in general the answer is: yes. but let me clarify a couple of things. first are you positive you have a yeast infection? if the single-dose monistat hasn't improved your symptoms you may be dealing with something other than a yeast infection. you can probably try another over-the-counter product for yeast infection to see if that clears things up. but if it doesn't i'd advise a trip to the doctor for a good diagnosis. contrary to popular opinion eating yogurt with lactobacillus acidophilus cultures generally does not help a yeast infection. some women take lactobacillus acidophilus to help treat bacterial vaginosis but this is not useful. it's true acidophilus is the primary "good" bacteria of the vagina but research shows dairy-based versions of this bacteria generally don't have any effect on the flora of the vagina. also it's worth mentioning some women believe putting yogurt into the vagina will help cure a yeast infection. not true. don't do it. i've not heard of using garlic to treat a yeast infection. again i would not put it in the vagina. that could have serious negative consequences! hope this helps!
