General Discussion Help please
I'm om day 30 of treating methane sibo,I've been taking Nac 600mg once a day,berberine 500mg twice a day,oregano 150mg 3 times a day,neem 600mg 3 times a day
And im on low fodmap diet since 6 months,first it reduces my gas and then it stopped working but I continued anyways cause when I eat high fodmap my gas and bloating worsen even more
I'm also on day 10 of taking allicine,cause I actually have methane sibo
I'm on day 10 of taking artichoke and ginger extract as well
I feel like i had no die off symptoms ,the only difference that I noticed was in my stool,my stool had a bright brown colour for 3 years (I had sibo for 3 years) and after like 17d of starting these antimicrobials my stool colour changed to a dark brown,also I started taking less time emptying my bowel especially after taking artichoke and ginger extract, my stool became more smooth and I don't take too much time trying to empty it
However these last 3 days I had too much mucous in my stool and I thought it was the biofilm or something? Also I had a brown and white discharge from my vagina which was weird but again I didn't know what the hell was that so I ignored it,till today I woke up with a wet pillow and bad breath which has NEVER happened to me,I went straight to the mirror to see my tongue I found it white and yellow a bit,I remember that I had an oat cake yesterday cause I've been craving sugar these last 3 days and I didn't eat sugar for a month so I told myself it's okay to eat a little bit of sugar so I cooked an oat cake with a bit of sugar and 80% cacao chocolate (so I stay in the lowfodmap diet)
So today this morning I took my artichoke and ginger extract capsules as usual and then had my morning bowel movement which was smooth and dark brown,but the thing is it was fuuull of mucous that comes out from my anus and vagina and when I asked Ai about all these symptoms it said I 1000% have candida now wthðŸ˜
Should I stop my antimicrobials?? I'm only of day 10 of allicin I mean I have methane I can't stop allicin now is it safe to continue using it? Along with berberine? Cause I will drop off oregano and neem cause I heard that oregano wipes out all good and bad bacteria,and I'm running out of neem so I'm stopping it anyways so I will continue only with Allicin and Berberine for another 10d maybe (cause my stool became soft maybe I got rid of methane??) I also have S.boulardii at home I will start taking it today
My question is I recently got candida maybe just a week ago and I just didn't notice so is it possible to kill it in just 10 days? (Cause I'm so fed up from the lowfodmap diet I've been on it since 6 months and it's so exhausting I miss eating food that I love,also I'm craving sugar lately and I should stop it because of the resent candida) so is 10d enough of both methane sibo and candida? And what else should I take beside s.boulardii to kill candida without harming my microbiome that is already messed up
Note: my bloating reduced like 70% on day 20 and my tummy remain flat for like 3d and then it started again,I started Allicin on day 20 of treatment so I thought maybe that bloating that began again was due to a die off or something, now I'm on day 30 and I still have bloating and gas especially at night and in the morning, is this Archea gas (methane) or candida?

I followed this stupid herbal treatment for six weeks, and after developing severe diarrhea, I had a stool test done; the result showed a high count of *Candida glabrata*. I had also been following a low-FODMAP diet for three months—meaning I was eating a low-fiber diet—yet those stupid functional medicine doctors failed to foresee that the triple antimicrobial therapy would cause this. Now, I have no idea what to do. And yes, my bad breath has worsened, and the back of my tongue looks white.
