Jellybean thanku! I never would have thought to insert the inner health plus the yoghurt has a cooling effect though so I guess maybe you could do both.
I'm not drinking alcohol at the moment being pg but I do like acidic type foods eg salad dressings with lots of vinegar and of course very partial to chocolate.
So I'll have to look into that as well you're right it is about balance.
I have had yeast for about 15 years continuously so i can totally understand with how annoying it is... considering i am only 22, that is a looooonnnng time. I have tried everything in terms of 'medicine' that is available at pharmacies both with and without perscription. I have tried the no yeast and sugar diet also about three times....but to no avail i caved.

Now that I am pregant I am trying it again; however i am doing with the aide of natural therapies as well. I am on a super probiotic (inner health plus doesn't work) that you mix the culture and the booster just before you drink it; that way its not old. Because you mix it just before you take it, the good bacteria actually make it down to your intestine where it needs them. with inner health it doesn't usually make it that far.
I also am on other minerals and something called green quay which is like all plant matter in a powder form that you mix with water to drink. which neutralises your acids and stuff... cuz yes as someone said earlier that thrush lives in an acidic environment.

Garlic is a great alkaline food apparently (fresh garlic) so mix that with food... i've been on the diet again for two weeks and i've caved a couple times ... so back to the begining for me
