Yes and no. Depending on severity it may help, but if a bad yeast infection it would take too long and misses other options. 1st and best thing to do is cut out sugars and white refined flours. If a very mild yeast flare, then cutting out sugar and upping probiotics should make a bit difference, but may not really knock it out completely. Then it will come back at a later time.
Probiotics are helpful to keep yeast at bay, but grapefruit seed extract is best as combating the infections. Use liquid for a topical infection (skin, throat or vaginal) and dilute then rinse area. If internal, not topical, then use the grapefruit seed extract pills and take one every few hours for a few days. Then, start pumping up the probiotics. A refrigerated pill probiotic or kefir will get you back up to speed with natural good bacteria more quickly than yogurt.
Grapefruit seed extract is wonderful for yeast infections, but always dilute before using. You can gargle with it, swallow it, douche with it, whatever you need. You can also add a few drops to your dishwater to sanitize dishes.
the answer is yes.
and applying plain yogurt directly to the area works faster.
how about see doctor?
It takes a lot longer than a medication and often doesn’t work. The key is sugar-free plain yogurt, as sugar can make a yeast infection worse. Also avoid bread and anything else containing yeast while trying a yogurt cure. Actually putting the plain sugar-free yogurt into the vagina can help cure it faster than consuming it.
Yes, it has always worked for me. You can eat it. You can also put it in your vagina (plain yogurt). I usually eat it or take the acidophilus pills. The pills usually work within 24-48 hours.
The health food store (GNC, Whole Foods, etc) sells Acidophilus pills that work really well. Acidophilus is the friendly bacteria in yogurt.
it doesnt cure it but it keeps it from coming back helps the yeast stay healthy
