Candida Herx

Hi everyone, last October I was put on antibiotics (mino) for three months after I developed an EM rash, I have always had a poor immune system (MTHFR mutation) and i do believe that I had Candida even before I was put on antibiotics but taking them really made my overgrowth flare up. To treat the Candida my LLMD put me on nystatin for 3 months amd then switched me over to oregano oil pills which I have been on for 6 months. I was feeling ok but I noticed that I was still getting a white film on my tongue so I decided to add in NOW brand Candida support. I am just wondering can Candida dying off cause a Herx? Ever Since starting this supplement a few days ago I have felt dizzy, had body and head aches and worsening depersonalization, I have only been taking them every other day to try and ease into it but i am still having a rough time. Did anyone else feel this way after starting a Candida cleanse? I am unsure if I should keep taking these pills or back off. Because of money issues I am no longer seeing my LLMD so I am unable get a prescription for nystatin again. Tonight I will start using Benonite Clay as a binder and I have been going to the sauna at least twice a week, I also take a 90 billion garden of life probiotic but any other advice would be appreciated. Also once I am done taking this Candida cleanse is there a long term Candida supplement I can take that won't kill of my good bacteria too Thank you!
i should also mention I am still taking Banderol and Samento.

Yes, if you read stuff online about Candida treatment, the die off reactions can be severe. I had some weird stuff after taking Candicid Forte for a month or so. For the first month I didn’t notice any reactions.

Then I started having strange episodes of slight dizziness and sudden weakness like I was going to pass out. This happened off and on for about 2 weeks along with increased fatigue, joint pain, and muscle weakness until I had a massive expulsion of something out of my gut. Felt much better after that.

Coconut oil or caprylic acid would probably be good. I wouldn’t take GSE except for brief periods. It’s reputed to kill off everything.

Thank you walkingbyfaith I will look into both of those supplements and thank you Rikky1 that is great information! Does anyone know how long it takes for Candida to die off, should I treat until my symptoms are gone? I keep reading that you should not take supplements that kill off both your bad and good bacteria for longer than two weeks but when my LLMD gave me the oregano oil pills she never mentioned anything like that. I appreciate everyone's replys.
