Your whole body must have this as well. You need to get some candida yeast cleanse into your system. Anytime a person takes antibiotics it makes a yeast infection in the body. Your entire system is probably engulfed in this since you can't get rid of it. Look online for a good candida cleanse. It is not cheap but it will work. I had the same problem and once I started taking probiotics the yeast problem went away. It takes about two months for the yeast to properly go away.

Have you ever had a food allergy test? There is always the possibility that you have an allergy to yeast. This would explain the recurrence of the infections.

The test is around $900, but most insurance companies pay for it, at the request of your physician. If you don't have insurance, try the ole method of avoiding yeast, bakers and brewers, and see if the symptoms disappear.

The problem with yeast allergies is that the risk of exposure is high, as yeast lurks in a lot of foods, especially condiments, i.e. catsup, mustard, pickles, mayo, etc... Check your labels first, and see what happens. Much luck.

Try not taking anti biotics lots of times, but avoiding yeast containing foods helps too. Avoid sugar/sugary foods too, as yeast thrives on sugar, wear loose clothing and avoid black in the summer. Also you might have a vitamin/mineral dificiency that weakens your body's immune system. For example if you have are anaemic, you're not giving your immune system a fighting chance. Check with your doctor for these.
