A member asked:

Can you get a yeast infection from eating yogurt?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yogurt: No. The opposite happens. One gets a yeast infection because the friendly bacteris in the intestines gets killed. The best example is when one takes antibiotics. Yogurt harbors the friendly bacteria and replenishes the normal bacteris that are lost.
