Antibiotics....?

[scotty]

i had the worst case of candida known to man. it has been 6 months of gluten free with symptoms of candida still present i'll say. recently i had a major glutenening from rice puffs, cereal stuff; really set me back here. next thing i know i got strep, now i am quite sick. what i am wondering is if anyone thinks it might be a good or bad idea to go and try some antibiotics to fight this thing?

If you have confirmed strep from a throat culture, I would take the antibiotics.

I also have battled with candida over the years from repeated courses of antibiotics for repeated sinus infections. But now I can occasionally take antibiotics with little complications. But to this day, I always take probiotics daily. And when I take the antibiotics, I double the probiotics and start up the natural antifungals again (taken 2 hours after taking the antibiotics. This keeps things under control for me.

I agree that if you have confirmed strep throat you need antibiotics. It's uncommon but untreated strep can cause kidney or heart valve damage in the future.

I wasn't quite clear on your question but if you are asking about antibiotics for candida, I don't think they will help. You would need an antifungal I think.
