Hi there.yes yeast infections can be very unpleasant and when it gets into your blood stream you have a real problem on your hands. yeast infections also known as thrush and candida which can affect any part of your body can you make you feel very unwell indeed. apart from keeping clean,wearing cotton underwear,one should avoid perfumed shower solutions and perfumed talc and soaps.
candida thrives on sugar and yeast to survive and keep spreading. a diet free of sugar of all kinds and yeast is a must to avoid.theres no point in eating yogurt and taking acidophilus.but still consume sugar and yeast. threelac is supposed to be very good though i havnt as yet tried this out.
if your prone to thrush or severe candida outbreaks then try to avoid if possible antibiotics unless absolutley nessessary. as mentioned if you have to then take plenty of live yogart and acidophilus to build up a healthy internal gut again.

Please don't eat commercial yogurt to get the probiotics in it. Milk products are often the CAUSE of yeast infections. And, when I last checked, it would take 40 cups of yogurt to get the amount of viable probiotics found in the average, 3 billion count, probiotic capsule.

If one is using an antibiotic, it's really important to wait 2-4 hours before taking a probiotic, or the antibiotic will just wipe out the beneficial bacteria.

I agree with Tony d, you need to get a high quality probiotic supplement not those high in sugar, yoghurt drinks - the sugar and dairy only feeds the yeast. I highly recommend these guys: www.optibacprobiotics.co.uk - the shipping is good value for the fantastic product

This is how I got my Grave's Disease, I believe. Candida. The toxins, and Leaky Gut Syndrome which leaks the toxins into the blood stream. I had actual "FIRE IN THE BRAIN" sensations. Doctors told me "it doesn't happen, the brain cannot feel anything." THE HELL IT CAN'T!!!!!!
I had several antibiotic treatments. That kills the good bacteria too. I eventually got it under control. 45 days of Undecenoic Acid caps, did not make me feel better. I was constantly dizzy and had brain fog to the point of not finding the opening of a paper bag, with someone pointing to the opening of the paper bag....BAD CASE!!!!
After 30 days of THREELAC I felt better. After 6 boxes of it, I was over the Candida, for the most part, but it did come back after a time. I was on the "candida diet" too. 4 years of intestinal repair, took care of the leaky gut syndrome. You have to repair the damage to your intestines!!!!!!!!! Just getting the Candida under control is NOT ENOUGH!!!!!!!!! So, lots of 70 dollar a can ULTRA CLEAR PLUS, and 30 dollar a jar of INTESTINAL REPAIR COMPLEX, took care of that. But it took along time. It is all supplements!!!!!!!!! No drugs were used.
And now I am Gluten intolerant because of the damage, even thought the intestinal lining has thickened back up to normal, and I no longer "LEAK".....WHEW!!!!!
No doctor found my problem, it took a chiropractor who had had the same problem 15 years earlier to recognize the symptoms and even suspect that was the problem, and that was after 4 months of telling him how lousy I felt every session for my neck and back!!!!!!!!!!!! It is an INSIDIOUS HIDDEN CONDITION!!!!!!!! I ached all over, and had arthritis in my hands. After 8-9 months of Threelac, and intestinal repair complex.....NO ARTHRITIS, and I still don't have knuckle pain. Other joints hurt too, but don't now! IT IS THE TOXINS THAT CAUSE THAT!!!!! Like joint and muscle aches with the FLU!!!!! It is the TOXINS!!!!!
I believe it attacked my Thyroid, and gave me the Grave's Disease. It can attack the organs, I had liver, spleen, and pituitary problems, among others. It is WASTE in your system!!!!!! Not good.
Look on the internet for HOME CANDIDA TEST. Do it. I was text book positive. You just spit in a clear glass of water, and come back every 20 minutes, a no brainer!!!! Simple.
Get Threelac or Fivelac, if you want, I love the stuff, probably saved my life!!!!!!! It eats Candida for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You will feel better quickly. BUT IT IS NOT OVER WITH ONLY ONE BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALSO, get 15 strain 35 billion CFU, PROBIOTIC, regular acidophilus is not enough. Your intestines contain 100 TRILLION bacteria, If stars were bacteria that is 500 galaxies the size of the Milky Way in your gut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So you need A LOT!!!!!!!! And more than just one bottle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You need to replenish 100 trillion bacteria!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will need about 10-20 bottles as it does grow on its own.
You will most likely be YEARS IN THE HEALING!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has been 9 years now for me, and I still deal with some of the after affects!!!!!! It is insidious, nasty stuff, because it is hidden and no doctor really suspects it. So it goes on!!!!!! If you think you have it, look it up, read the symptoms, do the free in home test, get several boxes of threelac to start. Chances are your Doctor is not going to be ANY HELP IN THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mine sure were not!!!!

God, bless you and keep you.
Be Well and Happy,
Steve

Good to know as for the threelac it's a waste of monies.

check on VSL#3 -this probiotic has 450billion cfu (colony forming units )in every bag.it eats candida but diet is a MUST-no carbs of any type and no diary acsept of goat yogurt .in very severe cases no fresh vegies either-only cooked
and in one month candida is gone.check for EFT-it helps even better together with previouse two mentioned-in two weeks it was gone.be healthy!

this does not work for all of us.....especially if we eat right and take acidophiles and alkalize and are vegetarians.....and it never works for any of my very healthy friends........

one must douche with apple cider vinegar and good water.....
you can look up the proportions.......
