Re: Question about coffee -- candida myth?

[Guest guest]

I think the comment that drinking coffee increases candida is another

candida myth, probably based on a test tube experiment in which

proliferation of candida increased when they added caffeine.

Nonetheless, we do coffee enemas without incident.

Coffee you drink probably won't hit the dose used in the research

before it dissipates, and the caffeine is very quickly absorbed so

most of the candida won't get the stimulus.

I want to point out, because of like curiousity, that the question

more specifically seemed to refer to actual probiotic dosing in

relation to coffee intake. Is there a certain amount of time that

should be placed between a cup of coffee and a probiotic supplement?

Personally, with all the antbacterials I am using, I have no idea when

to take probiotics without the fear of killing them before they even

get to the intestine. I assume prebiotics are enough as duncan says?
