Yeast is part of all our makeup, how it stays balanced is what is at  issue.  
Yeast lives in our GI tracts and can spread out systemically.   When one gets 
run down or takes antibiotics the normal flora of the gut cannot  control the 
growth of the yeast.  This is when people get symptoms.   That is part of the 
theory behind taking acidophyllis and or garlic while on  antibiotics to help 
protect the gut flora.
When one is treating for yeast over growth or thrush, the yeast is not  being 
killed but growth is slowed back to normal.  No one should think that  all 
the yeast will be gone.  Also, ingesting food with yeast such as breast  milk 
should not be an issue.  We cannot make our diets yeast free.
I totally agree that some nipple yeast problems and the same with some  
yeasty diaper rashes develop into something more and therefore need more  extensive 
treatment possibly from a dermatologist.
