Yeast infection cure

Hi,
I'm currently experiencing a yeast infection. I believe this one is caused by some antibiotics I recently took. My doctors are very difficult to get ahold of, unfortunately and I have a very important question. How can I cure my yeast infection WITHOUT USING MONISTAT OR A SUPPOSITORY? Last time I used monistat, it was horrible. I experienced intense internal itching and irritation. I think maybe it was too strong or I'm allergic to an ingredient in it. I've already been tested for stds/sti's and they all came back negative so this is definetly a yeast infection.

Any help would be much obliged! I'd especially appreciate it if anyone had home remedies!
Thanks so much!

Yeah I thought the same thing then all of a sudden I was in extreme itching and discomfort. You also might want to eat yogurt or take probiotics. Candidase is an herbal supplement that breaks down the cell walls of the yeast. It really helped me when nothing else did!

Yes I heard of that oral pill as well. I read that if the symptoms of the yeast infection aren't too bad then I could stick it out and wait for it to clear up on it's own. I think I may do that because I'm sick of doctors lol. Thanks so much!

I don't know about any home remedies. There is an oral pill that you can take (only if you're not pregnant) but I believe it is a prescription. :/
