We all know that antibiotics bring on yeast infections as they kill the good bacteria
we naturally have...here is a letter from someone who found a cure for herself.
Hi! I have been on antibiotics a lot in the past 6 years with chronic
sinus infections. After the birth of my second child 2 years ago, I
started to get yeast infections every month. The doctors were useless to
get help from. My friend had the same problem and her father-in-law (a
chiropracter) told her to take oregano pills and acidophilus pills. It
worked for her. So I tried it because I was itchy all the time!! Well,
IT WORKED!!! For the first two weeks I took 2 Oregano pills 2x's a day
with a meal, and 1 acidophilus 2x's a day. Then for the next two weeks I
took 2 Oregano pills once a day, and 2 acidophilus a day. You can get
them at any vitamin store. Give it a try, it might work.
I was cured.

There is also a dietary supplement known as culterelle.....
replenishes good bacteria preventing yeast infection

FREQUENT YEAST INFECTIONS
If you're a woman who has frequent yeast infections, sugar
may be the culprit. Studies have found that women who eat a
lot of sweet foods, no matter the source, are more prone to
yeast infections. Sweets raise the sugar level in the
bloodstream, resulting in a receptive environment for the
growth of yeast. Be sure to work with your physician or OB
on a good treatment plan that includes both lowering your
sugar intake and improving your overall nutrition.

Natural Help for Yeast Infections.
Many women suffer from frequent vaginal yeast infections, which can
indicate an underlying metabolic imbalance. It often helps if you change
your diet to make your body a less appealing host for the organism. Your
partner may want to do the same. (Studies suggest that treating the
patient's sexual partner may stop recurrence.) First, try reducing your
sugar intake. High-sugar diets stimulate the growth of yeast. Also, add
garlic to your diet. A clove once a day is a powerful natural medicine,
with specific anti-yeast effects (that's one segment from a bulb, not
the whole thing!). Mash or chop it finely, mix it with food and eat it
with a meal. Or, cut it into chunks and swallow the chunks like pills.
Fresh-grown garlic is much better than any garlic supplements. Chew a
little parsley afterward if you're concerned about odor, but if you eat
garlic regularly and have a good attitude about it, you won't smell of
it. Try it, it really works.
Finally, take acidophilus culture. These bacteria are the ones that make
milk sour. "Friendly" and natural to the intestinal tract, they may also
out-compete yeast in the vaginal area and change the chemistry of the
tissues to make them resistant to the fungi. You can buy acidophilus in
health-food stores, usually prepared in a milk or carrot juice base.
Check the expiration date to make sure the bacteria are healthy. Take
one tablespoon of the liquid culture or one to two of the dry capsules
after meals, unless the label directs otherwise.
These changes to your diet may help reverse some of your underlying
susceptibility to yeast infections. To treat the infections when they
occur, try placing a capsule of acidophilus directly into your vagina
once a day, or use a rubber bulb syringe to insert one tablespoon of
liquid culture. Another possibility would be tea tree oil, a nontoxic
treatment very useful for fungal infections. The oil is extracted from
the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, a native tree of New South Wales.
You can find it in health-food or herb stores. Mix one and a half
tablespoons of the oil in a cup of warm water and use it as a douche
once a day. If you experience any irritation, however, discontinue its
use.
