Its annoying!
Am i the only one who has had this problem?
It used to happen to me too, but I learned to take Probiotic capsules any time I was on an antibiotic and that stopped it.
Yeast is in your body all the time and it's a good thing at the right levels, which is controlled by certain bacterias. Unfortunately, an antibiotic is a "kill em all" sort of thing, so it kills both good and bad bacteria as it works, which can let the yeast get out of hand. A Probiotic will keep the colonies of good bacteria up so the antibiotic doesn't do as much damage. You do, however have to be careful not to take them too close together though (like within a few hours) or one can theoretically cancel out the other.
