Re: Sure, this is the reason because an intestinal candidiasis is hard to cure..

I am clear about what I write here. Rifaximin is the antibiotic of choice to

treat SIBO because isn't a systemic drug and too little of it will pass the

intestinal wall to get the bloodstream. Oral systemic drugs will pass to the

bloodstream once they get the small bowel, have little effect in the gut. If any

systemic drug were effective in the gut, there will be a lot of then to treat

SIBO, and that isn't the case. SIBO is very difficult to treat because most oral

antibiotics are systemic. The same thing happen with candida. Fluconazol,

Itraconazol, Ketoconazol, Lamisil, Caspofungin, Micofungin, etc are systemic

drugs and when you take them in tablets are absorbed in the small bowel and pass

to the bloodstream. The result is little or almost no effect inside of the gut.

This is the biggest problem to treat intestinal candidiasis. There are only a

few drugs which aren't systemic, one of them is Nystatin, Amphotericin B (oral)

which is difficult to find and expensive and some other no available in US.

Also, Nystatin powder which is a lot more effective than tablets is hard to find

too. The intestinal area is big and taking 3 tablets a day of any no-systemic

antifungal isn't effective to finish with an infection that could be located in

most part of the intestine. Again, another abnalogy... If a building is in fire,

you can not extinguish it with a gallon of water.
