There is no easy way to rid yourself of this annoyance but eating a healthier diet with less sugar and mushrooms will help. canestin cream with cortizone will clear any external symptoms.

The best person to see would be a qualified and reputable Naturopath who deals with women's issues - not your GP. Modern medicine only goes so far with candida and isn't a permanent soloution.\n\nThe best natural things to do that have worked for me are to :\n\n* Cut down on your sugar intake - sugar encourages yeast to grow in your body\n\n* Avoid ANYTHING with yeast - especially bread! Check all processed foods ingredient lists to make sure they're ok.\nEg. Original flavour doritos are fine but Nacho Cheese doritos have yeast plus a whole heap of other things.\n\n* If you must eat bread try corn tortilla's or eat sourdough bread that creates it's own yeast and doesn't have any added. Always avoid white starchy processed bread.\n\n* Avoid any foods that may have mould in them, aged cheeses (stick to younger ones like mozzarella) mushrooms etc\n\n* Take acidpholous tablets (available at your chemist in the refrigerated section) They help to promote good bacteria in your body.\n\n* Drink heaps of water\n\n* Avoid alcohol - it does the same thing as sugar\n\n* Avoid any cured or pickled foods - eg ham, salami - essentially the more processed food is the worse it is for candida\n\n* Not sure where you live but I'm in Australia where we have a priduct called Vegemite which is essentially made out of a yeast extract - avoid anything like this (similar to marmite and promite)\n\nFinally, eat heaps of vegetables! \n\nHave a look at the sites listed in the sources section. Good Luck!

I understand what you are going through - I also fight yeast infections constantly and used to get about one a month, right around my period.  My doctor tested me for hyperglycemia and diabetes - increased blood sugar can feed yeast infections (as can any sugar).  I would have your doctor do that for you.\n\nIn my case, I am not diabetic - just yeast infection prone.  Lots of things can trigger them - sex, certain types of condom, too much sugar in my diet, messing up my birth control pills, and more.  I control it by being careful about all those things, and also by 1-2 yogurts a day (make sure it has live active cultures) and taking acidophilus, an OTC vitamin similar to yogurt.  (And the occasional Monistat - I'm down to one about 1 every six months.  Another tip - use the 7 day - it's more of a pain but MUCH more effective and cheaper)\n\nAlso - do you take a lot of antacids?  Stomach acid helps control yeast - and atacids eliminate stomach acid.  I have stomach problems and have to be careful how many antacids I take, or yeast will flare up.\n\nIt is very important you confirm with a doctor that you are suffering from yeast infections, and not another medical problem/STD/etc.\n\nGood luck!

Actually, there is! There are a few things you can look for and use for a pretty accurate self-diagnosis (and I'm sure it goes without saying that you should see a doctor, even though most doctors don't know what they are talking about when it comes to Candida). The first test is kind of gross; but if you spit into a glass of water, and you see the saliva traveling down the water to the bottom of the glass in spears, that is an indication of Candida present in the Saliva. Another symptom are fungal nails, and most of the time people who have Candida's breath will turn sour immediately after eating something sweet. \nI hope these help. Candida can be overcome pretty easily if you cut out simple carbohydrates, sugar and dairy, and take some pro-biotics like Acidophilus. You can also eat plain yogurt; it contains helpful pro-biotics that can set your stomach chemistry right again.

Hey, I didn't got to the doctor or the emergency for my vaginal  problem either.  Money and insurance is also a problem fo me.  Here is what i did to solve my problem.  I went to the stor and bought some cheap Hydrocortisone Cream 1% Anti ich cream for the outer part and put it on 3-4 times a day.  Just a smal amount will do.  I went to the Vitamin Store and bout something from there.  They keep it in the fridge.  It is called Gy-Na.Tren.  It is safe, effective and natural beneficial flora L. acidolpilus, NAS super strain in veggie and gelitain capsules for yeast overgrowth.  It has two 14-capsule bottles, ome you take orally and the othe vaginally.  It works I am sure of it.

Alcohol gel (anti-bacterial gel) or small can of Lysol spray used on the seat, use paper (clean it up, as well, don't make it worse for the rest of us), use the gel on your hands after you wash them and have left.  Use a paper to open the door (some people don't wash their hands).  Use paper to turn on and off the sink.  Roll out some paper before you wash your hands so you don't have to handle the paper dispenser after washing your hands.\n\nSeem extreme?  Not when you've taken first aid from a microbiologist!  Scary stuff.  At the same time, I have a newborn daughter who has virutally no immune system (being new and all).  For her, I take EVERY precaution.

