Im considering trying this product since I have some candida overgrowth. some of the ingredient labels say it contains casein but others dont. im severely dairy intolerant (even the lactose filler in a med will give me problems) - would this be safe? also is it gluten free?

Thanks

As far as I remember, one or more of the strains are bred on lactose, yet it's supposed to be lactose/casein free, but I'm not totally sure. I took it for a long while, and though I'm very sensitive and ingest no dairy whatsoever (can't even have fermented yogurt), I've been okay with it. And it has worked quite well. Otherwise, if you're looking for a good certainly non-dairy anti-candida remedy, caprylic acid has been very effective for me. Or perhaps, it might be worth trying them out and see what works the best for you.

I used both caprylic acid and nystatin to fight candida overgrowth. Although caprylic acid is a natural herbal supplement (from coconut oil), it had the same initial side effects as Nystatin (which is a drug). Both nystatin and caprylic acid cause initial nausea and bloating. However those symptoms subside after about a week. I did not take the caprylic acid long enough to eliminate the candida. Both an earlier (before treatment) and later (after treatment) stool test showed I still had candida. So I decided to use nystatin to treat candida, because I could get nystatin through my HMO pharmacy at a very low price. I ended up taking nystatin for about 5 months. However, my last stool test showed absolutely NO candida.

I did not follow that very restrictive anticandida diet (no sweets except stevia, no fruit, yeasts, peanuts, limited grains, etc.), because I already have celiac disease and 6 other food allergy restrictions. However, I didn't eat many sweet foods (except fruit) while treating for candida. Nevertheless nystatin completely eliminated my candida problem.

Hi Jason- I was on Nystatin for 3-4 months and did NOT have to get my liver checked. It also worked very well.

When you posted, did you mean Theralac (not Threelac)? I have been on Theralac for years and it works great.....I've been on long-term antibiotics so I had a candida issue for awhile. Therelac has worked well for me but I can tolerate dairy.

Jason,

Go to the bottom of the first link, and you'll find some rather detailed explanations on Threelac. The second one contains FAQ.

I finally got diagnosed with candida, and I've been on the fence about taking threelac ever since I found out. There's the whole debate of the bad bacteria, the one that becomes resistant to antibiotics. I've read an argument that the strain they use is "like one of twelve kids; just because some of the others are bad doesn't mean this one is." However, if the strain they use is the same bacteria minus the resistances, doesn't that just mean it could become resistant?

It's all very confusing, but for me it seems like if there's other options than those are the ones to go with, I've been on the very strict candida diet (only eating meats, veggies and eggs, and only specific ones of those categories at that) and taking Phytostan, which is some sort of herbal antimicrobial I got from my naturopath. Hopefully this regimen will do the trick!

Good luck to you.

I contacted the company and there is tons of scientific evidence which says its fine and millions use it w/ no problems. I also heard that a disgruntled former employee started spreading rumors all over the web after she got fired. i ordered some and am gonna try it, but will start off very slowly

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
