I don't know where the yogurt has gone to, maybe you should check with your doctor. Next time, try eating the yogurt. Better yet, eat some everyday. (I like mine for breakfast.) It's less messy, tastes better, and you know exactly where it goes. By the way, I've never had a yeast infection, so maybe eating it really does work.
