Re: Re: ACV as candida treatment

[Guest guest]

I'm confused because I thought vinegar was so detrimental to yeast?

And, heh, I'd probably like it - or for a while anyway.

a week of this treatment and oh my how gross! It said to sip on it, well aside

from wanting to spit it out I'd rather just down the straight vinegar and get it

over with, is this ok to do or is there some benefit to the sipping and diluting

with water?

I’m still trying to get the “facts” about

using ACV as a candida treatment. I’m in the middle of updating the

candida & SCD files I put together a few years ago, so have lots of

resources to wade through.

In a general way, anything fermented is something candida

and other fungal organisms love. Which includes vinegar. All of the

sources I’ve looked at so far discuss vinegars as being something to

limit or avoid while eliminating a candida overgrowth. Unfortunately they

don’t mention ACV, don’t differentiate between types of

vinegars. But I’m still looking at the newer texts and articles in

the medical literature databases, since there could well be updated information

on this.

I’ll post what I discover.

I'm confused about ACV being used for candida. Everything I've read in diets to fight candida says that vinegar makes candida worse because it's fermented and to avoid anything with vinegar like mustard, soy sauce, mayo, etc.... I'm not understanding where the idea that ACV is a good choice to fight candida, something I've struggled with for years.

Another thing I'm confused about is the S. Boulardii supplement. I read that antibiotics kill off the bifi bacterium in particular and yeast will move in to take their place if you don't supplement with bifi. I'm allergic to yeast in all forms, and S. Boulardii is not an option for me.

I'm wondering if those who've been on long term antibiotics must end up taking S. Boulardii to be rid of the yeast that may have taken over the place of bifi ( killed by antibiotics) in the gut. Seems it would be easier to just take the bifi and avoid the possible yeast issues for folks like me? I'm thinking bifi may not be good, but neither is systemic candida. What's the lesser of 2 evils?
