I have what feels like a yeast infection. I emailed Dr B & she told me to use plain yogurt vaginally. I know this may be graphic... Lol but can anyone explain how I am supposed to do this & if you have did it help any???

Hi Amy,
 
I did the yogurt thing a long time ago and remember 2 options- dip a tampon in the yogurt and then insert it or fill a tampon applicator with yogurt and do it that way. 
 
 
I also used to use a capsule of probiotic, which was far less messy.  I guess that we'd have to check w/ Matia about that option, and switch the probio from veg caps to gel caps.  So complex! 
 
It definitely worked for me in the past but I never had too terrible a yeast infection. 
 
Hope you feel better soon!

go to a pharmacy and buy an empty vaginal applicator, then fill it with yogurt, if you wear a sanitary towel that helps with the mess.

I hope the yougurt trick worked for you, I had some decent results when I did it. I found this book at http://lifereturn.com/ that fully got rid of my yeast infection though, I'm sure it would work for you too.

I do feel better especially since I started the RP with Mega:) the itching is still pretty intense!
