I suffered with chronic yeast infections for years. Yeast is in your body at all times, but an infection is an overgrowth of same. It’s your body’s way of telling you that something is out of balance. I didn’t know that back then, and suffered through multiple remedies of pills, washes, suppositories, creams, and even an insertion of plain yogurt, but the infection always came back several weeks later. I pretty much lived with it.

While browsing in a health food store in 2000, a lady followed me around from isle to isle, chatting me up the whole time. I was feeling like she was a bit creepy, and annoying, but we got on the topic of yeast infections, and she recommended that I try the probiotic called bifidum. I was skeptical, but ended up buying a bottle – they were small capsules filled with a white powdery substance. The bottle called it “good bacteria.” To intentionally ingest bacteria sounded strange to me, but after taking it for a month, miraculously, the infections subsided. After years of traditional Western medical treatment, this simple digestive aid resolved my issue. In the ten years I’ve been taking it, I think I’ve only had three infections. Amazing yes? ( Through this amazing experience, I’ve formed a belief that people cross our paths for a reason, no matter how creepy or annoying, so take time to listen, and share.) 

Here is a product to treat and prevent yeast infections Yeast Gard Homepathic Feminine Wash.  The description advertises that it can relieve the symptoms, it’s a compliment or alternative to anti-fungal drugs, contains a probiotic base (yes!!) to balance the ph of the vagina, and can prevent future infections.  Sounds like a God send doesn’t it?  Please make a comment if you’ve tried it, and give your earth sisters some feedback on it.
