)

This is worth checking out.

Staph Infection Secrets by Dr. Walinski :: ** New from Y F P ** .

I know this is gross, but I have searched like crazy and can’t find the answer. I got my first small yeast infection and found a ton of info saying that yogurt (and putting a garlic clove up there is supposed to work, too) could cure a yeast infection, and to actually put yogurt down there and…inside. Well, I got desperate and actually did it. I also did the garlic for 3 nights.

I keep checking myself to see if the white discharge is gone, but I am still finding some white stuff, which is not lumpy like they say yeast infections are (but it is definitely white, and not something else), no yeasty smell, and is almost like a liquidy texture.

Is this the yogurt coming out still? It’s been about two days since I did that treatment (the frozen yogurt tampon). How do other people get the yogurt out? Does it come out naturally? Get absorbed? If I only find a tiny bit of that and maybe one small (I mean tiny) bit of yeast, am I pretty much home free?

Also, I bought Actimel (euro version of DanActiv) which is a yogurt drink with lots of live cultures. Will drinking, say, 8 small bottles of this in the course of a day for a few days help curing this along?

I know this is a lot, but the question about getting the yogurt out is the most important! What is supposed to happen?!
