plain yogurt and yeast infection question…help!?
so i went to the store and got plain yogurt b/c i heard if you eat alot of it and even put it inside yourself that it would help with a yeast infection due to the live cultures of good bacteria in it. it also said that it had to be sugar free b/c yeast feeds on sugar…BUT none of the plain yogart at my local savemart was sugar free the closest i could find was 7g per cup…so i bought it b/c im sick of this thing…will it work the same or will it make matters worse?
already been to the doctor once got flucanozole it worked for about two weeks and it started itching again….ive used the monistat day and night and it still kinda itches three days later…
Most eating yogurt is a preventive measure, not a cure. Consider buying 7-Day Monistat.
