Does yogurt helps yeast infections?

[itcouldhappen]

I read on yahoo about women who dip a tampon in plain yogurt, and insert it in their vagina's when they have a yeast infection. I dont want to do that. I never stick a tampon in unless I have AF. Does yogurt help the yeast infection if you eat it instead? DH is buying me some vagisil(sp) on his way home. I have plenty of yogurt in the fridge.... will it help? This is the first yeast infection I've ever had. Its strange after TTC, I suddenly got a yeast infection. Heh.

Yes, that's it, but you can also get the cream instead of the supposatories (sp??).  I too am allergic to the OTC medicines so I have to get a prescription from my doc.  There is a pill call Diflucan that you can take but your doctor would have to prescribe it for you.  It's just 1 pill that you take 1 time.  I've used it a few times and it has worked for me.

I don't know about dipping a tampon, but I know eating yogurt is supposed to help. I am allergic to most of the creams and thus usually have to get a prescript from Dr, but friends tell me that monistat 1 works wonders. It is quick and easy to use.
