Is it true, that garlic is a big enemy of yeast! I read that inserting one garlic tab (such as Shaklee's Garlic Tabs) or a garlic clove into the vagina every few hours or as needed provides soothing relief.
Alternatively garlic can be taken internally, as well. Or, if you don't mind the smell, you can press a whole garlic clove and drink it down quickly with water.
