Today my 2.5-yo dd has been complaining of a sore bottom (bright red genital area), "belly issues" (i.e. intestinal), and a sore mouth (indicating insides of cheeks, though no visible sores), all at once. The first two are problems she's mentioned on and off for some time. Could this be a candida problem, even though I don't have it and dd eats a lot of yoghurt?

sure sounds like it to me.
Yogurt doesn't always help, especially if it's sweetened, and can even make it worse because of the sugar and dairy in it.

What makes dairy more likely to promote yeast growth than human milk? And can you suggest any non-dairy, non-prescription sources of probiotics?

Thanks for your reply!
