Miss Peregrine Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 If you were using a probiotic capsule 'internally' for a vaginal yeast infection would you expect the capsule to dissolve completely if the ingredients are gelatin, cellulose and magnesium stearate?

TGHEALTHYMOM Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 IDK but I would just take it orally and use Monistat as well as cut out all sugar from my diet immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathnerd Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 IDK too. I was told to use plain yoghurt 'internally' and it supposedly clears the infection effectively - but I did not want to try it. When I get yeast infections, I take the S. Boulardii strain of beneficial yeast along with my regular probiotic. I use the jarrow brand's S.Boulardii. here is the product link: http://www.jarrow.com/product/265/Saccharomyces_Boulardii_MOS ETA: as the PP said, cut out all sugar in your diet (and simple carbs too) until it clears up.

Miss Peregrine Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Thanks. I've done yogurt before but I don't have any right now. I am swallowing the capsules and inserting. I think it is dissolving. It feels better within 10-15 minutes so I hope its working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Peregrine Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 I cut out sugar, too. It just started Sunday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joules Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Couldn't do capsules. Open them up and stir the contents into about a teaspoon of plain unsweetened yogurt and use that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home_s_Cool Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Hope you are better this morning. I've done this a few times and it does dissolve. Seems to cause a slight burning feeling probably since you are applying it directly to the infected area. Yeast Assassin is my favorite oral product for infections.

It feels so much better for several hours then comes back with a vengeance. I heard to use the capsules before bed but I am doing them continuously. I will check out the link, thank you. What is really bothering me is that DH and I stayed in a hotel Sun- Mon for our anniversary. Monday night after we got home is when it started. :/ I don't actually know if it us yeast. I hope. I don't want to think about what else it could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea. Maybe I can get some yogurt today. I hate to use stores on Thanksgiving but this is sort of a pressing matter, right? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbmamaz Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 if you bother going to a store, get some monistat! yoghurt isnt going to help a really bad one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Peregrine Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 The yogurt/ probiotic didn't help too much. I texted DH and he picked some Monistat up for me on the way home at 5 am. <3 What a guy! It is a one time use thing and hoo boy! OMWord I am nearly in tears. This is horrible. I had to go sit through The Nutcracker with my girls this morning. I need to scream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbmamaz Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 The one-dose ones still take a couple of days to work. I prefer the three-day, because the one-day always makes me nervous. It IS awful! I've had chronic infections for decades. The last two years my ob-gyn gives me refillable one-time antifungal pills, which are awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tolerate Monistat or any miconozale. Holy burning pants Batman!!! I use clotrimazole (GyneLotrimin brand name) which is harder to find but doesn't feel like my insides are en fuego! CVS and Walgreens have it but not Target around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea it would do this. I just told DH to get some Monistat for me. He went to sleep and I started feelin' the burn. I looked up the reviews on Amazon. Yep. Some of them were hilarious. If there is a next time I will definitely look for the other brand. DH. Bless. His. Heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have issue with the one day version, the 3 or more days aren't as uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
