What is the safest medicine to use for a yeast infection if I am pregnant?

Answer 1

Many cultured and sour products contain the friendly bacteria that will prevent yeast infections. Yogurt can be a good source, but you need to shop carefully. Many mass-produced yogurt products just don't have enough of the bacteria you need. Look for one of more of these Latin names: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Strepococcus thermophilus. Make sure the label lists yogurt cultures as being live, living or active. Buy unsweetened yogurt only since sugar encourages the growth of Candida albicans, which is yeast. Drink 8 glasses of pure water a day to help flush yeast toxins out. Avoid sugar and yeast, food with mold (such as cheese, nuts and nut butters). Avoid any foods loaded with sugar. Reduce the use of fruits and fruit juices. Consume foods such as garlic, onions, chlorella, spirulina, wheatgrass, and others that are known to support detoxification. Of course, you need to see a doctor and get his/her advice, but you can also take oregano oil 300-500 mg capsule or liquid 3 times daily with meals; probiotic 30 mins after meal; garlic 500-1000 mg 2 times daily; and grapefruit seed extract 200 mg 2-3 times daily. You should definitely talk to your doctor about this before you do anything. Many cultured and sour products contain the friendly bacteria that will prevent yeast infections.
