Kefir caused yeast infection?

I have had reoccurring vaginal yeast infections for five years now. Most recently I began taking Pau D'arco and it cleared up immediately.

However, I decided to try Kefir to improve my intestinal balance and hopefully rid myself of this issue for good.

I got my Kefir grains last Thursday and made my first batch of Kefir milk. I consumed about four ounces on Saturday and eight ounces on Sunday. Monday morning I woke up with a raging infection.

I know Kefir milk has yeast and I'm beginning to wonder if the Kefir milk caused the infection. I think I must be highly allergic/sensitive to yeast.

Anyone else had this problem? I'll appreciate any comments or feedback. Now I'm scared to drink the Kefir milk again.

Thanks!
