Ruchie, Kandee's right about candy!! (lol) I think avoiding too much sugar is wise if you have a yeast infection, but sugar didn't cause it in the first place and if sugar and yeasty foods were really so integral to this condition, I'm sure you'd have been cleared of it by now. I'd indulge a little - the mental and emotional benefits will surely out weigh any harm from eating just a little sugar. The probiotics would surely combat a little sugar.
As for the yeast infection itself - I'm assuming this is a feminine infection rather than oral thrush or a fungal skin infection - either way have you tried Grapefruit seed extract (take internally - in capsule form), this is a powerful anti-fungal, proven in clinical trials.
Also aloe vera and tea-tree oil are amazing at killing off yeast infections, I've used them myself to blast away a child's verrucas, a fungal skin infection and vaginal and oral thrush. You can take aloe vera internally (but NOT tea tree) and both can be slapped onto the skin copiously, used in a bath, swished around the mouth (spit it out after!) and (sorry to be so graphic) you can dip a tampon(Tampax) is that what you call them?? into it before inserting. If you're already trying all of the above, let me know and I'll investigate further...
Hope this is helpful Ruchie Shellsbells