Colloidal Silver is good stuff. That might work but either make it yourself http://curezone.com/forums/m.asp?f=97&i=1054\nhttp://curezone.com/forums/f.asp?f=97\nor purchase a gallon of it from EBay or somewhere. \n\nApple Juice, Apple Pectin, & Apple Cider Vinegar will help cleanse your body\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=179&i=68\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=179&i=27\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=179&i=51\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=179&i=44\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=179&i=39\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=179&i=37\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=179&i=35\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=179&i=21\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=179&i=19\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=179&i=11\n\nIn addition to taking a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar & Cinnamon three times a day for at least a month, I would add two to three drops of green hull black walnut oil or wild oregeno oil to some apple juice to help kill parasites and drink three glasses of distilled water with a tablespoon of unrefined sea salt. You will not believe how much better you will feel after just two weeks. \n\nThere are other methods to cure Candida. Keep trying different methods until you dicover what works for you but make sure you stick with whatever you try to give it a chance to work. Candida is caused by a powerful acid/alkaline imbalance and likewise will take some discomfort and care to repair. Apple Cider Vinegar and Sea Salt & Distilled Water and or Colloidal Silver might be the easiest way to beat Candida but everyone is their own batch of chemicals and what works for me might not work for you.\n\nThere are also wonderful Candida Support Forums\nhttp://curezone.com/forums/f.asp?f=460\n\nAnd a Master Cleanse Support forum well known Candida protocols\nhttp://curezone.com/forums/f.asp?f=478\n\nFind what works for you and stick to it...

my natropathic doc gave me very strong oregano pills to eat with meals that kill yeast (candida), bad bacteria and good bacteria all at once.  1.5 hrs after meals I had to take acidopholis and bifidus with lots of water to replace the good bacteria in my intestines. at night and in the morning i drank psyllium husk/water (to clean out bowels easily) and healing clay (to absorb toxins which are released in HUGE amounts while cleansing).  If you really have bad candida, you will be sick for a few days. You cannot have any sugar because the yeast feeds of of it. if you need sweetness use stevia. 10% of your meal can be grains but no more than that, because yeast feed of of that, too. it's hard, but worth it. do this for  3 weeks minimum. for the first 3 weeks don't eat any fruit.

There is a sauve called Bag Balm. It will draw the infection out of just about anything. It is in a mostly green square tin. I swear by this stuff. Try it.

go to the pharmacy and get an otc yeast infection cream, like monostat. it works well. there will be something to insert into your vagina, which will kill the infection, and a topical creme to apply outside to stop the itching. you should also start eating lots of yogurt to help. some of the acids in yogurt help boost your immunity to getting yeast infections.

Hi there. Try this.\n\nThe naturopathic approach to Candida infection is to improve resistance to infection, whilst at the same time addressing the overgrowth of the Candida organism.\n\n\nProbiotics such as acidophilus and bifidus bacteria are "good" bacteria that normally inhabit the digestive tract and the vagina. Probiotic supplementation may help to address the imbalance caused by an overgrowth of Candida, and may help relieve digestive symptoms such as flatulence and diarrhoea.\n\nThe mineral chromium assists the body with sugar utilisation and may help to reduce sugar craving symptoms; (if you are diabetic, discuss this with your healthcare professional before using it)\n\nThe herb garlic has anti-fungal properties and is prescribed to assist with fungal infections such as Candida\n\nEchinacea stimulates the body's resistance and may help to reduce susceptibility to infection\n\nImportant Notes\nMany antibacterial, corticosteroid and immuno-suppressive therapies increase susceptibility to Candida, as do pregnancy, diabetes and some other diseases. Consult with your healthcare professional if you have concerns in this regard.\n\n\nIn certain individuals, such as those with depleted immunity, Candida infection may require immediate medical attention.\n\n\n\nRecurrent thrush is sometimes due to an infected sexual partner - both people may need to be treated before the situation is resolved. \n\n\n\nRecurrent thrush in babies may indicate that the mother's nipples are infected. Your healthcare professional will prescribe a suitable topical preparation.\n\nPrevention\nCandida is more likely to develop in warm, moist environments. Try to wear cotton rather than nylon underwear, and always ensure a baby's nappy is changed as quickly as possible.\n\n\n\nA healthy diet and lifestyle combined with good hygiene will reduce the likelihood of developing Candida. Avoid excessive amounts of yeast-based foods such as bread and try not to eat too many sugary foods.\n Hope this helps.\n\nCraig - Naturopath
