10 Signs You Have Candida

Overgrowth & How to Eliminate It

November 14th, 2019

Candida overgrowth is one of the most common conditions I would see in my clinic,
especially among my autoimmune patients. I’ve seen thousands of patients suffer
from digestive issues, fatigue, brain fog, recurring fungal infections, skin problems,
mood swings, and more, all caused by Candida overgrowth.

I have also seen the incredible transformation that they experience by beating
Candida overgrowth. I’ve witnessed the return of energy, vitality, and mental
clarity, and chronic symptoms fade away.
You might be wondering, “What on earth is Candida?” Candida is a fungus, a form of
yeast that lives in your mouth and intestines in small amounts. Its job is to aid with
digestion and nutrient absorption. However, when it is overproduced it breaks down
the wall of the intestine and penetrates the bloodstream. This releases toxic
byproducts into your body and causes leaky gut. It can also lead to many different
health problems ranging from digestive issues to depression.

Excesul de candida este una dintre cele mai frecvente afecțiuni pe care le-aș vedea
în clinica mea, în special în rândul pacienților mei autoimuni. Am văzut mii de
pacienți care suferă de probleme digestive, oboseală, ceață creierului, infecții
fungice recurente, probleme ale pielii, modificări ale dispoziției și multe altele, toate
cauzate de suprasolicitarea Candida.

Am văzut, de asemenea, transformarea incredibilă pe care o experimentează bătând

suprapunerea lui Candida. Am fost martorul întoarcerii energiei, vitalității și clarității
mentale și simptomele cronice se estompează.

S-ar putea să vă întrebați: „Ce este pământul Candida?” Candida este o ciupercă, o
formă de drojdie care trăiește în gură și intestine în cantități mici. Sarcina sa este de
a ajuta digestia și absorbția de nutrienți. Cu toate acestea, atunci când este

1
supraprodus, acesta descompune peretele intestinului și pătrunde în fluxul sanguin.
Aceasta eliberează produse secundare toxice în corp și provoacă scurgeri
intestinale. De asemenea, poate duce la multe probleme de sănătate diferite, de la
probleme digestive la depresie.

How do you get Candida overgrowth?

2
3
The healthy or ‘good’ bacteria in your gut typically keep your Candida levels in
check. However, the Candida population can get out of hand if a round of antibiotics
kills too many of the friendly bacteria, you have a diet high in refined carbohydrates
and sugar (which feed the Candida), high alcohol intake, are taking oral
contraceptives, or any number of other factors including a high-stress lifestyle. Even
a diet high in beneficial fermented foods like Kombucha, sauerkraut, and pickles,
can feed Candida and cause an overgrowth.

Bacteriile sănătoase sau „bune” din intestinul tău îți

mențin de obicei nivelul Candida. Cu toate acestea,
populația Candida poate ieși din mână dacă o rundă de
antibiotice ucide prea multe dintre bacteriile prietenoase,
aveți o dietă bogată în carbohidrați rafinați și zahăr (care
hrănesc Candida), cu un aport mare de alcool, iau
contraceptive orale sau orice număr de alți factori,
inclusiv un stil de viață cu stres ridicat. Chiar și o dietă
bogată în alimente fermentate benefice precum
Kombucha, varză și murături, poate hrăni Candida și
poate provoca o supraaglomerație.

10 Common Candida Symptoms

Candida has the unique ability to change shape in order to protect itself from harsh
environments. It responds to a shift in temperature or acidity levels by transforming
from a rounded yeast cell into an elongated hyphal cell. These elongated cells have
the ability to permeate the gut lining, causing leaky gut. Once in the bloodstream,
Candida can invade other tissues. This means that Candida can quickly transition
from a gut problem to a full-body problem. It can colonize the skin, mouth, ears,

4
thyroid, reproductive organs, or elsewhere. For this reason, symptoms of Candida
overgrowth can be experienced in many different forms.
1. Skin and nail fungal infections such as athlete’s foot, ringworm, and
toenail fungus
2. Feeling tired and worn down or suffering from chronic fatigue or
fibromyalgia

3. Digestive issues such as bloating, constipation, or diarrhea

4. Autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, rheumatoid

arthritis, ulcerative colitis, lupus, psoriasis, scleroderma, or multiple
sclerosis
5. Difficulty concentrating, poor memory, lack of focus, ADD, ADHD, and/or
brain fog

6. Skin issues including eczema, psoriasis, hives, and rashes

7. Irritability, mood swings, anxiety, or depression
8. Vaginal infections, urinary tract infections, rectal itching, or vaginal
itching

9. Severe seasonal allergies or itchy ears

10. Strong sugar and refined carbohydrate cravings

Do you think you have Candida overgrowth? Take this simple quiz to find out!
Candida are capacitatea unică de a-și schimba forma pentru a se proteja de mediile
dure. Răspunde la o schimbare a temperaturii sau a nivelurilor de aciditate
transformând dintr-o celulă rotundă de drojdie într-o celulă alungită de hiphal. Aceste
celule alungite au capacitatea de a pătrunde mucoasa intestinului, provocând
intestinul scurger. Odată ajuns în fluxul sanguin, Candida poate invada alte țesuturi.
Aceasta înseamnă că Candida poate trece rapid de la o problemă a intestinului la o
problemă cu corp întreg. Poate coloniza pielea, gura, urechile, tiroida, organele de
reproducere sau în altă parte. Din acest motiv, simptomele de suprasolicitare
Candida pot fi întâlnite sub multe forme diferite.

