I've been using it in a variety of ways. Sometimes I just drink a

tablespoon of it with a meal. Sometimes I put it on a salad. I put a

tablespoon of it in buckwheat pancakes.

The coconut oil I have been using is very flavorful. It says " Virgin

coconut oil " on the jar. Unfortunately, the local store that sold it just

closed for some reason. I'm hoping I can find the same brand (NOW Foods)

around here somewhere else.

Taking it the way Zack suggests with foods, by the tablespoon with

meals, etc.. I have taken it on an empty stomach - using it more

like a straight antifungal - but it does stir up the yeast, causing

die-off, and it can cause an upset stomach that way. I'm sure you

receive the antifungal affects of it anyway you take it, even if you

rub it on your skin.

When I feel my candida is kicking up I will sometimes get a slimy icky red rash

under my breast or inside my thigh. coconut oil will usually clear that up

with in 2 days. I did notice die off when taking it on an empty stomache but on

the third day (4th, etc.) My stomache was gone that I had so I know it was

doing something good.
