RE: Kind of OT but about acidophilus

[Guest guest]

HI,

I have to add my 2 cents here. Acidophilus won't kill the yeast so douching

with the yogurt might improve the situation, but the yeast might still out

grow the acidophilus. I am prone to yeast infections after every course of

antibiotics I've taken. So this is what I do.

After I've finished the antibiotic. I either use OTC med for yeast infection

or a douch with Betadine. This kills most of the yeast. A day later, I

follow it with a yogurt douce (1-2 Tbs. yogurt to 1 qt warm water). This

starts the good flora growing.

If you are taking a long course of antibiotic, you might have to do this

midway if the infection is getting bad.

This always does the job for me.

<<Kind of OT but about acidophilusYou can get yeast infection meds over the

counter. They have 1 and 3 day treatments--that do the trick. I know some

have tried douching with yougort--not pretty and not real effective.>>