5
1. Infecții fungice ale pielii și unghiilor, cum ar fi piciorul sportivului, viermele inelului
și ciuperca unghiilor
2. Simțiți-vă obosit și uzat sau suferiți de oboseală cronică sau fibromialgie
3. Probleme digestive precum balonare, constipație sau diaree
4. Bolile autoimune, cum ar fi tiroidita Hashimoto, artrita reumatoidă, colita
ulceroasă, lupusul, psoriazisul, sclerodermia sau scleroza multiplă
5. Dificultate de concentrare, memorie slabă, lipsă de focalizare, ADD, ADHD și /
sau ceață a creierului
6. Probleme ale pielii, inclusiv eczeme, psoriazis, urticarie și erupții cutanate
7. Iritabilitate, schimbări de dispoziție, anxietate sau depresie
8. Infecții vaginale, infecții ale tractului urinar, mâncărime rectală sau mâncărime
vaginală
9. Alergii sezoniere severe sau mâncărimi ale urechilor
10. Zahar puternic și pofte de carbohidrați rafinate

6
The Candida & Autoimmune Connection
Once Candida has penetrated your intestinal lining and caused your gut to become
leaky, it opens the floodgates for undigested food particles, toxins, viruses, and
bacteria to pass through your intestinal wall and into your bloodstream. This triggers
an inflammatory response from your immune system in an attempt to fight off these
foreign “invaders.” As your gut remains leaky, your immune system continues
sending out wave after wave of inflammation, and soon gets stressed, weakened,
confused, and begins firing less accurately. When this happens, your own body’s

7
tissues can end up in the crosshairs of your immune system. Over time this can lead
to the development of a full-blown autoimmune disease.

Odată ce Candida a pătruns în mucoasa intestinală și a făcut ca intestinul tău să

devină scurger, deschide porțile pentru ca particulele alimentare, toxine, viruși și
bacterii nedigestionate să treacă prin peretele intestinal și în fluxul sanguin. Acest
lucru declanșează un răspuns inflamator din partea sistemului imunitar în încercarea
de a lupta împotriva acestor „invadatori străini”. În timp ce intestinul tău rămâne
scurger, sistemul tău imunitar continuă să trimită val după val de inflamație și în
curând devine stresat, slăbit, confuz și începe. tragând mai puțin precis. Când se
întâmplă acest lucru, țesuturile propriului corp pot ajunge în elementele transversale
ale sistemului imunitar. În timp, acest lucru poate duce la dezvoltarea unei boli
autoimune pline de suflare.

How do you test for Candida overgrowth?

IgG, IgA and IgM Candida Antibodies
Blood tests check for IgG, IgA, and IgM Candida antibodies in your blood,
and they can be performed at most any lab. High levels of these antibodies indicate
that an overgrowth of Candida is present somewhere in the body and that your
immune system is reacting to it.
Remember, Candida has the ability to suppress the immune system so it is important
to ask your doctor to test your total IgG, IgA and IgM levels along with the Candida
antibodies. Low levels of total IgG, IgA or IgM could cause a false negative
response to the Candida antibodies, meaning you have Candida but since your
immune system is lowered, you are unable to produce a response and your blood
test comes back negative. I see so many patients with suppressed immune systems,
so I find that blood tests can often be negative even when the stool or urine tests are
positive.

Anticorpi IgG, IgA și IgM Candida

8
Testele de sânge verifică anticorpii IgG, IgA și IgM Candida în sângele dvs. și pot fi
efectuate cel mult în orice laborator. Nivelurile ridicate ale acestor anticorpi indică
faptul că o supraagregare de Candida este prezentă undeva în corp și că sistemul
dumneavoastră imunitar reacționează la acesta.

Nu uitați, Candida are capacitatea de a suprima sistemul imunitar, de aceea este

important să cereți medicului dvs. să vă testeze nivelul total de IgG, IgA și IgM
împreună cu anticorpii Candida. Nivelurile scăzute de IgG, IgA sau IgM pot cauza un
răspuns fals negativ la anticorpii Candida, ceea ce înseamnă că aveți Candida, dar
din moment ce sistemul imunitar este scăzut, nu puteți produce un răspuns și testul
de sânge revin negativ. Văd atâția pacienți cu sistem imunitar suprimat, așa că
găsesc că testele de sânge pot fi adesea negative chiar și când scaunul sau testele
de urină sunt pozitive.

