Candida Treatment Failsafe?

[holdthegluten]

Does anyone have a candida treatment that really works (combination of diet/supplements). I really need something that will work. I havent been diagnosed with a candida issue, but highly suspect it. Thanks Guys

Hold the gluten,

Unfortunately, no one seems to agree on whether the tests showing candida is present are accurate. Or what probiotics are best. Or what treatments work the best.

My GP isn't convinced that the test for systemic candida is accurate and so he doesn't want to run it. And he's open minded.

Many people use a combination of probiotics, anti fungals and a yeast free / sugar free diet. You could Google candida diet for specifics.

Good probiotics are Threelac, Kefir, Danactive, etc. Some say that only probiotics that are kept cold are active. This makes sense to me so I stick with those. I actually use kefir, but there is some discrepancy on whether or not this is casein free and safe for those who are casein intolerant.

To kill yeast, I used raw garlic and Pau D arco tea. I have a freind who was using CoT (cream of tartar), but I'm not sure if it worked for her. Start with a tiny piece of garlic once a day and build up to a clove.

Whatever you decide to do, be sure to go at this VERY slowly. And drink plenty of water. Detoxing slowly is better for our bodies.

I didn't go all out on the diet and remove all fruits. But, I understand this would have made the process go faster.

Hope this helps ... marcia

My naturopath gave me Citrecidal. After months of agony, it was the only thing that worked. I also did the diet, but I eat a whole foods diet anyway, and the only food I had to rid was fruit - so we don't think that made or broke me. Good luck!
