my tummy gurgles all the time and has tons of gas bubbles all day
i also have a whitish film on tongue
is it yeast? if so how to get rid of it?i had all this for months now

I have a natural healing book this is the info in it.
candiada albicans yeast grows more rapidly when the body has a lack of iron/magnesium., zinc or vitamin deficiency.
theyeast than obtains these vital mineral and vitamins from foods depriving the body of those nutrients. the result is continuing symptoms of deficiency and a weakened immune system
try to eat abundant fruit and vegetables and whole grains.

Yeast infections usually result form a weakened immune system taking plant extracts of
echinacea/ astragalus/ and siberian ginseng can support you immuine defenses make sure that they are of good quality

To kill yeast once you have an infection try plant based fungicides such as grapefruit seed extract and herbal teas including "mate tea" taking supplements of acidophilus and eating yogurt with live cultures (plain unsweatened 1%) help to restore the good bacteria in your intestine

to avoid reinfection
wash underwear /stockings/ towels in hot water 140 F to kill yeast cells
ware cotton underware(synthetics make yo usweat more the extra moisture provides good growing conditions )
toothbrushes are frequent sources of transmission and reinfectons change your toothbruch every four weeks and more during infections.
use a soap free washing lotion to prevent injury to the skin’s protective acid coating/ be sure to dry your skin very thoroughly after washing.

the reasons for all of these procations is once you have it one place you can spread to others

NOTE:
grapefruit seed extract is a highlyeffective antibiotic and fungicide. it kills candida yeast without harming natureal intestinal flora.
you can get this in capsule form at some pharmacies and health foods stores

If you didn’t have a yeast infection but you took the medicine anyways.

I don’t think anything would happen at all. They are just made to treat a yeast infection. It wouldn’t hurt you at all.


I just got over this. I thought I was going to scratch the skin off my body, and my body was red for a few days after I started taking medicine.

This sounds slightly gross, but I need to know.

My breath sometimes smells like yeast, and my farts are starting to smell like yeast as well. Sometimes my urine also smells yeasty, as well as discharge.

I’ve treated myself with Monostat, with no change. I’ve also tried Pro-biotics, but I ran out, and it seemed to almost cure all symptoms.

Is this a systemic yeast infection? Anyone had this?

And yes, I know, see a doctor.
Systemic Mycosis can cause a variety of problems that follow along with some of my symptoms.

And yes, you can become deathly ill with some types, but not all.

Eat unflavored yogurt. I’ve heard this can help. Keep going with the pro-biotics. Once you’ve had one yeast infection, you are all the more likely to get another. I take an all-natural yeast control vitamin every day for six months, and guess how long it’s been since my last infection? Six months.

I’ve been having yeast infections a lot (like more than once a month) recently and I’m not sure why. I am going to make an appointment with my doctor a.s.a.p but I just curious about the harm they can cause. Can they (over time) damage your uterus and your ability to have children sometime in the future?
Oh and also, has anybody heard of that Candida flush stuff where you take some kind of remedy and it flushes out all the bad Candida and stuff?

Hi, I’m glad you’re going to see your doctor soon. A lot of women treat themselves for yeast infections believing that’s what they’ve got and it turns out to be something else, such as genital herpes or chlamydia.

I think the fact you are getting them twice a month is a little worrying. It could be that you’ve developed an immunity to whatever you are treating yourself with or it could just be that you are not treating yourself for long enough to entirely get rid of the infection. Some women get infected once a month as part of their natural hormonal changes.

There are so many reasons for getting yeast infections and there are different sites of the infection, that to sort it out you really need to discuss fully with your doctor.

Regarding the response from the previous answer. I think she got the cotton and nylon muddled up. You should wear loose fitting cotton underwear, which breathes and absorbs – avoid nylon. While you are treating yourself, consider using an absorbant period pad, one with a dryweave-type cover.

As far as worrying about your ability to have children goes. If it is just thrush, there should be no problem. If the yeast infection is caused by BV (vaginosis) then there is some risk.

My little pug has a yeast infection in the folds of her face and I am looking for an at home remedy to treat it. I am low on money until February and I would prefer to treat this at home.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the yeast infection in a pugs face folds??

PS, If it continually gets worse I will take my pet to the vet. It doesn’t seem to be bothering her right now and if I can treat this without taking her to the vet I want to try it first.
I have some anti fungal cream that is still within the expiry date that I used and came with a yeast infection kit.

Is that ok to apply?? I also heard that yogurt might help…..but for her to eat or to apply to the folds?

Apple cider vinegar works really well. It may not smell that great when you first put it on but the smell goes away very quickly. The best is organic from the health food store. Most grocery store brands aren’t really even vinegar any more. And its about the only thing safe enough to use around the eyes. Be sure you dry the folds out really well after cleaning them that will help also. This might hold you over till you can get to the vet.
EDIT: Please don’t use athletes foot cream around the eyes. You could damage her eye permanently.
EDIT: If its human antifungal cream for a vaginal yeast infection no you can’t use it. Even though it may be yeast in her face folds its not the same kind of yeast. You have to be very careful what you use around the eyes.

How can I get rid of a nasty yeast infection on my dog’s hind quarters? It is smelly and has caused her to loose her hair. She really needs relief. Can you help?

Our dog had the same thing. We had to go to the vet, he gave our dog some meds and some medicated shampoo.

I think that a visit to the vet is in order here.

I’ve read that it is unlikely that a cut guy will ever get one.

no dude, ive been cut for abt 5 years now…havnt had ne such issues. infact it is more hygenic to have a cut dick…guess u gotta make sure that u wash ur penis everytime after sex and urination…or wipe it dry atleast.

Hello All, does anyone know any PROVEN home remedys that will cure a yeast infection. I dont want anything store brand just natural home remedys. Thank you in advance.

Proven home remedies are:
1)wearing clean cotton underwear
2)drinking lots of water
3)Eating yogurt

But more importantly, not eating particular food groups might help you more. Yeast infection is caused by a change in harmones in our body. this could be due to pregnancy, stress or change in eating habits.

While consulting a doctor is always a good idea, some more of the natural remedies which seem to have worked for others can be found at the source.

Please respond especially if you are a medical professional as I cannot be seen by the gynecologist until Monday.

I will list my symptoms and tell me if this is a yeast infection:

–first noticed white discharge
–next, itching and swollen vulva on one side
–after that, burning when I urinate
–swelling on vulva seems to have two tiny white bumps now that are painful when I pee
–foul odor

I started taking acidopholus pills today (took 2 so far) and how long will it take for these to work if it is a yeast infection?

it sounds like a bacterial infection and the doctor will give you flagyl or clindamycin to kill the bacteria for the infection. Acidophilus pills will take awhile to work. Get over-the-counter azoles (Clotrimazole works best) at the moment. Continue to take Acidophilus pills. You are doing the right thing by taking acidophilus pills continue to take them. Please don’t hesitate to go to the emergency room if it becomes progressive. I know it’s uncomfortable. The reason why I believe it’s a bacterial infection is because you have a swollen vulva and two tiny bumps that are painful. That’s an indication that is bacterial. If it gets uncomfortable please don’t hesitate to go to the emergency room. And it also might be a uti, in which case he/she will give you the right antibiotic. Drink Cranberry pills and eat Activia.
