Answer:
1.Vitamin C and echinacea help the body fight an acute yeast infection by strengthening the immune system.
2.Garlic extract is another immune stimulator and infection fighter.
3.Acidophilus contributes "good" or pro-bacteria that can hold down the yeast population. It's especially helpful when the yeast infection is the result of antibiotic use. For best results take it orally as capsules/powder.
4.Avoid sugars. Some doctors strongly recommend you cannot have ANY sugar or grains at all on a program and should also eliminate all fruit until the symptoms resolve. Others are less strict and suggest avoiding foods high in simple carbohydrates such as refined sugars (sucrose, fructose, corn syrup), fruit juices, honey, and maple syrup. Limit intake of high carbohydrate vegetables such as potatoes, corn, yams, and parsnips. How strict you need to be will have to be discovered.
Avoid foods with a high content of yeast or mold including alcoholic beverages, cheeses, dried fruits, melons, and peanuts.
Avoid milk and milk products with a high content of lactose.
Avoid all known or suspected allergic foods.
Foods that can be eaten freely include all vegetables, protein sources (legumes, fish, poultry, and meat), and whole grains.
Two to three one-cup servings of the following fruit can be eaten per day as well: apples, blueberries, cherries, other berries, and pears.
The most severe cases seem to be associated with the presence of mercury amalgam fillings.

Plain yogurt
Acidopholous (supplements)
Limit the use of antibiotics (if possible)
Weird anxiety-related problem...?
Keep it clean, keep it dry.
soap and water, get rid of the thongs.
Eat yougurt and drink cranberry juice and lots of water. Keep the area clean. After showering, dry the area completely. Wear loose clothing and cotton underwear. If possible, (I know this is not possible in many households, especially if there's kids or nosy siblings!) lie naked for about a half hour each day to air out the body.
Avoid sex. The infection can be agitated and transmitted to your partner.
Good luck!
Avoid sweets and refined sugars. Cranberry juice cocktail is often full of added sugars.
Garlic is an excellent all around remedy to apply locally (use a string) and has no bad side effects other than maybe odor.
Pay lots of attention to hygiene - and your partner should too. Insist on hand washing at least before you go to bed.
Clean, dry, loose fitting clothes. Cotton underwear and pants.
