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

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      By Dizzyma · Posted

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
