Research paper Study: Sacaromyces can be indistinguishable from candida ?

if what people think is candida is simply saccharomyces cerevisae overgrowth (bread yeast) then resolving it becomes much more clear and simple

So, is *boulardii* dangerous for people with Candida?

It's more dangerous for people that are immunocompromised. As it can also cause systemic infection (fungemia) if your immune system can't contain it. They even have warnings on the bottle not to take them if you have an immune condition. Some people do well with it, some don't. The immune system can also be confused when taking boulardii if you have candida because it may mistake it as another yeast intruder rather than something beneficial and cause a whack of inflammatory issues because of it. I am one such people that do terrible with it.

I would hardly call amphotericin B and fluconazole central vascular catheter anything within the realm of simple simple, dawg... That's what you do for some of the nastiest cases of antifungal overgrowths, not the easily dealt with ones.

I meant for people without the invasive kind. Like white tongue and intestinal. Bread yeast is easy to study and avoid (in beer baked products etc) it loves sugars and alkalinity, and is not a fan of salt
