So I found out I probably have candida issues. Any tips to control this?

This is a good article with a suggestion for "saccharomyces boulardii" in the supplement section.

It is a beneficial yeast that works in a way similar to a probiotic.

Excerpt from the article...

"Saccharomyces boulardii (SB) is gaining recognition for its power to normalize intestinal bacteria. Like L. acidophilus, this friendly yeast produces lactic acid, which acidifies the intestinal content and reduces the candida population. It also increases levels of IgA, an antibody produced by the intestine that is helpful in combating candida overgrowth."

I use S. Boulardii and find it very helpful!

Good luck and keep us posted!

I follow the GAPS diet as much as I can - its very powerful and very much based on science in terms of how to heal and balance the gut as much as possible in terms of micro-flora. Of course its very much sees antibiotics as a culprit of pathogens like yeasts in the gut, but in my situation with my neuro stuff I feel like antibiotics are a must. I intend to continue the GAPS long after I stop taking antibiotics to try to restore the gut as much as possible. I drink raw milk, make keifer, take probiotics as much as possible and drink bone broth daily - thats a GAPS staple. I make my own probiotic yoghurt using the best probiotic supplements possible - culturing it for 48 hours increases the amount of bacteria vastly... then i east it mixed in with salad.. this increases the surface area as it passes through the digestive tract and a good way too restore yeast controlling flora.

There is a site that sells a very powerful anti-candida remedy called lufernon called owndoc. It gave me severe die-off and is pretty hardcore if a person can handle that. I took it for four months and the die-off eventually became minimal so I discontinued that. It wipes it out quite effectively while otherwise being inert for the human body.
