| Susceptibility to yeast
infections can be caused by increased stress, pregnancy, diabetes, antibiotics
and some birth control pills. Recurrent yeast infections may be from a
relapse due to incomplete cure (Stopping medication prematurely); infection
with a resistant strain; an alteration in the immune response system due
to stress; re-infection from your partner; or infecting ones self from
a mouth or rectal infection. Avoid recurrent yeast infections by: using
all the medication; seeing your doctor if over the counter preparations
don't eliminate the infection; having your partner checked and treated
if necessary; practicing scrupulous hygiene; wearing absorbent cotton underwear;
eliminating white flour, sugar, artificial sweeteners, alcohol, and dairy
products from your diet; decrease stress. Acidophilus taken as a tablet
or in yogurt may be beneficial. |

underestimated in the cause of some illnesses and infections. You may need
to find ways to reduce the stress your stress as much as possible by: increasing
your physical activity; sharing your concerns with your partner or a friend;

include: get plenty of sleep; exercise to help relieve stress and build
