Candida is a type of yeast. It’s normal to find on the skin and in the vagina. It becomes a problem when too much of it grows or it gets into the blood.

Colon cleansing may be helpful to help you “cleanse” of unwanted toxins. You need to take probiotics to improve gut flora. Probiotics can be found in yoghurt or in capsule or powder form from the pharmacy.

Question by What?: Does anyone know of a good, non-antibiotic treatment of Candida?
I’m pretty sensitive to them and want to give something else a try. I’ve tried Threelac, but, the side effects were horrid (even in reduced dosage) and I want to know if there’s something else that could help. Thanks.

Do you have an actual Candida infection, ie thrush or a vaginal infection?
C. ablicans is a favorite of cranks. They love to claim people have “candida overgrowth,” a completely fictitious condition they invented to sell supplements and treatments. Real systemic candiasis is a life threatening condition that needs anti-fungals. However, this only happens in individuals that are extremely immune compromised.
For the real C. albicans infections, anti-fungals are just about the only thing that actual works.

Q&A: Has anyone had dizziness problems with candida?

Answer by IBASI Healing Ministries
I’m a clinical pharmacist and have trained about 5yrs in acupuncture and traditional chinese medicine. Whenever western medicine and chiropractic can not solve the problem, I always refer my patients to a licensed Acupuncturist who is full-scope, meaning expert in chinese herbs as well as moxa, medical massage, cupping and needles, etc.
I have confidence that they will do a differential diagnosis that will easily pin-point the imbalance that is causing your mild dizziness. Make sure you opt for chinese herb formulas that are made in the USA and tested for GMP (USA codes for good manufacturing processes) to avoid the issue of heavy metal poisoning and contaminants coming out of China these days.
You may also want to check with your Naturopathics about heavy metal hair analysis – some heavy metal poisonings may produce mild symptoms like yours. I am assuming you have had a clinical pharmacist such as myself review ALL your medications, herb and drug suppliments? Many herbs and drugs, and combinations there of, not to mention illegal or illicit drugs, can cause lightheadedness and dizziness.
Best of luck to you,
Dr. D. Nostrum, Pharm.D.

What can you eat on a candida diet?
Question by Brokn: What can you eat on a candida diet?
I don’t think I could survive more than a day or two with just meat and green leafy veggies but as a kid we took so much tetracycline that I think I should give the diet a try and see if I feel better.
Best answer:
Answer by Yogesh G
Most of Candia diets restrict the amount of carbs to about 20 to 60 grams per day
Breads are omitted because they represent carbohydrates as wel as yeast
An acceptable bread would be Indian flat breads (Roti) made of durum whole-grain flour, followed by Corn Tortilla from Mexico.
Dairy products are normally avoided due to high fats. However one cup of fat-free natural plain yogurt with live culture can be helpful.
You can leafy vegetables: spinach, collard green, mustard greens, lettuce. In addition, eat broccoli, Green and Red bell peppers, celery.
One must avoid foods that contain sugar, honey or jaggery.

Answer by Amanda L
Candida is a fungal infection….it depends on where you have it but treatment is very easy…
If it’s in your mouth, it’s thrush and they have an oral medication. If it’s on your feet, it’s athlete’s foot which can be treated with a powder or cream.
Otherwise, Flagyl is an oral antibiotic used to treat fungal infections. Sometime in as little as on dose.
Call your MD.

What’s the connection between poor stomach flora and vaginal infections like candida? ?
Question by chewawa!: What’s the connection between poor stomach flora and vaginal infections like candida? ?
I’ve been told u can’t even eat fruit while treating vaginal candida.what’s the connection?
Best answer:
Answer by Martina T
Some foods, especially acidic foods, interfere with the absorption of oral medications. Grapefruit especially alters the uptake of many drugs. If you’re not taking oral meds though the only thing I can think of is that they would like you to have a lower glucose level to help get rid of the candida (it feeds on glucose in the vag secretions). I wouldn’t worry about it too much; however, eating yogurt with live cultures will help repopulate your gut with beneficial bacteria. Gross as it may sound, a little PLAIN yogurt with live cultures applied directly to the area in question (possibly at bedtime, then showered off in the morning) will help to get your vaginal flora back in balance as well.

Why when you are on a treatment against candida you can’t eat things with sugar?
Question by tatiana m: Why when you are on a treatment against candida you can’t eat things with sugar?
I’ll like to know how to control candida, after the treatment. And is it good to do a 30 day treatment?
Best answer:
Answer by Heather L
It’s best to not! The sugar feeds the candida. Eating plain low-fat yogurt is the best course of treatment. Make sure it contains lactobacillus acidophilus. LIVE cultures, or go out and buy capsules.
No idea about the 30 day treatment…

Q&A: What is the best thing to do for thrush and candida overgrowth?
Question by keeferdude: What is the best thing to do for thrush and candida overgrowth?
I have been ailed with this for over 3 years now and it is getting worse, I have lots of abdominal pain, fatigue, and an overall of not feeling well. The doctors do not seem to help, most do not think I have it, others have given me just a small dosage of medication, which helps for a while but it always returns. I take about a half of a bulb of garlic a day, and that seems to help, but it is not taking complete care of it. Please help.

Answer by Alice
Cut sugar out of your diet, including sodas, fruit juices and other sugary things.
I have a few suggestions.. Although garlic is good, pick up some virgin coconut oil and apple cider vinegar. Replace your oils and even butter with the coconut oil. I actually think you should eat a big spoon full the first 3 weeks. Do this in the mornings and at night. You could and probably should oil pull with the oil as well first thing in the morning. Swish it in your mouth for 15-20 minutes or until it turns white.
Mix the apple cider vinegar in tea or distilled water and sip through out the day. (You can add honey if you like). Use a straw. ACV is acidic. (This will balance your ph though).
Another suggestion is along with the above two tips, add the apple cider vinegar to your bath (about 1 cup full of vinegar).
You WILL have detox symptoms from doing these steps. Because your body will be killing of the candida you may have diarrhea, stomach pains, and feel very tired. Many people (myself included) report expelling pure white/clear bowl movement while this die off happens.
You can continue the garlic if you like. But the coconut oil is an antibacterial type oil. It kills yeast. It is also one of the most healthy oils (if not THE healthiest). There are many many benefits to this oil.

Can I Get Rid of Yeast without the Candida Diet?
Question by RedDevyl: Can I Get Rid of Yeast without the Candida Diet?
My doc suspected I had systemic yeast in my stomach whein I went to her complaining of chronich sinus infection & post nasal drip. I tried the diet for this past month and it works. I just don’ want to have to do this forever. The only supplements I’ve been taking are grapefruit seed extract & acidophilus. They’re supposed to get rid of the yeast as well. But are there any other supplements I can take to get rid of the yeast? I’ve heard of Candex & ThreeLac. Does anything else work? Or do I have to stay on the diet for ever?
Best answer:
Answer by Observer
A different way to take your acidophilus is by having 3 serves of fat free plain yoghurt a day, this works well. Some good results have been obtained from using a good quality colloidal silver. Good Luck.
