I would send Matia an email.  In the meantime, you can put plain yogurt on the itching uncomfortable areas.  Matia approved of using yogurt to ease the discomfort caused by yeast.  I don't think she approves of using perscription untifungals.  She should be able to get it under control using herbs/probiotics.

In my particular IC  case- yeast plays a HUGE role and I am dealing with it alot-so it is not werid to have a yeast infection in your gut and in your tissues of your bladder or vagina and then get like an exacerbated ( aggravated) acute yeast infection while dealing with dieoff. First time for everything! I reckon though with some folks their IC or VV is more bacterial? anyway  As a general rule when working with other caregivers I always kind of run things by Matia if they give me a prescription to take- ( maybe i dont even need it?)  and I'm glad I do this because I saved myself from weeks of flaring more than once!ie- when I cut my finger really really badly and was trying to heal it - the doctor wanted to put antibiotic ointment on it and give me a tetanus shot. I refused the shot cause it would have flared me for a LOOOOOOONG time and because the cut was very clean and with a freshly sterilized from the dishwasher knife. Matia told me to pour goldenseal powder in the cut and it healed lightning fast in about 11 days to totally new skin with no scab. It was insane. No infection and barely a scar. I have feeling back in the tissue as well. I always check with her   because her proticol is so so specific  and strict I don't want to jepardize the delicate process. so far its been working out well. But since everyone is different in what they could handle and all that I think  She could tell you for sure if its safe for you to take them.  I have had really virulent yeast infections that cropped up during treatment! It's pretty normal and to be expected as this treatment addresses yeast and it dies off and comes out  and the herbs are addressing it in its source ( GI tract). Taking a prescription would only address the symtpoms and not really get rid of it totally yeast can be a pretty deeply embedded thing sometimes and if you take the over the counter stuff it might affect your treatment in a negative way. You gotta wonder -if we are aren't supposed to eat certain foods than can you imagine how an anti- fungal medication might feel? WHOA!  I would imagine the yeast infection - It's probably a positive sign of your treatment process. Email matia to be sure- like ask her about the stuff you were prescribed for the yeast and what you could do intead if its not a good idea.  but I don't think she would say to take the over the counter stuff or the prescription stuff-  the yeast infection is probably just a temporary but irritating thing. and Matia probably has a great method to get some releif or maybe she can tweak your formula to address the yeast more?  I have used plain yogurt before applied to irritated tissues for releif. They have always passed( acute yeast infection) without me taking any OTC or  diflucan stuff. I hope you get some releif and healing! Mary

I got a RAGING yeast infection 2 years into my treatment... It was sooo bad.. I had to keep ice packs on it and I literally could only wear skirts with no underwear.  It was horrible.  I got a diagnosis from my gyn and she was really supportive of Matia.  She gave me the Rx for diflucan if I wanted it... I never took it... For about 3-5 days I was in AGONY... but Matia got me through it... At that time I NEVER deviated from list one or two.  Do not do anything on your home such as a home remedy because it can really screw you up.  I have had people from Whole Foods try and suggest their "home remedies" to me twice and stupidly followed them... The "herbalists" there don't have a clue.  Email Matia... Getting the yeast infection actually probably is a good thing with the yeast exiting the body.
