What are some ways to prevent recurring vaginal yeast infections for someone who gets them quite easily (besides probiotic)?

Recurrent yeast: First, make sure you have had a normal fasting sugar level. You should always remain dry, getting out of the pool, etc. Change int dry clothes. See your physician and do not keep using over the counter meds and make sure you have the right diagnosis. Take all irritants away and lastly I use boric acid capsules made at the pharmacy twice daily for 10 days to change the vaginal ph to help.

Treat intestines!: Recurrent vaginal yeast is usually caused by yeast overgrowth in our intestines, known as intestinal candidiasis, a common side effect of antibiotics & hormones.This is treated with a low starch diet, probiotics & antifungal drugs or herbs.
