Candida overgrowth is a common Western ailment. try taking acidophilus supplements (that's capsules of the bacteria that make yogurt). it's a friendly bacteria that thrives on the same substances that keep the yeast alive. also, stay away from bread and beer and yeast supplements as well as refined sugars, including soft drinks, until you're over the infection. drink a lot of water, too. you can find acidophilus at the health food store. it's best to get the kind that need refrigeration.
