Foods not an issue: You may eat a regular balanced diet. Foods are not likely to affect vaginal yeast infection. See this site for more information. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/pmh0002480/.

Candida diet: Diets that are low in sugar and carbohydrates but high in raw garlic and probiotics can help keep yeast infections at bay. Herbal supplements such as Pau D'Arco (tincture or capsule form) or the Candida-Cleanse by SolaRay may be helpful.
