Does s. boulardii work on candida parasilopsis?

[Guest guest]

OK, so I have been taking s. boulardii (3 capsules before bed) for a few weeks,

as well as Enhnasa for a few months, to rid myself of yeast before I try to

start LDN in the next few months.

A blood test from 6 months ago showed candida albicans and that's why I've been

treating it.

BUT NOW - I just got back results from a stool test a month ago that shows

positive for candida parasilopsis.

I looked up this critter and it looks like it is prevalent in healthcare

settings and likes to grow on things like IVs and central lines. I know - CRAZY,

right? So I don't know how long I've had this particular type of candida, I was

in the hospital with my crohn's 2 years ago, and 3 years ago, and I've been

getting Remicade IVs for the last 2 years.

So here are my questions...

1) Is s. boulardii effective against this type of candida?

2) I don't think I am experiencing die-off from the s. boulardii. Should I up

the dose, and take 2 in the morning and 2 before bed? If I take it in the

morning on an empty stomach, it will only be 1 hour before I MUST have my

morning yogurt-based smoothie. Is this enough time before food? And before other

good probiotics?

3) Does candida parasilopsis interfere with LDN the way candida albicans does?

I hope someone knows about this stuff and can help me out:)

Thanks!