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

Often, I will see clues on a CBC that let me know that Candida is present. A low
white blood cell count (WBC) has been associated with Candida overgrowth. It has
also been associated with a pattern of high neutrophil and low lymphocyte count.
These are non-specific to Candida, yet I can tell you I see this pattern very frequently
in patients with Candida overgrowth.
Stool Testing
I personally find this to be the most accurate test available. This will check for
Candida in your colon or lower intestines. However, you need to make sure that your
doctor orders a comprehensive stool test rather than the standard stool test.
With the stool test, your stool is directly analyzed for levels of Candida. The lab can
usually determine the species of yeast as well as which treatment will be effective.
Urine Organix Dysbiosis Test
This test detects D-Arabinitol a waste product of Candida overgrowth. An elevated
test means an overgrowth of Candida. This test will determine if there is Candida in
your upper gut or small intestines.

9
Adesea, voi vedea indicii pe un CBC care să mă anunțe că Candida este prezentă.
Un număr scăzut de globule albe din sânge (WBC) a fost asociat cu creșterea
Candida. De asemenea, a fost asociat cu un model de neutrofile ridicat și număr
scăzut de limfocite. Acestea sunt nespecifice pentru Candida, totuși vă pot spune că
văd acest model foarte frecvent la pacienții cu suprasolicitare Candida.
Testarea scaunului
Personal consider că acesta este cel mai precis test disponibil. Acest lucru va
verifica dacă Candida în colonul sau intestinele inferioare. Cu toate acestea, trebuie
să vă asigurați că medicul dumneavoastră comandă un test complet de scaun și nu
testul fecalului standard. Cu testul scaunului, scaunul dvs. este analizat direct pentru
nivelurile de Candida. Laboratorul poate determina, de obicei, specia de drojdie,
precum și care tratament va fi eficient.
Testul de disbioză al organixului urinar
Acest test detectează D-Arabinitolul un produs rezidual cu suprasolicitare Candida.
Un test crescut înseamnă o supraagregare a Candidei. Acest test va determina dacă
în intestinul superior sau în intestinele subțiri există Candida.

How do you treat Candida overgrowth?

Effectively treating Candida involves stopping the overgrowth, restoring the friendly
bacteria that usually keep them in check, and repairing your gut so that Candida can
no longer enter your bloodstream. I accomplish this with a simple three-wave attack I
describe in detail in my free training. The steps are as follows:
 Step 1: First, you need to starve the Candida by removing the foods that
feed it from your diet. This means cutting all sugar and alcohol and
limiting carbohydrates such as fruit, starchy vegetables, grains, and
legumes.
 Step 2: Next, you’ll want to attack the Candida by taking supplements
that destroy Candida’s cell walls. I use Candifense® as well as Caprylic
Acid. Candifense® supports microbe balance in the GI tract and
discourages the growth of yeast. Caprylic Acid creates an inhospitable

10
 environment for yeast, and it’s able to penetrate intestinal mucosal cells
to exert its effects. Both Candifense® and Caprylic Acid are excellent at
breaking down the walls of Candida cells.
 Step 3: Finally, you will repopulate your gut with good bacteria using a
high-potency probiotic to keep Candida under control. While battling
Candida, I recommend a probiotic supplement containing 100
billion colony-forming units (CFUs) to restore your gut’s healthy microbial
balance.
Tratarea eficientă a Candidei presupune oprirea supraaglomerării,
refacerea bacteriilor prietenoase care de obicei le țin sub control și
repararea intestinului tău, astfel încât Candida să nu mai poată intra în
fluxul sanguin. Realizez acest lucru cu un simplu atac cu trei valuri pe
care îl descriu în detaliu în antrenamentul meu gratuit. Pașii sunt
următorii:
• Pasul 1: În primul rând, trebuie să înfometați Candida eliminând
alimentele care îl hrănesc din dieta dvs. Aceasta înseamnă tăierea
tuturor zahărului și alcoolului și limitarea carbohidraților, cum ar fi
fructele, legumele amidonice, cerealele și leguminoasele.
• Pasul 2: Apoi, veți dori să atacați Candida, luând suplimente care
distrug pereții celulelor Candida. Folosesc Candifense®, precum și Acril
Caprilic. Candifense® susține echilibrul microbilor în tractul GI și
descurajează creșterea drojdiei. Acidul caprilic creează un mediu
inhospitabil pentru drojdie și este capabil să pătrundă în celulele
mucoasei intestinale pentru a-și exercita efectele. Atât Candifense® cât
și Acrilul Caprilic sunt excelente pentru a descompune pereții celulelor
Candida.
• Etapa 3: În sfârșit, vă veți repopula intestinul cu bacterii bune folosind
un probiotic cu potențial ridicat pentru a menține Candida sub control. În
timp ce luptați cu Candida, vă recomand un supliment probiotic care
conține 100 de miliarde de unități formatoare de colonii (CFU) pentru a
restabili echilibrul microbial sănătos al intestinului.

Probiotic Supplements for candida

overgrowth
Probiotics have been shown to prevent and treat Candida overgrowth.
The role of probiotics during the Candida cleanse is to suppress the yeast
infection but not to kill the yeast too quickly. When this happens, you’ll have a
large number of yeast toxins circulating in your bloodstream.

