Question about yeast infection?

How long does it take for yogurt and cranberry juice to help aid in the fight against yeast infections (approximately)?


Answers:

Regular yogurt may not be enough- you need to look for live-cultured yogurt in your health food store. Taking acidophilus can help tremendously as well- anything that promotes the healthy bacteria in your body to grow will ward off infections.
Cranberry juice is usually considered a home remedy for urinary tract infections and for kidney health- you will need to get a kind that is pure cranberry juice with no added sugar in order to be truly effective.

This includes not giving yeast anything extra to live off either- like sugars. Cutting out sodas, candy bars-anything with simple sugars and breads as well. Some people only have to cut out white breads and anything made with white flour but if you are really sensitive you might have to cut out all whole wheat flours and go gluten free.

Another great home remedy for fighting yeast infections is garlic. Increase your intake and you can even use it as a suppository. Here's a link for more info:
