    A well-balanced diet with plenty of fibre can be the best preventative medicine. Wear loose dry clothing and avoid wearing wet clothing for extended periods.

    Women can also take hygienic precautions to decrease the likelihood of developing an infection:

    * Keep your genitals clean and dry, and rinse well after using soap.
    * Avoid vaginal douching after sex.
    * Never put anything in your vagina after it has been in your anus. After using the washroom, wipe from front to back.
    * Avoid vaginal deodorants and perfume products such as soaps that can irritate the vagina.
    * Wear underwear made of cotton instead of synthetic fabrics.

    I've read that there are specific fruits or foods that should likely help to kill this infection could you please enumerate some too?

    I would suggest just taking the medication to rid yourself of the yeast infection and then put yourself on the fibre suggestion. Fibre meaning fruits and vegs.

    You won't get rid of this yeast infection by just going on more fibre; that is a long term solution and not satisfactory in the long run if you have an existing untreated condition. You have to get rid of the yeast infection, as I said, first before it becomes something MORE SERIOUS.

    You'll need to eat a yeast free diet. No sugar and nothing fermented. No mushrooms either. If you Google yeast free diet, you'll get a lot of great info.
