Question

Because of her frequent yeast infections, Cara’s doctor recommends that she eat at least ½ cup of yogurt a day. He explains that yogurt contains microorganisms that keep yeast infections at bay. Cara hates the taste of yogurt. What alternative would MOST likely give Cara the same effect as eating yogurt?

a) having a massage once a week
b) getting acupuncture treatments on her stomach
c) taking a probiotic supplement in the morning
d) getting a prescription for an antifungal medication

Answer 1

c) taking a probiotic supplement in the morning would most likely give Cara the same effect as eating yogurt. Probiotic supplements contain live bacteria and yeasts that are beneficial to the body, including those that can help prevent and treat yeast infections. Unlike yogurt, probiotic supplements do not require refrigeration and can come in different forms, such as capsules or powders, which may be more convenient and palatable for Cara.
