YI prevention and birth control

[http://users.livejournal.com/-imnotcrazy-/]

im on the pill, and i tend to get a lot of yeast infections. however, i still want to be taking the pill, because that is the only problem i have with the pill and i know it can be treated. even though yoghurt does help, i dont want that to be the only way to prevent the YI. the problem is that i go to boarding school and im gonna be going back soon, and the last thing i need is a series of yeast infections (its a bitch trying to treat it or get to a doctor while im away). my question is, is there any other way to get acidopholous, besides yoghurt? like a supplement? if anyone knows any way of getting it, please let me know.

You can buy it in pill form--just look in the vitamin area of the store. You can also buy cranberry pills, which seem to help as well.

yep. and try to get the acidophilis pills that have to be refrigerated, if you can, because those ones work a lot better.

thank you :). i sometimes take cranberry pills for bladdar infections but i wasnt too sure about for yeast infections. by the way, if you know any specific brands, which supplement would you guys suggest for the acidipholous(like for example i have to take Cranactin cranberry pills..im weird like that..lol)

another ?--how effective are they, compared to yoghurt or creams and such (i forgot to include that in the post)

i take Nature's Way and they've worked pretty well for me.

stick the caplets IN your vagina when you've got a yeast infection, it usually clears mine up within 2-3 days.
