Candida controls

So apparently this has been an issue of mine for years and I'm just realizing it now. I can't seem to keep this under control.

Currently; no grains, sugar, dairy.

Diet: Meat and veggies. Fruit once a day.

using yeast ease and azo yeast tabs, and 1 clove of raw garlic daily and of course tons of probiotics

Even once I get it under control it comes back roaring. I can't just live on meat and veggies...that leaves out so many nutrients. Plus all that protein. Yuck.

Once some of you got your yeast under control was there some supplement that kept it there?

I have been on long term antibiotics now for over 10 months. Not surprisingly, it took some time identifying and even treating the severe Candida outbreaks I was having.

I was already using Core Olive Leaf extract, garlic and coconut oil and on a zero yeast, mostly gluten-free diet already. These helped to control the Candida somewhat, but I did have major flare-ups constantly.

After speaking with my LLMD, I added the probiotic with the specific strain of Saccharromyces Boulardii to my diet. Amazing isnt even the word for it: this probiotic changed my life.

Dosage: I took several capsules, several times a times a day for a couple of weeks at first. Then resorted to one of two tablets every other day or so to maintain the colony.

You may may actually feel sick initially, as the Candida die-off may induce a Herx-like reaction, but keep taking it.

I didnt want to endorse any specific brands, but I was told that this specific species of probiotic transports very well, can exist dry and does not need to be refrigerated. So just about any cheap generic brand will do. I get mine off of Amazon.

vcast,

what were your die off symptoms from the yeast?

opugirl,

Please keep in mind the fermented foods such as kefir, sauerkraut, kimche, etc. Be sure that they haven't been pasteurized, as this would kill the good flora as well as the bad.

My personal opinion is that I would focus on repopulating your body with the good flora. My opinion is that the bad microbes may be attempting to serve a purpose that the good guys would normally be attempting to do. The ABX indiscriminately kills off both types.

It would be prohibitively expensive to ingest huge quantities of a good quality probiotic. A less costly and more effective strategy would be to include a variety of good fermented foods in your diet. Each fermented food will carry some strains of flora that others do not carry.
