I have overactive yeast and I just recently got off of an antibiotic and I have a yeast infection. I have tried everything from diflucan to Monistat7. Ive ate yogurt and rubbed it on there. I have drank buttermilk and took a bath in it. Nothing has helped. Any thoughts?

go to your obgyn, it could be something worse..
If it is not clearing up with over the counter medications then you need to see a doctor.
Don’t use a soap with the exfoliating beads, wear cotton under ware, no tight jeans, no perfumes, no douching, use the monistat 3 or get a prescription called in from your doctor or question the pharmacists.
it could be a bacterial infection
you absolutely need to see a doctor. This is why:
Monistat might not clear anything up. Its purely a topical anti-fungal. Which simply means you place it where the infection is, and it kills what it touches. If you miss something, it can start right back up again. But, Diflucan is systemic. Which means that it goes into you blood stream and attacks ALL THE YEAST IN YOUR WHOLE BODY.. or at least thats what its suppost to do. Alot of doctors are a small bit hesitant on giving diflucan because your body has a natural balance with yeast on one side of the scale and bacteria on the other side. I would not take another anti fungal without talking to my doctor because if you get rid of ALL the yeast you will very likely get a bacterial infection. Thats why taking an antibiotic gives you yeast infections, because they are systemic and kill all the bacteria. lol.. excellent luck
As well as trying all the usual stuff like the diflucan and yoghurt etc…have you tried changing your diet? That’s what a friend of mine had to do when she had the same problem as you. She left out as much dairy as possible and had to stop eating most fruit because the candida thrives on the sugar from it. Have a look at the site in the source box for a list of foods best avoided if you’re having recurring ‘yeast’ issues. It’s really quite fascinating and hopefully it’ll be helpful for you too!
Here’s a sample of what’s on the site:
The yeast infection diet calls for NO Fruits and fruit juices because of the sugar they contain except for:
Green apples, berries, avocadoes, grapefruit, lemons, limes.
NO Breaded Meats…All others ok .
NO Egg substitutes…Eggs themselves are ok…organic is best since they contain the right omega fatty acids ratio…with fertile if you can find them being the ideal.
NO Margarine and butter substitutes.
On the yeast infection diet, yogurt (especially made from goats or organic), cream cheese, sour cream made from real cream, unsweetened whipping cream, and butter are all ok.
NO Potatoes and legumes on the yeast infection diet due to the high sugar starch content when digested (includes beans and peas).
Fresh vegetables and freshly made vegetable juice ok.
NO Coffee or tea (regular or decaf), NO Diet or regular sodas, Organic coffee or tea if you must in moderation.
These are known foods which usually contain fungi in one form or another and when digested break down into simple sugars, which yeast, feeds on. There are also over 400 known fungi that can affect the health of the human body, so it is best to not introduce any of these other fungi into your body when fighting candida or yeast, give yourself the best chance you can.
(One more handy tip I’ve learned is to iron your undies because the washing machine doesn’t get rid of the yeast spores.)
if diflucan cannot clear it up,go back to your doctor and tell them.maybe they will give you something to help. excellent luck.
