Fighting yeast for past 3 years
I am lactating and on a estrogen only birth control pill, I also take a probiotic once a day, my husband is intact. We both tend to get a yeast infection at the same time. I have had a yeast flare up almost every other month for the past 3 years. Please advise how to cure. The past week we have been craving sweets, I have been craving fruits and my husband has been craving breads and cookies.sunnymama on 2010-05-31
