Another Question About Candida

[Lexi]

I was in the process of treating my candida with Candex, and felt like I was having some results. I have only been on them for about 6 days now. I am also dealing with having teeth pulled, and now I have an infection. I have to take a strong antibiotic. Should I continue with the Candex, or would this be bad since antibiotics make yeast worse. Or, will the Candex interfere with the antibiotics and prevent me from healing? This infection has to get cleared up because of the severe pain I am having. But, I also do not want the Candida to get worse. Not sure what to do??? I WISH that I knew of a Doctor that was actually very familiar with Celiac Disease. Is there such a thing?

Don't know about doctors, and I've no personal experience with Candex. But I had to take very strong anti-biotics for ten days in November in the midst of my candida treatment, and it worked out very well. What I did was to increase significantly my intake of probiotics, while at the same time being very careful about the diet (no sugar, no alcohol, very little carbs, lots of vegetables etc.). At the time, I was taking olive leaf extract and golden seal in addition to the probiotics - and they seemed to work without a problem with the anti-biotics.

(Later on, I've had better canida results with caprylic acid, but that's another thing ...)

Try to find out if there are any counter interactions between the specific ingredients of Candex and the anti-biotics.

If you have to take anti-biotics, you have to take it. Then the rest becomes a question of how to minimize the damage in your guts ....

good luck !