12
There are 3 important things to consider when choosing a health
supplement such as a probiotic for your treatment, such as:
1. Type of a strain/s
2. Specific dosage
3. Length of consumption

1. Type of strain/s
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG
This specific probiotic strain has been found to prevent or minimize the
growth, adhesion, and morphogenesis of Candida. (Allonsius et al., 2017)
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (boulardii)
I know it may sound weird, but this is a yeast. You may think consuming more
yeast can promote the growth of Candida, but there is beneficial yeast that
fights off the bad guys.
Similarly, to the good and bad bacteria, there is good and bad yeast ;).
And just like the good bacteria, this beneficial yeast is believed to reduce the
risk of Candida translocating from the digestive tract to other areas. The
growth of Candida is inhibited in the intestines by inducing caprylic acid, and
anti-fungal substance. (Gabrielli, 2018)
Lactobacillus larhamnosus GR-1 and Lactobacillus rlyreuteri RC-14
These fascinating strains have evidence for use with both Candida
albicans and Candida glabrata and are most effective when
combined. (Martinez et al.,2009) (Kohler et al., 2012)
S-a dovedit că probioticele previn și tratează supraagregarea Candida.
Rolul probioticelor în timpul curățării Candida este de a suprima infecția cu
drojdie, dar nu de a ucide drojdia prea repede. Când se va întâmpla acest
lucru, veți avea un număr mare de toxine din drojdie care circulă în fluxul
sanguin.
Există 3 lucruri importante care trebuie luate în considerare atunci când alegeți
un supliment pentru sănătate, cum ar fi un probiotic pentru tratamentul dvs.,
cum ar fi:
1. Tipul unei tulpini / e
2. Dozare specifică
3. Lungimea consumului
1. Tipul tulpinii
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG
S-a descoperit că această tulpină probiotică specifică împiedică sau
minimizează creșterea, adeziunea și morfogeneza Candida. (Allonsius și colab.,
2017)
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (boulardii)

13
Știu că poate suna ciudat, dar aceasta este o drojdie. S-ar putea să credeți că
consumul de mai multă drojdie poate promova creșterea Candida, dar există
drojdie benefică care combate oamenii răi.
În mod similar, la bacteriile bune și rele, există drojdie bună și rea;).
La fel ca bacteriile bune, se consideră că această drojdie benefică reduce riscul
de transpunere de la Candida din tractul digestiv în alte zone. Creșterea
Candida este inhibată în intestine prin inducerea acidului caprilic și a
substanței anti-fungice. (Gabrielli, 2018)
Lactobacillus larhamnosus GR-1 și Lactobacillus rlyreuteri RC-14
Aceste tulpini fascinante au dovezi pentru utilizarea atât cu Candida albicans
cât și cu Candida glabrata și sunt cele mai eficiente atunci când sunt
combinate. (Martinez și colab., 2009) (Kohler și colab.,
2. How powerful should my probiotic supplement be to treat
candida overgrowth?
To answer this question accurately is a real challenge.
Why?
Because the severity varies from person to person, you may be a victim of
candida overgrowth for years without even realizing, or you may have noticed
after a couple of weeks or months (if you’re the lucky one!).
Currently, the focus in gastrointestinal research is towards antibiotics that have
been FDA regulated and are able to survive the harsh stomach acids after
ingestion.

A recent study found “Oral spore-based probiotic supplementation was

associated with a reduced incidence of post-prandial dietary endotoxin,
triglycerides, and disease risk biomarkers” and was published in the World
Journal of Gastrointestinal Pathophysiology.
The study showed a reduction in dietary endotoxin, triglycerides and potential
systemic inflammation making Just Thrive probiotic & antioxidant an excellent
probiotic supplement for leaky gut and potentially candida overgrowth.
Suggested Read: Detailed Just Thrive Probiotic Review: By Gut Nutritionist.
Cât de puternic trebuie să fie suplimentul meu probiotic pentru a trata
supraîncărcarea cu candida?
A răspunde cu exactitate la această întrebare este o adevărată provocare.
De ce?
Deoarece severitatea variază de la o persoană la alta, este posibil să fiți victima
unei supraîncărcări de candida ani de zile fără să vă dați seama, sau poate ați
observat după câteva săptămâni sau luni (dacă sunteți cel norocos!).

14
În prezent, accentul în cercetarea gastrointestinală este orientat către
antibiotice care au fost reglementate de FDA și sunt capabile să
supraviețuiască acizilor stomacali dure după ingestie.
Un studiu recent a descoperit „Suplimentarea probiotică pe baza de spori orali
a fost asociată cu o incidență redusă de endotoxină dietetică post-prandială,
trigliceride și biomarkeri cu risc de boală” și a fost publicată în World Journal
of Gastrointestinal Pathophysiology.
Studiul a arătat o reducere a endotoxinei dietetice, a trigliceridelor și a
potențialelor inflamații sistemice, făcând ca Just Thrive probiotic și antioxidant
să fie un supliment probiotic excelent pentru intestinul scurger și potențialul
de creștere a candidei.

