Best way to eat garlic

[Lovenest]

I am trying to make sure my yeast infection goes away for good.
I am eating lowfat yogurt with all those special ingedients.
And lots of water but now I need to figure out how to eat garlic enough to make it work. Or are the garlic pills affective? I really dont want to use it up there as I already have had enough burning from he** from monistat.:

i put it into everything, lol.... if you can stomach it, my sis is a garlic freak and eats it raw, lol. i know thats not much help though

Make some tzatziki, then you get the benefit of garlic AND yogurt! Dip some pitas in it and yum, yum!

I'm assuming that it's a vaginal yeast infection? You can actually take a clove of garlic and insert it vaginally. I'm sure if you search this forum for garlic there would be further instructions somewhere. I believe people find it most helpful to insert the clove at bedtime. You'll probably taste garlic when you wake up.

Odorless garlic pills are supposed to be helpful as well.

use a small clove and swallow it whole as you would a pill. If you puncture it (or cut a larger clove in half), you'll get the garlic breath and heartburn. My DH has done both and much prefers them to the "odorless" garlic pills, which have him belching garlic all the time.

Also, as long as you don't puncture the clove, there should be no burning from inserting vaginally. I understand if you don't want to try it, though :LOL.

All the above messages are in error... the garlic pills are not effective as the Allicin in garlic is released and potent only in FRESH, UNCOOKED garlic that has been RECENTLY CRUSHED. So swallowing small bits of whole garlic will not help you either. You need to crush the garlic and eat it raw within 20 minutes. The best way I've found to do this is to crush the garlic, mix with a bit of olive oil and salt, and put it on bread. It's edible, especially if you don't pile on too much all at once. The antibiotic & antifungal use for garlic is 7 cloves crushed and raw over 7 days. This can have amazing effects, and has worked for me where mainstream antibiotics failed.

I take a tomato, and a clove of garlic, throw them in the blender, and eat this sauce with pasta....YUM!
