Do garlic pills cure yeast infections?

i just got some from right aid

Sure doesn't. See a doctor and get some real medicine before it becomes a big problem. I may not know about yeast infections, but I know about quack medicine and this it.

Wow, that is a big question. There are several things that you can do. Avoid pasta as it turns into sugar when digested and sugar is a very big no-no when there are yeast problems. Drink lots of water. Avoid soda, coffee and chocolate. Eat lots of yogurt and purchase a pro-biotic at a health food store. Probiotics actually feed the good bacteria in the body that will eat the candida which causes yeast infections. Eat vegetables and proteins, fruit is okay in moderation. Avoid juices as these all have a high sugar content. Yes garlic is good.

Two links below have more good information and the first answers the garlic question.

There are books on this subject as well because you might be prone to these types of infections.

Alternative medicine is alternative because it has not been proven to work, or it has been proven not to work. There is precious little evidence to support the efficacy of garlic, either oral or topical, for yeast infections.

Natural does not equal safe, and there are several safety issues, side effects, interactions and warnings associated with garlic. Please see this link: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/drugi...

Alties never tell you this stuff. I suggest a chat with your pharmacist or doctor for best advice on evidence based treatments. A doctor will check for underlying causes of the condition. Good luck.

NO. But Swanson Vitamins has a Yeast Defense Essentials product that may help (go to Swanson Vitamins.com). Also, try eating yogurt twice a day, and avoid sugar containing foods and products. A douche with yogurt may help.
