You may be experiencing the symptoms of candida (yeast) or something else, but what is clear is that your body (and perhaps your immune system) is telling you that it is out of balance.
A traditional method of treating candida is to drink a glass of water with 3 tsp of apple cider vinegar prior to each meal. However this is more helpful as maintenance, not so much with a full blown infection.
I suggest that you cut out all sugar (fruit, white sugar, fructose, etc) and processed food (ie white flour), and severely limit carbs/starch. This is what feeds the candida.
The OTC methods will only take care of the problem temporarily and don’t get to the root your problem.
Try a gentle detox program such as the one by Wild Rose. It provides herbs that you take prior to each meal for a 2 week period which will rid your body of candida and other toxin while supporting your liver. It also provides a guideline for your diet during the 2 weeks with severe restrictions on carbs.
This will help you to re-establish a healthy flora in your body, cleanse your liver so it can rid your body of toxins and start you on the path to healthier eating habits.
If the problem continues, go to your primary care provider for a pap smear and swab for cultures.
Best of luck!
your local pharmacy has lots of stuff. ask the pharmacist. they usually are very informative.
You could try any of the over-the-counter remedies, such as Monistat, Canesten, etc., however, you should always try the lower dose first… meaning don’t try the one day treatment, instead opt for the 3- or 7-day. They are very strong if you’re not used to them. Before trying any over-the-counter treatment, you should consult with your doctor to make sure that they will work properly for you.
There are lots of OTC yeast remedies, ask the druggist.
A 10% vinegar douche may help
Acidophilus is pretty much useless.
If it doesn’t get better, you should be seen by a doctor to make sure it actually is a yeast infection. I’ve seen far too many self diagnosed yeast infections turn out to be other things…from STD, to bacterial vaginosis, to cervical cancer.
Here are a few ways for you to do just that:
1. Sugar Free Yogurt
One great natural yeast infection treatment is the use of sugar free yogurt. Yogurt is one of the most well known solutions to this problem and for good reason, it works. The healthy bacterial cultures can kill off the candida yeast.
What you need to do to put this to work is apply some yogurt to the tip of a tampon and then insert that vaginally. After leaving that in for about 30 minutes, remove it, and repeat this process 2-3 times per day. This should yield results in about 1-2 weeks.
2. Garlic
Garlic is another great treatment that is easy to apply. The garlic works as an anti-fungal agent which kills off the out of control yeast.
If you want to try this method out, just cut out a slice from a clove of garlic and wrap that in some cheesecloth or gauze. Once you’ve got that, insert that vaginally. Leave that in overnight if you want to see the best results.
3. Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is another great solution to try out. If you don’t know where to find it, check your local supplement store, it should have it.
4 Slippery Elm Bark
When it comes to the treatment of yeast infection, one rare solution which is actually quite potent is slippery elm bark. This will help you to get rid of any itchiness you experience as well as redness or burning of the genital region. If you want to try it, all you have to do is find some in powder form at a supplement store and turn it into a paste with some water. With this, you just apply it to the irritated area on a daily basis.
Yes there is. There are probiotics have been proven to help with vaginal problems such as yeast infection much better than acidophilus does.
Acidophilus is a lactic acid producing bacteria and any of them are useful as they help to stop bad bacteria from adhering to the vaginal walls but particular strains of L reuteri and L rhamnosus are even better.
These two have been effective against both yeast infection and BV.
You can buy them combined in one capsule called Fem Dophilus through Amazon.
Honestly, just get the cheap store brand name one. I had one a year ago and didn’t want to pay like $30 for monistat so I just bought the Walgreens brand one and it was gone in a day and a half.
