When to start probiotics and which kind...

[Guest guest]

Hi. I tested " highly likely " to have candida so I started and have

been following the candida diet strictly for four weeks now. After 1

week (and a lot of miserable die-off symptoms), I started coconut

oil, garlic, oil of oregano, olive leaf oil, pau d'arco (tea and

extract) and a yeast cleanse supplement (caprylic acid, pau d'arco,

grapefruit seed and tea tree). Took those for two weeks, gradually

increasing dosages until I was up to the recommended dosage per day

(continuing die-off symtoms). I then switched off and have been

taking black walnut, cat's claw, goldenseal, and capricin as well as

the coconut oil and garlic. I will stay on these for another week

then switch back, as is sometimes recommended. I have eased into

these phases so as not to shock my system too much at once and, other

than the die-off (which has been unpleasant but bearable), I've done

ok and am seeing some improvement.

My question is, now that I have the diet under control and the anti-

fungals up to a decent level, when should I introduce pre- or pro-

biotics or both? Any recommendations for a type or types that I can

purchase? What is the recommended dosage to start? The ultimate

recommended dosage? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