3. How long should I take a probiotic supplement to treat
candida overgrowth?
You may not see improvements within hours or even days, and that’s why it’s
best to continue taking any probiotic supplement for at least 7-10 days to
establish if they have any effect.
Many people first experience a die-off effect with flu-like symptoms, but these
can be prevented if starting in small dosages and gradually increasing the
strength of the probiotic.
If you notice any adverse side effects that make you feel uncomfortable such
as, bloating, upset stomach or abdominal pain, half the dosage for a couple of
days before symptoms ware off.
To achieve optimal health, and, depending on the severity of the overgrowth,
you should take probiotic supplements between 1-3 months, at least.
What probiotic supplement is best for treatment of candida
overgrowth
Probiotic supplements are a funny one when it comes to effectiveness. With a
wide variety and competition, it’s hard to know what to trust.
And so, doing your research before spending a fortune will avoid getting
burnt and ending to restart your healing.
The first thing you want to look at is the manufacturing process. Bacteria
(a.k.a probiotics) are live creatures, and so, they are sensitive to things like heat
and stomach acids.
And so, you want a probiotic that was manufactured by a unique process
that protects the probiotic strains from stomach acids and enhances
probiotic bacteria survival to the lower intestine where the microbiota is.
Secondly, you want to focus on a product that is specific to your problems.

Dophilus Veggie caps.

Cât timp ar trebui să iau un supliment probiotic pentru a trata creșterea
candidei?

Este posibil să nu observați îmbunătățiri în câteva ore sau chiar zile și de aceea
este mai bine să continuați să luați orice supliment probiotic timp de cel puțin
7-10 zile pentru a stabili dacă au vreun efect.

Multe persoane experimentează mai întâi un efect de dezactivare cu simptome

asemănătoare gripei, dar acestea pot fi prevenite dacă se începe în doze mici
și se crește treptat puterea probioticului.

Dacă observați reacții adverse adverse care vă fac să vă simțiți inconfortabil,

cum ar fi, balonare, durere stomacală sau abdominală, jumătate din doză timp
de câteva zile înainte de apariția simptomelor.

Pentru a obține o sănătate optimă și, în funcție de gravitatea supraaglomerării,

trebuie să luați suplimente probiotice între 1-3 luni, cel puțin.

Ce supliment probiotic este cel mai bun pentru tratamentul supraîncărcării cu

candida

Suplimentele probiotice sunt unul amuzant când vine vorba de eficiență. Cu o

mare varietate și concurență, este greu de știut în ce să ai încredere.
16
Și astfel, a face cercetarea înainte de a cheltui o avere va evita să vă ardeți și să
încheiați să vă reporniți vindecarea.

Primul lucru la care vrei să te uiți este procesul de fabricație. Bacteriile (de
exemplu probiotice) sunt creaturi vii și, deci, sunt sensibile la lucruri precum
căldura și acizii stomacali.

Și deci, doriți un probiotic care a fost fabricat printr-un proces unic care
protejează tulpinile probiotice de acizii stomacali și îmbunătățește
supraviețuirea bacteriilor probiotice până la intestinul inferior unde se află
microbiota.

În al doilea rând, doriți să vă concentrați pe un produs specific problemelor

dvs.

Una dintre cele mai bune recomandări ale mele sunt formulele Jarrow,
„Femeile Femeilor Dophilus Veggie”.

I believe it can be effective for some people. It contains antibodies that fight candida albicans and
nutrients that support the immune system. Coconut oil is brilliant too because it contains caprylic
acid. If you'd like more natural ways to heal candida naturally, there's a fantastic guide at:

How many times have you tried to cure your yeast infection with an anti fungal
medicine? Whether it's been with an oral anti fungal or a topical anti fungal, do you

18
 know why you are still suffering from your yeast infection? The Candida yeast in your
body is still mutating into more fungus every time your treatment stops. So you kill the
fungus with your cream, pill or lotion, and then as soon as you're course of treatment
finishes, your infection comes back, or comes back within 6 months. The only way you
can cure your yeast infection for good is to stop the Candida from mutating into more
fungus by using this time tested natural remedy I found

Candida is the most common cause of fungal infections in humans.
Several key symptoms can help you determine whether you have an overgrowth of Candida.
The most common signs of infection include oral thrush, recurring genital yeast infections,
digestive issues and fungal infections of the skin and nails.
It’s important to treat candidiasis early to prevent it from spreading and causing more serious
complications.

