My doctor wants me to take antibiotics for a sinus infection for four to six weeks. What can I take to ward off diarrhoea and yeast infections?
Many members of GG report that taking Acidophilus, the bacteria from yoghurt that keeps the diarrhoea away, in capsule form works well. Buy it at the health food store. Only buy the kind that is refrigerated and keep it in the refrigerator. Acidophilus will prevent a yeast infection. Immodium is also said to be OK. Claudia Marek, Dr St Amands assistant, also recommends using boric acid capsules intravaginally for yeast infections. These are not systemic, so you do not kill off the beneficial intestinal flora that is normal. Take size 0 gelatine capsules (available from pharmacies and health food stores) and fill them with boric acid powder from the pharmacy. Some pharmacies will even do this for you. Use them intravaginally twice a day for a week. If you need to, you can follow this with twice a week when necessary, if you get yeast frequently or premenstrually. Dr. Willems says that even women with vulvodynia can use them and he feels that they are the best treatment for vaginal yeast
