no, Have you not tried probotics? Probotics prevent yeast infections well while on an anti. I am on long term antibiotics and stopped taking diflucan and instead am taking a high dose of acidophilus and I don't believe I have gotten a yeast infection for a while..certainly not any bad ones.
Here are some other ideas. I hope you feel better Kim

EAST LIST: Boric Acid, Aci-gel (insert it at night, it maintains the ph of the vagina & yeast can't live when there's an acidic environment - or can use apple cider vinegar in water TAKE CAUSION IF YOUR URETHRA IS SENSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!) and also washing externally with tea-tree oil diluted in water. \acidopholous tablets, a wet towel with s AZO yeast, http://www.ghtbiz.net/rescue/nocandida/lead.html, Any probotics, Flora-Q The Flora-Q is made by Kenwood Therapeutics. It contains Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus paracasel, and Streptococcus thermophilus -- these are all bacteria that normally live inside your digestive tract. What you do is take a capsule a day for a few days during antibiotic treatment and then a couple afterwards, and this replaces your normal flora, making it much less likely to to get yeast infections. http://www.ic-network.com/iclifestyles/july01.html list of ideas (Nystatin, Diflucan by prescription.)

I also take probiotics. Ever since I started, I have not gotten a yeast infection - even while on antibiotics. They also seem to help my IBS problems.