Hi sir.
You really explained very well. I can relate it to me perfectly.
I had developed nail fungal infection one by one. After the two nails other nail and DIPs joint
affected in a different way, pain and swelling in DIPs joints and nail disformation, pitting etc. this
follows with balantitis and skin fungal infection on arm. Someone suggested me coconut kefir
which reacted and gave me pain. Fruit juices also exaggerated the pain symptoms. Now my joints
are swollen and painful with nail going bad with oil like drops under nails. I have stopped
fructose and all sugar. Now the pain is also reducing. But fungal symptoms are not going on arm
and private part. I’m also taking itraconazol

like drops under nails. I have stopped fructose and all sugar. Now the pain is also
reducing. But fungal symptoms are not going on arm and private part. I’m also taking
itraconazol

Hi, Dr. Myers. I have been diagnosed with a very aggressive candida infection, and I have
followed every step on your list with my doctor for the past six months, but I have seen
absolutely no improvement. I have had stomach problems so bad for the last ten years that I bloat
up to looking like I am six or seven months pregnant every day- I can't wear the clothes I want to
wear, I have to wear baggy things constantly and have had to do this every day since I was
thirteen. We have been trying to figure out what is wrong for ten years and we just now got to the
candida protocol- I am better than I was by about seven percent, if I'm being generous. Nothing
makes it budge. I am still sick, I am still in pain, and I still bloat hugely every day. I have taken
caprylic acid, garlic, oregano, black walnut, everything you can think of. Nystatin, fluconazole,
etc. I eat the candida diet very strictly. I see almost no improvement at all. I am getting very
discouraged and am starting to believe that I will never be able to do things like go swimming in
public or wear fitted clothes. I just want to be healthy and am doing everything in my power to
get there, but I can't seem to make it. If you have any insight, I would absolutely love to hear it,
Dr. Myers. Thanks for reading

I have found some help with glutamine powder to heal the gut lining while taking antifinfals like
oregano oil. The glutamine really helps remove the inflammatory environment that lets the
candida grow. I’ve also completely removed grains and starches from my diet or they just grow
out of control. The glutamine has helped the most- work up slowly to forty grams a day and make
sure to take electrolytes with it or it will hurt your stomach and day you out.

I am happy to hear you have found some relief. I've been off of gluten and grains for
years and now off of dairy and oats...starting a candida and sibo diet feels like there isn't
much left to eat. Thank you so much for the advice - bought oregano oil and am seeing
another doctor next month. Have you cut out all alcohol too? I've seen conflicting
information but I have, not sure if it's safe to have a glass of wine on a special occasion.
Wishing you best of luck.

cleansing and healing your gut which may be the root of your
issues?

Dana (Amy Myers MD) Mod Alice • a year ago

Hi Alice,

The bloating sounds like possibly you are dealing with SIBO
as well. If after treating candida you are doing stool testing
and finding you still have candida, it may be possible that
there are other factors going on such as mold exposure, blood
sugar dysregulation, hormone imbalances, or toxin exposure.
Without knowing you personally, I can't say exactly what
would be the case for you - however, you might consider
setting up a wellness coaching session with me and I can
further go through your health history to see why things may
not be working best for you. https://store.amymyersmd.co...

Dear Dana, if I need your help in the future do you do
wellness coaching session on skype is it possible??I

Hi Vilma,
Unfortunately we no longer offer wellness
coaching. However, if you have not already, I
would check out IFM.org which is a great
resource to find doctors that are in your area
that might be able to work with you in helping
you to heal!
Dear Dana, I am on candida sibo now, but I started having terrible constipation because of a new
diet. I started eating a big raw carrot, a big cooked beetroot a day and two kiwis. Is it really
bad?They are starchy vegetables?I have to limit? if kiwis are are bad what to change for my
bowel issues?No good quality berries as it is winter now -10.Also I am taking bisacodyle for
constipation at this period can it ruin the programme? THANK YOU

Vilma, try to stay away from raw fiberous vegetables for awhile. Also, drink 2-3 cupfulls of
freshly squeezed cabbage juice daily. I don’t recommend mixing it with any other juices or
making it agead of time. By the 3rd day, maximum one week your bloating problem shoud be
completely resolved. Many people ask if cabbage juice will make them bloated even more- the
answer is absolutely no, it’s only cabbage fibers that cause bloating, not the juice.

Hi Vilma! I recommend keeping fruits to <1 cup per day and
starchy vegetables to <2 cups per day.
Vilma Dana (Amy Myers MD) • 9 months ago
Dear Dana when you say a cup of fruit per day, how much is it
in mililitres, grams or other measurement system?Everobody's
cup is different size. If I measure pumpkin or other vegetable do
I have to weigh cooked product or raw because the weight will
be much different. Can a cup of buckwheat ruin candida sibo
programme I added some because felt terribly weak, my energy
level even dicreased on a diet. Thank you



Arun Yadav Amit Sethi • 8 months ago

Can u please call me at 8800499282 what that betaine HCl I want to discuss

I have been really stressed beyond control this past year. I've had fatigue,
started in January this year, with a chestiness, not a cold, that persisted with a
phlegmy intermittent cough that lasted until March. Then that cleared, I then got
a urine infection and at the same time started to itch externally only around
vulva and towards back passage. Didn't clear then three and a half weeks ago
felt really run down, started to cough, not losing weight. No cold or nasal
symptoms at all. Couching till I gasped, coughing so much I could feel acid
reflux. I had an itching that tickled all the way down from throat to upper
airways, so tickly that if I breathed in or out too deeply I coughed. Then I have a
constant bolus of phlegm that is there all the time, and I'm continually clearing
that thick gooey substance. I woke up last night with a collection of this thick
stuff in my throat and found it difficult to clear, my voice has changed a little with
all the coughing. I took antihistamine and the itchiness wasn't as bad. Went to
doctors twice, and given antibiotics for a chest infection, but I didn't really have

