The best person to see would be a qualified and reputable Naturopath who deals with women's issues - not your GP. Modern medicine only goes so far with candida and isn't a permanent soloution.
The best natural things to do that have worked for me are to :
* Cut down on your sugar intake - sugar encourages yeast to grow in your body
* Avoid ANYTHING with yeast - especially bread! Check all processed foods ingredient lists to make sure they're ok.
Eg. Original flavour doritos are fine but Nacho Cheese doritos have yeast plus a whole heap of other things.
* If you must eat bread try corn tortilla's or eat sourdough bread that creates it's own yeast and doesn't have any added. Always avoid white starchy processed bread.
* Avoid any foods that may have mould in them, aged cheeses (stick to younger ones like mozzarella) mushrooms etc
* Take acidpholous tablets (available at your chemist in the refrigerated section) They help to promote good bacteria in your body.
* Drink heaps of water
* Avoid alcohol - it does the same thing as sugar
* Avoid any cured or pickled foods - eg ham, salami - essentially the more processed food is the worse it is for candida
* Not sure where you live but I'm in Australia where we have a priduct called Vegemite which is essentially made out of a yeast extract - avoid anything like this (similar to marmite and promite)
Finally, eat heaps of vegetables!
Have a look at the sites listed in the sources section. Good Luck!

Go to your Doctor and get a very strong antibiotic. Home remedies won't do.
totally agree - home remedy don't work on that nasty stuff
Go get seen. You need to find out the underlying cause of the infection. You are correct, you need antifungal medication. Don't wait.
You have to use an antifungal, not an antibiotic unless there is an infection, of course.
