Could be your diet.

Vaginal yeast infections occur when new yeast is introduced into the vaginal area, or when there is an increase in the quantity of yeast already present in the vagina relative to the quantity of normal bacteria.

If you have diabetes mellitus or are pregnant or taking oral contraceptives (birth control pills) or antibiotics you may get an infection. The use of douches or perfumed vaginal hygiene sprays may also increase a woman’s risk of developing a vaginal yeast infection. Improper ventilation – say wearing nylons too long, tight pants, etc, can contribute to getting an infection.

Consider going on a yeast-free diet, no sugar (as sugar feeds yeast), no alcohol – so no cakes, candy, sweets, etc.

*Take Lots of acidophilus/probiotics or eat Unsweetened Yogurt
*Avoid tight jeans and other tight trousers
*Wear cotton underwear during the day
*Wear no underwear to bed
*Put a tsp of apple cider vinegar in a 6-8 ounce glass of water and drink it 2-3 times a day.

I started my new anti-candida diet but I feel worse (only day two) is this normal before I get better?

Question by psychcoach@ymail.com: I started my new anti-candida diet but I feel worse (only day two) is this normal before I get better?
I quite yeast and sugar, upped my vitamin and vegetable intake. How long until I recover (just a ball park)?

Any holistic suggestions?

There is a supplement called Candida Cleanse that works great. Anything that contains garlic or oil of oregano helps. How long it takes to recover varies, usually one to two weeks because you are experiencing what is known as a “die off” effect.

How long can you have a yeast infection before you notice it?

Question by Tina K: How long can you have a yeast infection before you notice it?
Can you have a yeast infection for a few months, and not even notice?

Best answer:

Answer by Hayley
Yeast infections cause extremely noticeable itching and burning about 1 or 2 days after they begin
so it is highly unlikely that you can go a few months without noticing a yeast infection that you have. You should notice it right away. I hope this helped(:
