No-Wrong. Vinegar is fermented which is a type of food not allowed for anyone with yeast overgrowth. Honey-Bad Again. You are feeding the yeast. This is exactly the problem with taking advice from untrained "health consultants" and armchair wanna-be Naturopathic Doctors. 

Yes it is possible for a man to have a yeast infection: on any mucous membrane, skin, sinuses, digestive tract.

First step: medical diagnosis of the problem. Unless you are a primary care physician, you cant self diagnose a yeast infection.

Home remedies include diet change, oregano oil (external) and many other remedies that should be prescribed by a qualified Naturopathic Doctor.

Symptoms of yeast infection in male are quite different from those in the females. Those suffering from penile yeast infection may show no symptoms at all. But, for some, these symptoms can be quite intense.

Some symptoms are:

Iching and irritation: The head of the penis can itch like crazy and turn reddish.

Soreness: You can get little blisters and soreness on the penis.

Penile discharge: Even men infected with yeast infection experience penile discharge in the form of white, clumpy stuff, much like their infected women counterparts.

Itchy bumps: Much like the symptoms of herpes, these itchy bumps indicate the onset of chronic penile yeast infection.

 

Some home remedies are:

Follow a low carbohydrate diet with almost no simple carbohydrates, only a small amount of complex carbohydrates, eliminate any sugar and yeast products.

 

Raw Garlic is effective in reducing yeast growth and helpful in curing. Eat a clove every day until symptoms reside.

 

Eating Yogurt will help get rid of the bad bacteria and put in the good stuff.

 

Simply drink or eat acidophilus to keep yeast infection at bay. It's available in powder or capsule form in health food stores.

 

Drink at least two glasses of buttermilk daily, this will drastically reduce the chances of infection.

 

These should be of some help, should the symptoms persist you may want to get an over the counter remedy which contains difulcan or get medical attention.
