I think I am getting a YI

TeacherVicky · January 2011

I have been on antibiotics since last week for my cold, which my dr suspected became a sinusitis.

Now I think I am getting a YI. Sad

I used to always get Diflucan prescribed when I would get a YI. Last time I used Canesten and I am quite certain I am allergic to it... it was unpleasant, to say the least.

I should've just eaten the plain yogurt like my sister (my pharmacist) suggested.

Are there any natural remedies out there that work?

Yogurt, acidophilus

I put acidophilus powder in my smoothie each morning. In pregnancy, you're more prone to YIs.

I'd call my Dr. and ask about Monistat or something for right now to clear it up, and then use the above to prevent.

I have no idea, but other than that how are you feeling? Hopefully all is going well

I've never heard of this. Do you buy it at a health food store?

Yes. It's naturally present in yogurt (it's the active cultures), but you can purchase it in pill form or powder form. It also helps keep your digestive tract on track.

I didn't know this will totally have to look into this.

Boo for YI, but yay for no spotting!

I've never had a YI ::knocks on wood:: so I don't have any advice for ya. Hope it doesn't come!

Acidophiles is wonderful. I prefer to get the kind in the refrigerated section, but you'll likely need to go to a health foods store for that. The refrigerated ones seem to act faster and more efficiently.

Also trying "airing out" regularly. Such as sitting completely commando under a fan for 20 minutes or so after a shower. Since you're having issues, you'll likely need to do it a couple of times a day. It helps to dry out some of the excess moisture and some women swear by it for helping to prevent the constant YI they tend to get in pregnancy.

Dang girl! I'm sorry! I've never had a YI so I don't have any advice. I'd call your doc or put in a call to your sis!
