Yeast infections can be very uncomfortable. Sometimes the itching and discomfort can get so bad it is difficult to go about your daily routine. Wouldn't it be great if there were an easy remedy instead of having to make an appointment at the medical clinic and go through all that hassle?
In fact, you may have an infection remedy in your kitchen right now. You may not even need to go to the store to get relief.
Before we start talking about remedies, it will help if you know a little about how these infections work. These infections are caused by bacteria we harbor in our bodies all the time... Candida albicans. Usually Candida behaves itself, and helps us fight off the other nasty bugs out there.
When there is an imbalance in the body, Candida can grow out of control causing an infection. Imbalances can be caused by illness, stress, anxiety, diabetes or the consumption of too many foods that break down into sugars in the body.
Foods that do this are anything sugary and carbohydrates. If you balance these foods with protein and vegetables, the chances of developing a food-related yeast infection will drop.
