Eating Yogurt for Yeast




Regardless of what goes wrong with our body, there is going to be something in nature that can take care of it for us. For some things, it may take a very long time of constant natural treatments in order to take care of the problem but there are ailments that we suffer from which may go away fairly quickly once we begin doing something natural to help it. A good example of this is if we have yeast infections. There is a type of food that we can eat which can actually help us to overcome the yeast infection that we are experiencing.




First of all, you need to understand that in order to get a yeast infection, your body needs to be out of balance in some way or another. Typically, this occurs as a result of the natural bacteria that is present in our body being stifled and reduced. This bacteria typically keeps yeast from growing to the point where it becomes a problem. Since yeast is present in the environment all around us, it is important for our body to be able to fight it off and to keep it from growing. Many times, this imbalance comes about as a result of prolonged sickness or antibiotic use.




In order for us to treat the yeast infection naturally, we need to regain the balance in our body that was lost. One of the easiest ways for us to be able to do this is by eating yogurt every day. This is not only a good idea if we currently have a yeast infection but it is also something that you should consider doing if you are in between yeast infections. All natural yogurt that is free of sugar will help to build up the natural bacteria in your body so that it can successfully fight off any yeast infections that you are experiencing naturally.




Something else at you might want to consider is putting the yogurt directly on the area where the yeast infection is occurring. In the case of the vaginal yeast infection, you should put a little bit on the outside and then insert a tampon with yogurt on it directly into the vagina. Make sure that you don't keep it there for too long or else it may actually become an irritant. Many women have found almost immediate relief by doing this and see a drastic reduction in the amount of yeast infections that they experience.

Stop Eating This and Stop Your Yeast Problems



Believe it or not, yeast is not really the enemy. Although it may seem like it is to those of us who are suffering from yeast infections, in actuality he serves a very useful purpose. After all, we would not be a have bread and even beer would not exist without yeast being present. Unfortunately, however, it can cause problems in our body that are definitely unwelcome and if we are suffering from a yeast infection, it is difficult to think about the benefits of yeast in our lives.
One of the main problems that is causing yeast infections in individuals is the fact that our bodies get thrown out of balance and it is unable to keep the yeast from growing to unnatural levels. It is easy enough for us to be able to correct that problem because we can do so by hydrating ourselves regularly or eating the right kind of foods, such as yogurt and apple cider vinegar. You might be surprised, however, with the fact that we are actually feeding the yeast infection in many cases by the foods that we are eating. Instead of thinking about what type of food you should need in order to get rid of the yeast infection, why not try thinking about some of the foods that you are eating which might be irritating the matter.
One of the worst offenders as far as foods is concerned is sugar. Many of us enjoy eating sugar and we get it in so many different forms that it is difficult for us to even realize when we are consuming it in the first place. The simple fact of the matter is, yeast loves sugar and it thrives on it. If we are eating sugar regularly, we are simply feeding the yeast infection. Remove it from our diet and we remove a lot of the ability of the yeast infection to grow.
Another thing that you may be eating which could be causing yeast infections is processed foods. These are the mainstream of many of our diets but a lot of the things that are contained within processed foods also help to feed yeast infections. Start to eat a more natural diet which includes plenty of fruits and vegetables and you will begin to see some of your yeast infections disappear as a result.

What are some foods and beverages I should avoid if trying to get rid of a yeast infection?

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

The infamous yeast infection...the horror of horrors. How do we cure and how do we prevent? First of all yeast is a fungus that forms is areas where your PH balance is off or the amount of natural bacteria or in your system is unnormal(i.e. stomach or even whole bodies after atibiotics, etc.)To push the bad out you need to introduce good, yogurts and acidophillus, and multidophilus will put the "good" bacteria back in your system. Drinking lots of water and cranberry juice will help to clean the toxins out from the yeasts and will help the "good" stuff grow. You can also use over the counter medications or a home remedy of 5 drops tea tree oil and 5 drops olive oil on the end of a tampon for 15 minutes twice a day to clear up infections quickly.

To answer your question though you should avoid foods high in starch and processed sugar like white bread, and pop. Try to limit these foods to as little as possible to make recovery faster because yeast loves sugar.

  • Yogurt is the best for that. Also you can go to a health food store and get some acidopholis pills. It contains the same good bacteria as yogurt but w/out the taste or smell and works about as fast. There are really no foods to avoid during this time. I know how uncomfortable you are. Good luck.

  • I've heard a lot of good about the yogurt too. Just be sure it is real yogurt with live acidophilus (the culture)in it. I would use something from a health food store, or maybe plain Dannon from a grocery store. Whatever brand you use, it should be plain, rather than flavored. You asked about things to avoid. I've read a lot about sugar being one of the main culprits for yeast infection. That's anothr reason you'd want the yogurt to be plain.

Eating Yogurt to Get Rid of Your Yeast Infection




Although many of us would consider yeast could be the enemy, especially those of us that have suffered from yeast infections, it is not really true. Yeast is present in the world around us and it is thought that almost everyone has yeast present in the body, at least to a small degree. It is only whenever our body is allowed to get out of balance that the yeast grows to the point where it actually becomes an infection. This can cause a lot of uncomfortable problems for us and unfortunately, it may also become chronic rather easily.

