Yes - it is true that eating active yogurts (with real bacteria inside) can reduce the symptoms of a yeast infection. This is b/c yogurt contains healthy bacteria that promote the growth of the healthy intestinal flora. Most people don't know it, but yeast growth actually BEGING in the intestines. What we experience as a vaginal yeast infection is actually a manifestation of this. So, check for an active yogurt.... not just the sugary ones with flavors. Or, you can try acidophilus, which can tend to be expensive, but is like a mega-dose of the bacteria that is found in yogurt. You'll need to use it regularly.

Other helpful and natural alternatives for treating Yeast Infections include Vitamin D tablets and watching your intake of bread (which contains yeast) and other sugar (pastas, rice, etc.) Good luck!
