Thank you! I did some reading on the diet and I am sure there are some small changes I could make. I am convinced though the reason why I might have it is from all these antibiotics. I guess I am...
Thanks so much Karen! I am not big on going to doctors and I think I am going to try to do it natural by using herbs and supplements to help kill off the candida. Most of the symptoms for it are very...
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has ever been treated for candida overgrowth? I think that I may have it due to long term birth control pill use, & I have been treated frequently with antibiotics...

I see an acupuncturist weekly. I have been seeing her for over a year now. It has made a big difference in my life. It didn't happen right away. At first it was painful and I knew the only way it...
