Over the years, we've had many of our readers ask us how to stop recurring yeast infections from happening. This is a common issue that many women are facing today. You know the scenario: You notice that familiar itching in your genital area and reach for the handy prescription or over the counter anti-fungal cream in your medicine cabinet. The medicine seems to do it's job and then a week or two later, it's back and your itching and burning like crazy once more. Why isn't the prescription cream working to permanently solve the yeast issue? Well, it's likely that the cream is only attacking the localized problem, which is actually a symptom and result of a larger yeast problem happening within your body. You see, yeast like to establish colonies in and on the body whenever and wherever they can. This is how they can get a foothold, so to speak, and begin to branch out from there, looking for more places to colonize. Hence, the vaginal area is prime real estate given it's ph environment, which then gives way to recurring yeast infections. You see, yeast colonies look for highly acidic ph areas in the body in order to thrive, and the most obvious and classic part of the body that these colonies will start is within the intestine. Now, there will always be a certain amount of yeast that the human body will have at any time in and on the body and this is normal and not usually a problem. The problem comes when the yeast become overgrown due to a disruption in the delicate ph balance of the body, as well as a few other key factors that help keep the body in natural harmony. So, knowing this, the best way to stop recurring yeast infections is to attack the yeast colony at it's root. This would be within your intestinal tract. How do we do this? Well, this article would be way too long to detail step by step how to do that but let's take a look at the bullet points of a plan of action. This following information is taken from Linda Allens Yeast Infection No More eBook which is available for immediate download here. Step 1: Kill off the yeast colonies that live within the gut. This is essentially the number one source of why you are having recurring yeast infections. This is the 'mothership' if you will of the yeast organism responsible for the recurring vaginal yeast infections. You do this by starving the yeast of their primary food source which is sugar. You also make the ph environment unbearable for them to stand by avoiding high ph foods for a time such as alcohol, sugar, dairy, wheat products and fermented foods. I know, doesn't sound like fun does it? This is critical however for permanent relief. Step 2: Next step is to support your body as the Candida yeast begin to die off. Many people will go through a phase where they feel worse on this diet for a short period in the beginning. This is because the yeast is dying off at a rapid rate and if the colonies were well established and numerous, the die off phase of the yeast may cause temporary discomfort. Best thing to realize if this is happening is that it's a great thing and step 1 is working. Moderate exercise and taking probiotics and eating fresh healthy green vegetables and live foods will help your body through this phase. Step 3: Repairing the intestinal environment. Taking specific vitamins and minerals during and after the Candida cleanse is a great way to support the repair work that is needed after the colonies are eliminated. Candida can do a number on the walls and lining of the intestinal tract, sometimes even leading to leaky-gut syndrome. Not to worry, the body is very intelligent and knows how to repair this if given the proper time and environment to do so. Some helpful supplements are L-glutamine, vitamin C, and strong probiotics in the capsule form. This is just the outline of a proper Candida cleanse and is a great foundation on how to stop recurring yeast infections from happening ever again. The process can take months for some, depending upon the severity of the Candida infection. For myself, it took 4 months of a strict no sugar, no dairy, no wheat and no alcohol or fermented foods. If you are serious about eliminating recurring yeast infections and some of the horrible symptoms that having Candidiasis comes with, then it's recommended that you do your body the favor and have a look at this 5-step Candida Cleanse System to eliminate Candida for good. It details some of the best practices I have ever found on eliminating Candida and even includes a 60-day money-back guarantee if you decide it's not for you. I hope you've found some great tips on tackling yeast infections and begin to see the positive changes that come from eliminating Candida.
