So What Can You Do To Prevent The Side Effects Of The Antibiotic?

Some preventative measures can be taken. Start eating yogurt with live cultures of acidophilus or acidophilus capsules.

Add some garlic to your meals. Garlic is an antifungal food. So some shrimp scampi or other dish can be tasty as well as help your body get back to its natural balance. Look for recipes which minimize your exposure to yeast.

Minimize the stress in your life! Meditation can be a valuable way of decreasing your stress.When we get stressed or overtired it makes it difficult for our body to compensate. Also though it is convenient fast food or junk food doesn’t provide the nutrients our body needs normally, let alone during a stressful time.

Finally if you are a female, be careful with scented products. Douches, feminine hygiene sprays and antibacterial or scented soaps can throw off the ph of our skin and vagina. The change in pH can lead to a chronic yeast infection.

A holistic plan that includes diet, stress level, exercise, and personal products is needed to prevent recurrent or chronic yeast infections. When the plan is set up to fit your life the chronic yeast infections will become chronic no more.
