I can recommend the acidophilus tablets. Whenever I go on antibiotics, I get thrush - but twice now I've taken these capsules (which are stored in the refrigerator) and I haven't succumbed! And eat yoghurt and actually use plain (unsweetened!) yoghurt as a cream down below. You'll need to wear a pad - but it's soothing and can really help.

I've never really heard that these remedies cure the yeast infection or completely get rid of them--just passive the symptoms of them. I do know that drinking lots of CRANBERRY juice & eating the real plain yogurt & if you can't do that-- then just any yogurt with the live cultures in it, also at Health food stores you can buy CRANBERRY tablets as well that are supposed to help.

It sounds strange, but eat a lot of yogurt. The live bacteria in it wards off and cures yeast infections.
