Guest guest Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 , We have had good success w biotin for yeast. After Dana mentioned it enough times, I tried increasing it. My daughter takes 80mg/day w no adverse effects. > > Hi All > > I'm about to start a course of Flagyl with my son (to fight his clostridia) but know from past experience that when we hit the clostridia, the yeast tends to thrive. I'm not keen on using Diflucan again, or Nystatin, so was thinking of trying Kirkmans YeastAid and/or Candex to keep a lid on the yeast while we treat the clostridia. > > My question is about timing: does anyone know whether I need to keep YeastAid or Candex away from the probiotics? I'm thinking that YeastAid contains OLE so is probably best kept away from probiotics - but can Candex be given at the same time? > > Also do people tend to use Candex alongside and in addition to other anti-yeast products, or is Candex best used on its own? > > Many thanks > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 ,I use candex with OoO. It's good but not enough here on it's own, hence the OoO. We also had clostridia and gave flagyl and diflucan. The diflucan didn't cut it for the yeast and we didn't get rid of the clostridia. We ended up using vacomycin and diflucan back in May for two and a half months. We got rid of the clostridia and according to tests/stools are still (fingers crossed) clostrida free!So FWIW if you can get vancomycin instead I'd definitely recommend that. xTo: Autism-Biomedical-Europe Sent: Wednesday, November 2, 2011 12:42 PMSubject: Candex/YeastAid Hi All I'm about to start a course of Flagyl with my son (to fight his clostridia) but know from past experience that when we hit the clostridia, the yeast tends to thrive.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 How did you find out that he's got clostridia? Did you do any test and what is the test and where did you do it? Please tell, > > Hi All > > I'm about to start a course of Flagyl with my son (to fight his clostridia) but know from past experience that when we hit the clostridia, the yeast tends to thrive.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 You can use it either way, Clostridia sometimes responds to Kirkman Sacc B, I use working up to 6 caps per day, hold for a week or two and back down again to maintenance of 2 per day, Its costly but good Mx Also do people tend to use Candex alongside and in addition to other anti-yeast products, or is Candex best used on its own?
