Antibiotics can cause yeast infections.  Some othe culprits can be nylons, nylon underwear that don''t have cotton liners. Some say that jeans that are to tight, wouldn't know about that, the baggier the better.

I even heard that wearing "thong" underwear can cause them. LOL. Not sure I believe that one.


Have more cultured food in your diet....like yogurt.
