RE: Diagnosed with Candida Kefyr

[Guest guest]

My understanding is that kefyr is a lactose-fermenting yeast...used in making

yogurt and cheese. It is showing up more frequently. I had geotrichum in my

intestines. It is in the same class of lactose-fermenting yeasts....usually

only AIDS patients have problems with geotrichum, but I ate mozerella cheese

frequently at the farmer's market.

Diet and diflucan improved my life quickly.

Subject: Diagnosed with Candida Kefyr

Hello,

I am new to the forum. My gynecologist called yesterday with the results of a

vaginal culture and she said it is candida kefyr. She is not familiar with it,

says it's rare, and is sending me to an infectious disease doctor for treatment.

She said it is usually found in the lungs. Needless to say I am a bit freaked

out. Before the holidays I was on a fairly strict anti-fungal diet and taking

several supplements, but over the holidays, ate everything (still mostly

organic, but lots of cheese, mushrooms, bread, etc..) and drank a lot of red

wine. I have read on this forum that Helios Kefir has candida kefyr in it. I'm

wondering if the strain they found in me is a good strain? This is so confusing.

I am taking several probiotics, but not drinking Kefir. Does anyone have any

experience with this?

Thanks very much. Are you on the no-dairy, no sugar anti-fungal diet? And did

you take one course of diflucan? I understand the anti-fungal meds are really

hard on the liver.

I eat very carefully on the anti-fungal diet. I did eight weeks of diflucan

along with diet and supplements. I have continuing malabsorption problems

because my yeast was intestinal. My liver did fine with the

anti-fungals....what people forget is that candida is also very hard on the

liver with all its waste products.

The diflucan was a Godsend to me...diarrehea stopped in three days.

I have never been able to eat dairy since. Gluten is OK for me in small

amounts.
