Long term, the answer, I believe, is SCD.

SCD starves the bad bacteria and makes them die. Yes, it may also starve

some of the good bacteria, which is why we eat out yogurt and/or take

probiotics, to replenish the supply of good bacteria.

Andy,S. boulardii will help, but with all anti-fungal remedies, you will have die-off and increased symptoms for a while--especially if you go too quickly. Sanjay just wroked up to 3 capsules of s. boulardii twice a day and his face started to get worse. I think he is going to go back down to 2 twice a day so that the symptoms aren't so much.Hang in there, it will get better eventually. In the meantime oil of oregano works topically as well as internally.

Eileen-

1. How and where did you do the stool test for yeast? Can regular MDs do it?

2. Is the basic idea to eliminate/minimize 'sugary' fruits and 'high carb' veggies, including juices? Fruits like bananas, and Veggies like lima beans, carrots, peas and squash????? And these are easy to cook and eat, and to digest (at least for me).

I do see the Candida elimination diet in stages -- I don't get it?? How do you get enough calories? I need ~1.5 to 2 K/day.

Some websites even suggest minimize 'yogurt' -- is that right? But SCD doesn't say that -- may be because ours is fully fermented yogurt with tons of probiotics.

3. Will S. boulardii help?

LIFE SUCKS.

I am sorry, I am pissed at the hand we're dealt with.
