MzTami,
Sorry I am so late resonding!!
Sorry-- but there are alot of Medical Doctors that don't believe in yeast/ candida infections that happen in the Gastro system..
You can have it in your mouth --it's called thrush, also vagina, and nails -- both fingers and toes but there is no test for yeast overgrowth in your intestines.
But, I get it every time I take an antibiotic for 5 to 7 days depending on the type antibiotic-.
People that have HIV/Aids that get pnuemonia and are treated with alot of antibiotics-- are given Diflucan and or Sporanox an antifugal drug-- in large doses. But for some reason -- some Doctors just don't believe fungus type infections exist??
There several OTC remedies you can try-- Caprylic acid, or Capralin, garlic (Garlinase) is good, Wild oregano oil, Olive leaf extract, Kolorex and Pau'd arco tea. You can buy at health food stores or online.
There is a very good yogurt recently put on the market by Dannon-- named Activia. I have been using it about 2 weeks and it really helps the intestine work better. I still like Stonyfield Farm yogurt.
Probiotic supplements that are very good are Culturelle, Reuteri and PB-8.
I also buy these online.
I wish you well---Harry
