I have a chronic yeast infection & anemia. my doc has me on iron pills & i've read that can make it worse. can i take apo-lactoferrin to help?

Iron and yeast infec: There are numerous associations between iron supplements and yeast infections, although am not aware of any valid scientific evidence that this actually occurs. Would definitely not take apo-lactoferrin, but am certain you can find other opinions that will differ. Good luck and be careful. Stop treating yourself and listen to your doctor.
