Dahlia,

An even better option to eating yoghurt is buying Acidophilus (pronounced acid-off-ilus) capsules or powder from your pharmacy . They are the "good" live bacteria. It might be worth your while taking that regularly, as it contains many. many times more potency than in yoghurt or the drinks on the market.

Thrush is when you get an overgrowth of bacteria in your bowel - because us women aren't designed that well and our bits are really close together compared to men, it easily spreads. Other common reasons you can get thrush are poor diet etc. so don't feel embarassed about going to get it! By taking acidophilus you can help prevent it from happening.

It's usually found in the fridge as it is live bacteria so you may need to ask for it.
