Candida albicans fungi mark their territories during this population boom by causing any of these sensations: burning, itching, soreness, or tingling. Yeast infections can cause serious, sometimes even fatal, diseases. This is particularly true for sufferers with weakened or underdevelope immune systems, diabetes, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)…
Information on yeast infection treatments and preventions are available through online medical journals and medical sites but for highly advanced states of yeast infection it’s always best to consult a physician…
Aside from the fact that yeast infection is treatable, there are also ways to prevent this from ever happening. The best is to drink a glass or two of milk daily as this ensures that there will never be an overgrowth of yeast down.

I have been getting Bacterial Infections for years now. I am also one of women who gets a yeast infection EVERYTIME I take antibiotics. So one infection to another for me!! How irritating!! I noticed that the BV would always reoccur after having sex with my long term partner. I mean it’s like I can literally tell the second I get it. I repeatedly told my Gyno that I believed it was coming from him, he told me that it did not make a difference if the man was treated, that they have researched this and it made no difference. I WAS NOT CONVINCED!!! DR or not, I did not buy it. So after suffering from this for literally years… I finally got a physician to provide him with anitbiotics. I have not had onesince!!! Although I have never used “Rephresh”, I have heard that it is effective in balancing your PH levels out and prevents the reoccuring infections. It seems alot more women are getting them these days. I think it is because men are not aware of this and pass it along without knowing. Hopefully there will be more research and testing done in the very near future so we can eliminate this problem!!!

Oh! But your stomach “feeling like there’s a poison inside it” would not be from the BV.
That could be from something else entirely, but it could very likely be related to taking a lot of antibiotics,

Definition of the word BIOTIC:

1. Of or having to do with life or living organisms.
2. Produced or caused by living organisms.
[Probably Greek bitikos, from bitos, life, from bioun, to live, from bios, life)

So, ANTI-biotics, do what? Kill off living organisms.
Your intestines have millions of living organisms inside them, some good and some bad.
Antibiotics will kill your helpful friendly bacteria, which hurts your immune system.

PRO-biotics are such things as acidolphilus, etc. that when taken regularly will rebuild your system.

Also, a gentle intestinal cleanser such as psyllium fiber can help to clean out your digestive system if it is blocked. I always take psyllium with a lot of water when I have digestive upsets.

I have been dealing with yeast and bacterial vaginosis every month for over 4 years.
I am finally getting relief.
I have tried soooo many different things from natural remedies to antibiotic pills, cremes, and gels.

Antibiotics just seem to keep the cycle going by killing off your good bacteria and fighter cells, leaving one infection just to start up another infection.
Medicinal Douching (with herbs) is recommended, but the influx of that much water just seems to make it worse for me, so I apply small amounts with a Q-tip.

Here are things that made drastic differences for me
for both bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections:

***All of these are diluted w/purified water and applied internally to the vagina with a Q-tip***

I keep the diluted mixes in the fridge in new/clean jars or glass bottles with lids.

-Apple cider vinegar (diluted)
alternating with applying acidophillus powder mixed with water (from a capsule- $10 for 90 capsules) Try Primadophilus Nature’s Way brand or Multidophilus from Solaray

and/or

-Tea Tree oil (one drop is strong enough when diluted w/water)
alternating with applying acidophillus powder

and/or

- Hydrogen peroxide (diluted or full strength). Hydrogen peroxide is naturally produced in the vagina as part of the cleaning process, and acidophilus is a naturally present health helper in the vagina

and/or

-Yin Care Herbal Wash, cheapest on: taoofherbs.com

and/or

-Chien Chin Chih Tai Wan, Great Wall brand of Chinese herbs in pill form

-Acupuncture has helped a great deal in combination with the all of the above

Emotional stress makes my symptoms worse.
Cut back on sugar, as this taxes the immune system and also feeds yeast cells.
Bulk up your immune system on a regular basis with Vitamin C, Folic acid, and a good brand of Acidophilus (I prefer Nature’s Way Brand PRIMADOPHILUS)

BEST ONE SO FAR FOR YEAST: RAINBOW LIGHT Brand CANDIDA CLEANSE, taken first thing in the morning EVERY DAY to ensure best absorption on an empty stomach
I use the Rainbow Light in conjunction with
Enzymedica Brand “Virastop” or their “Candidase”

Here are some more sites, with the same cures, but more details:

i beleive you are either not taking the meds long enough to get rid of it, or you are having sex with the same person without a condom. if your having sex at all, you should be using a condom. go back to the doc and find out if you are taking the meds right or if there is something else stronger he/she can put you on. goodluck.