The reason why chronic yeast infections are so prevalent is because many of us are treating them in the wrong way. It is an easy thing for us to run out to the drug store as soon as we recognize that we have a yeast infection and buy some over-the-counter cure. Unfortunately, this does not actually cure the problem that is causing the yeast infection but it only knocks the yeast down to numbers that are comfortable for us to have in our body. What it leaves behind, however, is the real problem with recurring yeast infections. Only the stronger yeast is allowed to remain so whenever it grows into another infection, it is much stronger than before. Eventually, it becomes an infection that is unable to be cured by over-the-counter medication.

If you are dealing with a yeast infection for the first time or even if you have chronic yeast infection, a natural cure is really the only way for you to truly get rid of it once and for all. The reason why this is the case is because natural treatments will attack the problem of the yeast infection, not the symptoms. One of the best ways for you to be able to treat a yeast infection naturally is by using yogurt.

The type of yogurt that you use to treat your yeast infection is important. Don't simply choose something from off of the grocery store shelf, it often contains preservatives and sugar which actually feed the yeast infection that you are suffering from. Choose an organic, natural yogurt and eat it every day. If you are currently suffering from a vaginal yeast infection, dip a tampon in the yogurt and insert it. It will help you to bring the body back into the balance that it needs and promote the growth of good bacteria that will keep the yeast in check.

My doctor has actually suggested this to me. She told me to try using PLAIN yogurt. The natural bacteria in it helps get rid of the overgrowth of yeast. And I don't believe that you will get maggots inside of you if you put yogurt there. You need flys to get maggots. So unless you're letting flys get access to down there I don't think you have anything to worry about. I understand this isn't for you, only a question from reading another post but, if you ever get one and if you have health insurance. Go to your doctor and ask about Diflucan. It's only 4 dollars at walmart pharmacy! Much easier and cheaper than the OTC treatments.

  • Yogurt has live cultures than can kill the bacteria causing the itch.
    There is a much more efficient way to take care of that though. Get some Monistat that has a little tube of anti-itch cream with it.
    The Monistat will have the yeast infection gone in no time, and the cream really relieves the itch.

  • that's kind of an old remedy. it's suppose to neutralize the ph of the vag. but it has to be plain yogurt with live cultures to be beneficial... not like the strawberrry yoplait or anything haha. so i guess you could try it, or you could just take a lactobacillus and use an otc cream.

  • Yes, you're supposed to eat the yogurt. I wouldn't put yogurt there because the yogurt likely has a lot of sugar in it, and that feeds the yeast. Instead, go to a pharmacy and get Monistat to treat the yeast infection. Nowadays, they have, in addition to the suppositories, a bit of extra cream to spread around your vulva to relieve itching by killing the yeast.

Eating Garlic for Yeast Infections



Sometimes, the solution to a problem is so simple that we tend to overlook it. This is often the case whenever we have health problems and far too many of us simply run out to the drugstore and try to find a pharmaceutical cure. Although this may make us feel better for a little while, one of the main problems that these pharmaceutical methods have is that they don't really get to the root of the problem. Instead of solving what is going wrong with our body, they really only help to cover over the symptoms so that we tend to ignore what is actually going on.
This is the case whenever it comes to yeast infections. It is so easy to go out and buy some cream at the drugstore which will take care of that yeast infection that most people just tend to do that. Unfortunately, it does little for us and it may actually have an adverse side effect where each successive yeast infection becomes stronger, eventually resulting in a super infection which is impossible to treat. It's really a shame because it is possible for you to fight off a yeast infection with some very common foods, such as garlic.
People have been eating garlic for thousands of years for its healing properties. Although some people tend to avoid garlic and because of the social effects that it may have on them, it can actually be quite good for you. Eating a clove of garlic every day, especially one that is all natural can have amazing effects on your health that are very easy for you to identify. It may also help to bring your body into a balance for it is able to fight off the yeast on it's own, simply because yeast hates garlic and cannot reside in the same area with it.
If you are dealing with a vaginal yeast infection, you may actually be able to give yourself a little bit of immediate relief by inserting a garlic tab directly into the vagina. You would need to make sure that it is all natural because you would not want to irritate this sensitive area with chemicals. Most people experience immediate relief from the itching and burning of a yeast infection whenever they do this. Over the course of time, it also helps to remove the yeast infection from our body naturally.

Garlic for Yeast Infections...?

I have read a lot of testimonials about using garlic to cure a yeast infection... well i am simply not comfortable with inserting a clove of garlic in my glory hole for a few reasons... but I would be willing to eat the garlic. Does this work just as well? and how should i eat it or prepare it?
Thanks!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

I have read that too, but also would never stick a veggie in my vagina, for any reason. Boy that could make oral sex fun. Anyway, why don't you just get some Monistat or Vagisil and treat the traditional way? If you want to eat the garlic, eat it raw, I guess.

good luck..

asides from garlic..I heard eating lots of yoghurt (plain) will keep yeast infections to a stand still. Or someone told he inserting a yoghurt laced tampon in for 1 hr or 2 may help speed up healing. I didnt try it..but that's what some women suggest. Or drinking NON sugar cranberry juice will definately help.
