A yeast infection happens usually after being on anti-biotics. The best way to prevent a yeast infection, especially when on anti-biotics, is, about 2 hrs. after taking the med., eat a spoonful of yogurt-that has live acidopholous cultures in it-like Yoplait. Any flavor is okay. The symptoms of a yeast infection are usually a discharge from your front privates, and itching in that area. If you have these symptoms, there are two ways of treating it. There is a pill-one only-that stays in your system up to seven days to clear it up, or a cream, over-the-counter, Monostat, to treat it for seven days. Follow the instructions. By the way, the pill is by prescription only. Take care.

Home remedies for candidiasis include the consumption or direct application of yogurt, which contains lactobacillus (probiotics, "friendly" bacteria that kill yeast), acidophilus tablets or salves, and even lightly crushed cloves of garlic, which yield allicin, an antifungal.
