PREVENT YEAST: Some women think that eating foods with lactobacillus organisms, such as yogurt will help prevent yeast infections--so far there is no evidence--> but eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nonfat dairy products. Also helpful: wear cotton, avoid douching, control diabetes (or get checked), have good hygiene and avoid 'strong antibiotics'.

Checkup needed: Candida vaginitis is not uncommon following antibiotics, but thrush is a little unusual and would be concerned about your immune system not functioning well. Why are you taking antibiotics? Are they really necessary? What does your doctor who prescribed the antibiotics say? Talk to them.
