my doctor told me I have a yeast infection. How do people get yeast infections? Is it cleared up easily?

I’ve always been told that yogurt has been good for clearing up yeast infections, but I’m not big on yogurt. In the case that I do ever get one, I was wondering what other foods or drinks might be helpful in clearing them up.

I have a yeast infection and I am miserable. I don’t have health insurance and can’t afford to see a doctor. Will those OTC remedies for yeast infections actually work? I heard that they can cause more burning and itching before actually helping? What has worked for you in your experience?

I know all about monistat and the prescription drugs (I’m one of the unlucky women that gets chronic yeast infections. I’ve already been to the gyn, and she said it’s just something that happens). But how do you deal with the “discomfort” and everything?
