Good bacteria cultures in yogurt help yeast infections, doesnt sugar in the yogurt have a counter effect?

I've heard that sugar feeds yeast infections?





So is eating yogurt a good or bad idea to help prevent yeast infections?

You can always purchase sugar free yogurt.





You can also just count the carbs as part of your meal and cover for it.





BTW- no one with diabetes should eat raw milk.We catch infections easier than others who do not have compromised immune systems.


An infection will raise our sugars and thus be harder to control.


No raw honey either.





It is much safer for us to eat foods that have been pasteurized.
Reply:I'm not convinced that the sugar in yogurt feeds the yeast infections, but it surely does play havoc with my glucose readings!!!
Reply:When I eat yogurt I look for plain w/ live cultures ( raw milk kind if available). You do need to pay attention to the sugar content or it will defeat the purpose. Plain is best with fresh fruit and something like wheat germ for crunch.

Good luck





Edit: I am not a doctor, I'm only speaking from personal experience.


I began drink raw/unpasturized milk and eating raw milk yogurt and cheese when I began working for a fomager in a cheee shop. I noticed that my blood readings dropped from 175 fasting in the am to 115-120. I developed no infections, and have always been prone to them, and I had no indigestion which I normally get when drinking milk.


The ability to purchase unpasturized products is becoming easier and many alternative doctors, natropaths %26amp; homopaths, will tell you that raw is better.


In europe and other parts of the world, it's common to find these foods and perfectly healthy.


Of course....speak to your doctor first before starting anything. I did and after giving her information on the benefits and saftey factors enforced on farms that are allowed to sell these products, she agreed and has since recommended it to other patients.


I , also, suffer from no yeasts infections when ingesting raw/unpasteruized products...so for me, it works.


Do the research yourself.....maybe it will, maybe it won't be the right thing for you, but atleast check it out.
Reply:You can easily purchase sugar-free yogurt. It is delicious.
