First of all, I am 100% sure this is a yeast infection, I had it confirmed by a doctor. I’ve had a constant yeast infection for almost two years, so I’m going to go ahead and say it’s pretty severe! I’ve tried Diflucan I believe it’s called. I took one prescription pill and it did nothing, so I was put on them for a month, and it still did not get rid of it. I also used a kind of topical cream that you have to deposit in the vagina, I was on that twice, and it did nothing, and I used Canestan and Monistat too with no luck. I don’t have the worst diet. I do indulge in unhealthy foods here and there but I have a good amount of fruits and veggie’s in my diet. I heard that garlic may help, but something about putting a garlic clove in my vagina seems a bit…wrong My reasoning is that if I tried all of those prescription medications then why the h#!! would garlic work!?! However I eat a lot of yogurt and I take garlic tablets to get it in my system. Does anybody have any medications or natural remedies that worked, or has anybody had a severe yeast infection and gotten rid of it? I am absolutely tired of it!

In late January, I was hit with my first yeast infection. I didn’t want to go to a doctor, because I didn’t feel it was necessary at the time. I treated it with Monistat 3, and it seemed to go away. However, two weeks later it came back. I incorporated yogurt into my diet, and tried three different vaginal yeast infection treatments. Eventually it got so irritating I decided to go the doctor. Got tested and it is indeed a yeast infection. She prescribed me with two doses of Diflucan, and told me to try Monistat again. This worked, however not even a week later, it came back again. So I refilled my Diflucan prescription and tried again, with another dose of Monistat. However, this didn’t work.

Anyone have any suggestions of what I should do? I’m sexually active but I haven’t been since I found out I had a yeast infection so I know we’re not passing it back and forth. I just want this to go away. Having a yeast infection for three months is really starting to annoy me.

yogurt, monistat, and they haven’t really worked. Does diet really play a big factor into curing the yeast infection or is it a matter of using the right ointments, pills or home remedies?

I need to know something. Can yeast infections be cured? I have an it for 7 years and it seems I can`t cure it. Can u help me out? I`ve been to many, many doctors and tried a lot of treatments…What do u advice me to do? Maybe if u could give me your e-mail I could tell u all about it. Ty!
I also have to add some special medical treatment to the sugar free and yogurt cure?
no I`m not sexually active and I have no relief of treatment.
No diabetis history in my familly or me, I already started a sugar free and no carbs diet, but it`s not working much.It`s been a week since I`ve started it, in fact, I`m drinking a lot of low fat milk everyday, I also eat a lot of fish, chicken but no skin, eggs and from time to time a salad with everything in it. I don`t drink sodas anymore, not even this, but if I do, I drink a coke zero, at 3-4 days and chew sugarfree chewingumm. I also begun to wask the affected `aria` using no soap or whatsoever, just to be sure, but plenty of water.
Still, no improovement. I think I will never cure it, and if I don`t, does this affect fertility and also can I have complications in time? I repeat, I have this for few years now, and nothing seams to work anymore. ( I lost my faith!

Hi

Due to a thrush infection (I’m breastfeeding) I have to cut out sugar from my diet to cure it. This includes natural sugars like fruit, and other sweet things (artificial sweetener) that the yeast would feed on. Also meant to really limit dairy, apart from active yoghurt.

I can manage my meals okay, but want to snack a lot (I need more calories due to the bf, and probably also have some bad snacking habits). I am really struggling to find snacks that I am allowed to eat.

I’d appreciate it if people can offer some suggestions so I can find different things. I am aware I could just not snack, but I’m afraid I’ll end up binging or eating unhealthier meals.

Thanks for any thoughts.
Hi
forgot to make the important point that I can’t have anything with yeast in – so any bread product unless it is unleavened. So unforunately no english muffins but crackers is a good idea (probably wholemeal, as simple carbs are discouraged). Thanks x
