So heres a little background… I realized I probably have a problem with Candida (yeast) overgrowth due to antiobiotic use a while back, sinus infections, and a diet full of dairy, meat, and processed foods instead of fruits and vegetables (and low fiber).

Before I started any type of treatment for this, my "stools" were irregular, maybe 2 times in 3 days, and I would often either be constipated or have really loose, smelly diahrrea (sorry).

I first started on the Candida Diet and only ate berries, meat, vegetables, and everything else in extreme moderation (except for some alcohol on the weekends). I then started using Candida Clear by NOW, its a blend of potent anti-fungal herbs which got pretty good reviews. I started taking this to help with the Candida, and thought I would also do a colon cleanse concurrently to make sure there wasnt some kind of blockage making my candida worse. I used Oxy-Powder, which uses ozone (oxygen) to cleanse the digestive system. I think my bowels might really be screwed up though, because when I took the recomended dose (4) I didnt get much results. Once I upped it to 8 pills, I got the effects I had expected but while it said to expect 3 bowel movements a day, I still only got 1 or 2. I also take Dr. Ohhira’s probiotics to help replenish the good baceria. Together, this approach led me to lose a lot of waterweight and my acne got MUCH better over a week or two.

After doing this for a while I decided to use a psyllium (fiber) based colon cleanser to see if it would work better than the oxy-powder. I am still taking Candida-fighting pills but now taking psyllium twice a day. I expected this to increase my bowel movements and maybe even pull out a few "ropes" like you see from Colonix (psyllium is the main ingredient in the system). None of this has acomplia money order happened – since I started taking the psyllium I have felt bloated around my midsection and clogged up. I’ve gone back to only having bowel movements of about 2 in 3 days.

Now my main question is: could the candida be why I am so clogged up? Could it be from eating too much meats? What should I do now? I just want to clear out my gut, and now I’m afraid the psyllium I thought would help is lodged in there and might not come out… what supplements could help?

Ive been having recurrent candida problems for two years now. It manifests itself in the yeast infections which will go away with some treatments, but after a week come back. I have taken Fluconazole for 2 weeks, than for 7 weeks, and while acomplia approval I was taking it I was fine, but after about 2-3 weeks I got the symptoms back. The other things I tried are vaginal creams and gential violet, which helped, but it comes back in a weeks or so.
I also noticed that the yeast infections are connected to my period, they disappear during the period, and are really weak a week after the period, and they gain strength about ten days before my period.
I take birth control pills (Yasmin) for about a year now.
Can anyone with the similar problem give me any suggestions, how did you overcome the candida???
Any help will be strongly appreciated.
About 3 days ago I have strated to keep the candida diet. I dont eat any sugars and minimum amount of carbs. + I take Lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium twice a day in a capsule (both about 5*10^8), as well as enteric coated garlic oil.

Is taking garlic oil capsules as efficient as taking real garlic?
I still eat 1 apple a day, is that allright?
Should I do anything else?
GYNODOC, Thanks a lot! I have NOT been checked for diabetes, but my grandma has it and my uncle too, so I will definitely check. I have limited all yeast or sugar containing products, and alcohol.
This internal cleanse product, is it those Detox things? Can you suggest anything in particular?

ELIZABETH M, if you wear jeans isnt it a little rough on you withour panties?

Is it really bad when you drink beer like ones a week and you have candida overgrowth. Ive been on candida diet for a month not really s strict diet but like little bit of sugar ones in a while. Ive been treating candida with organic garlic everyday, apple cider vinegar, and probiotics. So my thrush got much better. Like the whole tongue was white and after a month only half of the tongue was white. So then i decided buy acomplia pills to go to a party to have some fun and i drank allot of beer, Next day my skin started breaking out and my tongue was worse then ever,, It was so white. Is it really bad because i did that. Do i have to start over now with the candida diet and supplements. Or is it ok to drink ones in a while..
