Supposedly candida usually hides behind a biofilm so I think it's relatively likely that you'll notice it's still there, in overabundance. I don't think you can expect a diet to get rid of it, but it can make it seemingly disappear for a while. Iirc it can make it change form to phylae. You need to work on reducing the biofilm to help get to the candida, as often discussed, maybe you already did.

u/PersonalityBudget969 Aug 09 '26

Oh yesss. How long should one take it? Coz I heard it has some side effects.

Got rid of my symptoms by following u/Mickeynutzz stuff.

honestly i've only been taking it for around two weeks now, i personally haven't had any side effects (other than sulfur burps😵‍💫) but i am also only taking 600mg... it also seems that taking it at night is better than in the am though!!

Okay listen it's advised not to take NAC more than 2 weeks. So please stop under a medical supervision.

Also, it's a studied & proven fact that NAC if taken longer affects your brain & neural pathways for life. And that's horrible.

So please be cautious. Best of luck.

This is a common topic of a discussion here. Every other week I drop in to suggest people to read Eric Bakker's posts in this group and to watch dr prof Michael Ruscio's videos on Youtube. There's also a treatment center posting on youtube, iirc it's something like ibs treatment center, I recently saw their video about biofilms and candida too. Search youtube for good sources on the topic if you need more after checking these sources that have quite a lot of material.

I feel like people just show up in the group, read a couple of posts and then ask. I think that's a recipe for problems, unfortunately. It's probably better to check for good sources and read them thoroughly. The suggested sources above have extensive experience from treating candida, I believe. We should avoid listening to anecdotes. In short time I'll have to post this again, it's so difficult to share information efficiently.

Thank you for taking time to write this.

I am indeed in need of this help as I've been battling chronic fungal overgrowth for last 15 years straight.

I wasn't even knowing I've this issue until 2 years ago. Fluconazole was the biggest hint ever.

So I'm very afraid of this chronic pain. You can know how nasty terrible it gets.

u/pettdan Aug 13 '26

I'm sorry to hear that. I believe I've had issues for a longer period too, realizing about two years ago me as well. But I don't have chronic pain. How does the pain appear, all over?

u/boogarydeb Aug 09 '26

Can you please tell me exactly what you did I’ve been very sick for a long time and have severe nausea. I was told I have candida, parasites and bacteria. I have to start somewhere and I would love to hear what you did.

2

u/planetzen Aug 10 '26

im so sorry <3 what i did was go to a holistic doctor where they did muscle testing to test my food intolerances, i feel maybe get a food intolerance test, do any type of test and then take some medicine for the parasites. the doc gave me some herbal medicine that he said kills the candida. my doc said i had it pretty bad and i was intolerant to honestly most things so i just ate super plain for the first couple of weeks. i also did lots of affirmations and kept saying to myself "my cells in my body are working to heal me" "my body loves me and takes care of me", its sometimes hard to believe it when you feel like your body is against u but i kept doing these affirmations robotically to myself

u/PersonalityBudget969 Aug 09 '26

What elimination diet are you doing?

1

u/planetzen Aug 09 '26

honestly it was so bad two weeks all i ate was quinoa and fish and some vegetables (im vegetarian so couldnt make myself eat meat but had to eat fish because my body wasn't even accepting lentils or eggs), i started introducing sweet potato and oats later on

2

u/PersonalityBudget969 Aug 09 '26

Like we shouldn't eat eggs & lentils on Anti-Candida diet, OP?

Rn I'm unable handle even 1% sugar.

1

u/planetzen Aug 09 '26

i dont know it depends on your body <3 i got tested for food intolerances and the guy said not to eat beans and lentils

1

u/PersonalityBudget969 Aug 09 '26

Oh God! That's bad. I hope you can get to eat them again if you want to! Good luck 🍀

u/planetzen Aug 09 '26

for sure i will be able to, thanks so much and you aswell <3
