HollyDay Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I just got put on Keflex for the next 5 days and I DO NOT want a yeast infection. So, which is better, kefir or yogurt?? I just started a probiotic last night, but Keflex "being older than dirt" (quote from the pharmacist) must be taken every 4-6 hours, unlike the newer more modern antibiotics. So, I cant get a good time span between probiotic and antibiotic. Suggestions?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoPlaceLikeHome Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I recommend Stonyfield farm yogurt which I read has the right kind of bugs to help. Kefir is also excellent. I try to use both to help strengthen my immune system. I read on a reputable web site, probably WebMD or the like, that yogurt like Stonyfield Farm can help to prevent colds. Since I have been taking it the past 6 months, I have managed to escape colds even when I worked in a high risk area as a RN:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Kefir, if it's good quality...is better...Probiotics should be the best, right? Also, you'll want to have one with either no sugar or low sugar...as you know...sugar feeds yeast... Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I believe kefir is better. Its also easier to make (doesnt need to be at a particular temperature- can sit out on the bench). Ive stopped buying yoghurt- we just use kefir now. However, I suspect you mean store bought- we cant get kefir in the stores here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
