Here is a list of some of my yeast symptoms:
Bloating and gas, esp after eating certain foods (fruit)
Tingling sensation in mouth
Fatigue
Burning eyes, ears and sinuses, stomach, esophagus
reflux
All mucosal membranes can be affected, actually.
Muscle pain
joint pain
headaches
My plan is good probiotics, antifungals (both Rx and herbal), enzymes that eat the cell wall of the yeast (NSI Candida Management), candida diet and oral hygiene.
I ended up w/ a pretty nasty case of yeast, so don't let my list of symptoms freak you out! Posts: 55 | From US | Registered: May 2009

Hi Kelly,
DIET IS MOST IMPORTANT in fighting yeast. Check out FOODS to Avoid.
Probiotics ALONE will not keep yeast under control, especially if a carb free diet is not maintained. In case you didnt know, sugar FEEDS yeast, big time.
Step 1: DIET (low carb/low sugar/high protein diet
Step 2: Detox to slough off toxins by candida
Step 3: ANTIFUNGALS along with the probiotics can aid in controlling yeast.
Step 4: Oral hygiene-prevents reinfection
Herbal antifungals along with oral hygiene can be very effective if used before yeast gets out of control. Herbals, can be olive leaf, garlic, pau de arc, grapefruit seed extract or oregano, etc.
Personally, Olive Leaf Extract, Grapefruit Seed Extract and Oregamax worked great in combination with good refrigerated probiotics and a low car diet. Add a little detox in and it accelerates the results.
Combine that with good oral hygiene, (ie brushing tongue every day, rinsing with a strong antiseptic mouthwash for 30 seconds-UH it burns, oh yea!, and dipping your brush in bleach and rinsing thoroughly after ever use) and you can hopefully keep yeast under control---Yeast actually starts on the tongue.
Detox can be in the form of steam/sauna, warm to hot baths, low impact exercise and/or detox products or methods as tolerated, to get rid of the candida toxins or die off.
There are tons of other additional yeast aid products. To name a few, kolerex, candicyn, candi gone, threelac, cuturelle and candex, etc.
But, with all that being said, some folks need still need prescription antifungals such as nystatin or diflucan in addition to the probiotics, diet and detox.
Always check in with your doctor.
Good Luck!

Don't forget white tongue. Frothy discharge. Itching, burning, painful urination. When it gets so bad you bleed they remember-hey I didn't give you anything for yeast.

I recently had a stool test done by Diagnos-Techs that confirmed what I suspected. I have yeast. Mine is +1 trace on a scale of +1 to +5.
I don't have much, thankfully, but I have most of the issues that saskat posted.
