A member asked:

Will eating garlic everyday & yogurt cure my candida nothing eles seems to work it keeps coming back n i'm craving sugar can't stop eating it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yeast infection: You sound as if you may be diabetic. Go and get checked. In addition, if you are diabetic that may be the reason your candidiasis continues to recur. Garlic and yogurt will not help. Go and see a doctor and I hope you solve this soon.
