Try another sort of sitz. Another type of sitz bath works well to fend off yeast infections, says Dr. Arkin. Once a month after your menstrual cycle, add three tablespoons of boric acid to six inches of water in a pan large enough to sit in. While you're roosting in your roaster for five to ten minutes, the yeast is in retreat. Lay on the lactobacillus.
Lactobacillus is also available in powder and capsule forms at health food stores.
Take the scratch test. If your yeast infections persist, you may be allergic to Candida, and allergy shots of Candida extract can help prevent further problems. Ask your doctor to refer you to a board-certified allergist for skin testing, Dr. Crandall recommends. Yank yeast from your diet. If you test positive, Dr. Crandall suggests avoiding allergic reactions to Candida by avoiding foods and beverages containing yeast and molds, at least until you have received the allergy shots for about six months.