22
 a temp. At A&E doctor said I didn't have a chest infection, Xray came back
clear, and ECG was normal, had racing heart with all coughing. Was given
Canesten last Wednesday oral tablet and cream for external problems. Initially
seemed to get better, but I have the beginnings of itch, though not as bad on
vulva. Itchiness in chest got a wee bit better, but still there and still got this
awful phlegm. I mentioned to the health worker last Tuesday could I have
candida in my airway/oesophagus, and she gave me a steroid nasal spray for
my cough/post nasal drip. I'm now at wits end. I am finding it a little difficult to
swallow phlegmy drip, and feeling so out of sorts I'm really low with it. I'm off for
all the school holidays, and this first three weeks I've been unwell the whole
time. I believe it could be such a bad case of candida brought on by relentless
stress, that it's taking over. I remember my father suffered for months, he had
COPD/Asthma and it turned out to be candida, he was right as rain within a
week on Nystatin. Going back to GP tomorrow, but if you ask them could it be
this or that, they give you a sideways glance.

 Thinking outside the box...Candida is misunderstood by the medical communities. It is a frequent

companion, or co-factor of other diseases and organisms. This can include shingles, EBV, herpes,
C.difficile, Streptococcus, H. pylori, cytomegalovirus and many more. So like a canary in the
coal mine, candida can be an indicator of something else truly worrisome that's spurring the
fungus' growth. The best way to heal from a flare-up of candida is to address the illness that's the
real cause of your symptoms. It's like killing the messenger. Again, it's a co-factor of something
else going on. So when it's found by any test done it's blamed as the culprit. It's the getaway
driver.

I had candida overgrowth in my gut diagnosed by biopsies during an endoscopy. I was prescribed
Diflucan for 2 weeks on a 200mg dose. Since my treatment ended (almost 3 weeks ago) almost
all of my symptoms have completely disappeared (rashes, depression, brain fog..) However my
stomach is especially distended, even more so than before. Even if I have a small granola bar I
am extremely bloated. I have had large problem digesting any food and have lost weight. I am
wondering if this happens because the antifungal killed off the good bacteria? If so, what is the
best source of treatment? I am wondering if this is part of recovering... but it is taking so long and
I have had little to no relief. Are there supplements that will help?

How long should Candifense and Caprylic Acid be taken. Just for a month or 3 months? Or is it
something that should be taking regularly from here on out if you struggle with candida?

 Bree (Amy Myers MD) Mod MRussom • 5 months ago
Hi there! Thank you for reaching out to us! It depends on how long you have been
dealing with candida overgrowth to determine how long to take the candida
supplements. When taking the supplements, you will notice symptoms associated
disappear. We would recommend using your body as a guide to determine if you need
to continue with the supplements. If you are still dealing with the overgrowth after 3
months, we recommend taking a break in between use as well as consulting with your
primary care physician on what the best course of action for you may be.

 Can you treat candida and SIBO at the same time? I've been dealing with SIBO for a few years.
Was diagnosed the first time 3 years ago with breath test. Have had a couple courses of treatment
but can't seem to get on top of it. I ordered Microb-clear and the soil base probiotics but am also
dealing with a severe yeast infection. What should I deal with first?

Bree (Amy Myers MD) Mod Saundra Phillips • 5 months ago

Hi Saundra! Thank you for reaching out! We apologize for the delayed response and are
so sorry to hear what you are going through. You are in the right place as we have many
resources to help guide you through this. If you are dealing with a yeast infection and
SIBO at the same time, you can follow both protocols at once. However, we would
recommend the Primal Earth soil based Probiotic over the 100 Billion Probiotic that's
included within the candida protocol. If you want to start with one protocol at a time,
we recommend SIBO first and then candida.

 I have tried the supplements developed by Dr. Myers (Caprylic acid, Candifense) and they are
VERY effective if you indeed suffer from candida overgrowth. A word of caution, though: I used
these during my holidays and I am glad I did because on day three I started experiencing some
unpleasant side effects that culminated on day four and five. Some online research taught me they
are telltale signs of candida die-off: nausea, headache, cold sweats and, worst of all, horrible
diarrhea preventing me from leaving my home for two days...however, as unpleasant as those
side effects were, they were also a sign the treatment was working and that I did indeed suffer
from candida overgrowth...what made me suspect it in the first place is that I went off estrogen a
few months ago (while staying on bio-identical progesterone only), and I have read that estrogen
dominance (that I self-d iagnosed and self-treated as no doctor would listen to me, but just told
me all women over 40 need estrogen) often goes hand in hand with candida infection...but, even
though I felt better after a couple of months without estrogen, I felt something was still missing
and, judging by the side effects while using Dr. Myers products, it was indeed untreated candida
overgrowth.
So while I wholeheartedly recommend these supplements for anyone suffering from this
condition, I thought it would be a good idea to warn others about potential side effects.
After a week, the side effects had gone away and I started feeling better with each passing day.

