Does anyone have experience with Candex?

[Guest guest]

I am taking Candex for yeast and have been for about 5 days. I am also

having Constipation since I started the diet 2 mos ago. I understand

that the yeast can cause constipation so I'm hoping it will go away.

Does anyone have experience with taking Candex for this and how long

does it take to go away? I have tried the C protocal on the website

but it didn't help at all so I'm hoping this will. I was regular

before I started SCD but I was taking a fiber (illegal) supplement

which I stopped when I started the diet.

My constipation got so bad with yeast I ended up in the ER. Since I

wasn't used to constipation ( my normal symptom with UC was diarrhea/b.

diarrhea) I didn't know that I was getting a blockage. After 3 enemas

things finally started moving again and I went home. After that I

tried the prune nectar and OJ to keep things moving but it bothered the

yeast. I started taking nut flour and worked on the yeast with enzymes

and natural antifungals. It took a while to find the right

combinatiopn that worked for me.

Are you able to tolerate the nut flour? I also increased my cooked

vegetables and fluids.

I am using the Candex right now and I'm wondering what antifungal you used

in addition. The website for Candex says not to use any other antifungals

while using their product. I'm feeling a little better from the yucky symptoms

of the yeast die off but still have C and the reactions to yogurt as I

mentioned in my other post. I did one 1 enema about a month ago myself and it

cleaned me out but after that I went back to C. . Maybe I have a blockage

too,

how do you know? I do go on my own about every 3 days but it's a small amt,

but the small amt is normal sized, not like its real thin as though it was

pushed past a blockage (sorry about the details). I don't have any pain either.

I tried prescription antifungal (nystatin) but it didn't work for

me. I found on the website it says that yeast can develop an

immunity to prescription antifungals and herbs. I did use natural

antifungals with the yeast enzymes: fresh garlic and carrot juice,

gse, Oil of oregano.

I was having very painful spasms. After I was cleaned out I

decided that I needed to be proactive against the yeast since I had

very stubborn yeast overgrowth.

When I had the blockage my stools had been getting drier and drier

and then stopped almost completely for a period. The stool was not

normal sized at all.
