Just started a probiotic, now I have a yeast infection?!?

I thought these were supposed to help me get less infections? Maybe things get worse before they get better?? I haven't had a yeast infection in a looong time so it just seems like the probiotic has something to do with it, or this is just a coincidence... What do you think?

THE FACTS: Why a Yeast Infection Happens, Symptoms of a Yeast Infection & How to Cure it Fast

Candida is a bacterial fungus that lives in both men and women.

More specifically called Candida Albicans, this fungus thrives in the digestive tract (as well as the vagina in women) and lives in harmony with acidic bacteria called Acidophilus.

The acidophilus, being an acid regulates the Candida Albicans (a base).

When people eat certain foods like complex sugars, the Candida Albican multiply and change the balance between the Candida and Acidophilus in the body.

Suddenly, the acidophilus can no longer regulate the outnumbering Candida.
This creates what is commonly known as Candida Overgrowth or a Yeast Infection.

The symptoms (you may not experience all of them):
- white cottage cheese-like discharge
- some odor
- dryness (can cause bleeding)
- digestive problems
- itchiness
- burning urination
- painful intercourse
- a feeling of just not being "normal"


Here are some safe, natural cures you can implement.

- avoid scented soaps
- avoid sugars and complex carbs for a week
- air out the infected area while you're sleeping at night
- add grapefruit extract to your water during the day (balances hormones)
- eat probiotics like cottage cheese and yogurt
- shower frequently
-drink lots of water and eat plenty of fiber to flush the infection

I do not think the probiotic is related to the yeast infection....it does not contain nor feed the fungus of a yeast infection....I would think it is more of a coincidence

Probiotics are added to food to add to the flora of the gut and help in digestion. The fact that you got a yeast infection is just coincidental.

i hate math! ahhh good luck bro