I am battling yeast in my body from using a steroidal inhaler for 15months without rinsing my
mouth after. No one told me to rinse after. I have itchy skin,thrush in my mouth, pain in my

24
 joints, fatigue, memory loss, headaches and itchiy ears. My dr prescribed nystatin oral solution. I
have never had a yeast infection before and had no itching there now I have itching there and
what looks like 4 polyps. I just finished my last dose of nystatin 7 days ago. I have a dr appt
scheduled in 48 hours but I am scared because everything on the internet says any type of
growths there would be a std. Could this be another symptom from the candida in my body?

Dana (Amy Myers MD) Mod Aliyah • 7 months ago

Hi Aliyah! I am so sorry to hear that you are going through all of that! Itching
certainly is a symptom of candida; however it is uncertain as to whether that is
what is causing it. You could always consider getting a candida blood or stool
test to verify if candida is what is going on in your body!

 Can someone post the actual Molecule structure of the fungi, "chemical compound" something
Maltose can actually bond to this fungi and feed? Red bloods cells, white blood cells; platelets
and plasma all found in our serum form blood so a fungi can actually attack all throwing the pH
preventing the protective roll of the white blood cells fighting agents thus including monocytes,
lymphocytes, basophil, neutrophils and one other, forgetting one sorry not a doctor! Is this fungi
bonding to the white cells or is it attacking a agent that makes up the white cell? How dangerous
is this DOC. I don't have a PHD nor do I feel I need one but for them to call it a super virus let's
see the proof here. Look at Kref also back to bonding two molecules from any from of milk. Now
it seems that red blood cells erythrocytes that carry oxygen are being attacked at all thus 250
million molecules hemoglobins per red? Is it coating the plasma membrane not allowing release
of oxygen? This is what doctors go to school for isn't it? Is the Glycolipid coating and lipids
proteins "carbohydrate molecules being bonded if so to what? Or is this attacking white Blood
cells and the nuclie? What make's this bug a supper bug it's a Fungi not a virus as were being told
but we have no medical proof on the molecule structure why? Is this the cause of some huge
pharmacy company that is covering up? Are the d octors covering something up here cause it's
starting to seem that way! Now what about plasma that's the liquid proteins like salt ect. You
saying to get this out of the "Gut" but a fungi can stay dormant and in theory Molecule attack far
more then the digestive track. "the Ear, lungs, anything" Fungi spreads just like antibiotics dah
1928 Ithink? If your going to sell someone some BS to make even more money know what your
talking about. Doctors in America are over payed pricks looking for kick backs on testing kits. So
the question in hand; bacteria, mycobacteria, fungi? what is the compound and why is not being
released? They say you can test for so....... feel free to contact me and explain I am no doctor I
feel this is definitely a pharmacy area anyone here have shots steroids ect ect ect? HHMM
kapsol101@yandex.com "is it a virus or a bacteria?" it seems to need a host! but what your
saying is at attaches like a virus so we just call it a super bug? DR Amy???

You really have two options for a cleanse: a liquids-only cleanse or a more gentle cleanse with
food. You may also opt the most thorough gut reboot: starting with the step one cleanse and then

25
 move to the step two cleanse. The whole process will set the stage for starting the candida diet as
well!

Nowadays there aretoo many online stores but all are not reliable, they are selling cheap meds
only but result is not concern for them, i am only visiting reputed online store like
mygenericpharmacy.

 Look for Functional Medicine Doctors! they are the ones who know all about Candida
and know the best supplements and ways to treat, there’s way fewer functional medicine
doctors than regular mds, I know, but you can find them practically in every big city. I
was recently diagnosed w Candida overgrowth in the gut at the Temecula Center of
Integrative Medicine in Temecula, Ca and I have all common symptoms. I am on the anti-
Candida diet now and going through the detoxification process so symptoms are worse,
but it’s normal as the Candida is dying off and going through the bloodstream. It’s been
barely 3 days since I started the diet, however, I started taking all supplements over a
week ago. Your doctor should be able to tell you which supplements are best, and even
those over the counter. I chose to take OTC Diflucan instead of the natural remedies, but
along that I have vitamins and supplements bought at the same clinic. Another trusted
source to buy supplements are: Seeking Health online and www.goodhealthusa.com I will
update progress in about a week! Good luck to all!



Dana (Amy Myers MD) Mod Kay • 8 months ago

Hi Kay! It depends on the doctor - some conventional doctors can and will check for
yeast overgrowth; but more often it is a functional provider that will more likely check
for this.

I want to try this but I’m not sure. I haven’t had a dr diagnose me for this. But it seems
interesting. I don’t feel very comfortable listing my symptoms on the Internet so I’ll keep reading
around

Dana (Amy Myers MD) Mod Kay • 8 months ago

Hi Kay! We have many people that have not had a formal diagnosis of candida try this.
Typically we see people have success OR they have no change which could mean it
possibly is not candida.
