Verify your yeast: Are these documented yeast infections? By that I mean were tests performed to confirm the yeast. If not, you may not have a yeast infection. In addition, it might be a yeast that will not respond to the usual medications. If confirmed and you do not have an atypical yeast, you should be screened for diabetes and immune disorders. Frequent antibiotic and oral contraceptives can be an issue.

It is treated with a low starch diet, probiotics & antifungal drugs or herbs. See http://huff.to/15mbzAO A holistic or integrative physician can help guide your treatment.
