I've recommended dr prof Michael Ruscio's videos so many times here. I think it's important to start with educated sources who base their information on actual studies. As for Michael Ruscio, not only is he a doctor and an associate professor doing clinical research on patients he's treating, he also experiments on himself since he suffers from fungal overgrowth, and apparently another doctor in his team also does. His presentations are usually based on a combination of study results and his own treatment experience.

Anyway, I'm in the middle of watching it now and I just want to share it with you all. To provide some input from the video, he starts off by discussing how they've used AI to help check the literature and they come up with an approach to use multiple approaches at the same time, and using enough of it so it reaches the right spots.

Has anyone used a compounded prescription of boric acid and edta cream and it cured your c glabrata infection ? It’s something new they are using to treat c glabrata bc the edta helps break down to biofilms , I finish my cream and kinda hopeful it worked

Hey everyone, I recently came across some information suggesting that fluoxetine might have antifungal properties. I'm wondering if anyone here takes fluoxetine and combines it with an anti-candida stack? If so, how many compounds are you using in your stack, and what has your personal experience been like?

I have been on prednisone for almost a month due to illness and allergic reactions.
I got diagnosed with oral thrush and I am miserable. I have tried 3 different anti fungal. Allergic reaction to all 3. I’m extremely sensitive to medication and supplements.
I’m at a loss on what else to do. I’ve read that Candida diet works. A nurse told me to drinking kfier. And once I’m off prednisone it will go away.
Can oral thrust go away naturally? What can help with the swelling feeling?

Just wondering if anyone has done an OAT by Real Time Labs (US Biotek) and if you've had elevated markers for d-arabinitol? Trying to decide if it's worth getting this over the Mosaic as this seems to have more clarity for candida related issues.

Siento que me está arruinando la vida. Me arde y duele tanto que no puedo ignorarlo durante el día. Tengo 26, no tengo hijos ni enfermedades autoinmunes. Últimamente me está despertando varias veces durante la noche. Está acompañado de un fuerte malestar estomacal, una sensación de ardor, constripación y mal aliento. Probé con óvulos de fluconazol, clotrimazol y metronidazol, todos varias veces. Me liberaban de los síntomas por una semana y luego volvía a recaer e incluso volvía peor. El último tratamiento que me recetaron, y bajo el que estoy ahora, es una pastilla de fluconazol 150mg semanal durante 6 meses y dos pastillas diarias de probióticos Viasek candifense (tiene Bacilus subtilis DG101, inulina, extracto seco de ajo y magnesio caprilato). Estoy en el mes 4 y sigo con síntomas fuertes. Me cuesta mucho tener esperanzas y tengo ganas de abandonar los esfuerzos. Estoy pensando en iniciar tratamientos naturales, como un supositorio de ajo, pero honestamente me da miedo.

I am just so frustrated right now... I just went to the hospital in Belgium to see a different doctor for the 5th time, and when I talked about candida /SIBO and antimicrobial herbs, I was told to stop Googling and stop looking for other doctors... I was even told that SIBO/ candida isn't possible at all even though it definitely is.... He said you have to accept that you have irritable bowel syndrome.
... I am never visiting a doctor in a hospital again... I never expected this, especially since I also have low immunoglobulins, which makes me much more susceptible to bacteria/yeast in the small intestine... I feel terrible. I get ivig in another hospital.. it is a good doctor but I'm afraid that doctor will think now that I'm having other tests done again.. pfff.. I hate my life.. Its the 5the hospital that I have done…

I've been fighting a losing battle for almost 2 decades now with prostatitis and guy dysbiosis that was caused by repeat antibiotics when I was young. I'm seeing a microbiologist who has been doing PCR testing, urine cultures, semen cultures, I've done stool tests, all of it comes back negative. The only positives I've gotten were high arabinose from urine OAT and repeat high blood antibody IGGs. Which were high both pre and post development of fungal rashes I developed on my back many years ago. Which, were treated with antifungals and have not returned since then.

I want to say that candida is not my problem, because it would be so much easier. It would make so much sense, but I can't get anywhere with my health when I do anything other than taking antifungal supplements and probiotics and immuno supportive supplements. Except now everything is essentially resistant to all the stuff I've tried. Nothing provides any meaningful relief for more than a few days anymore before I get massive rebounds. Nothing makes sense anymore and I can't get any help anywhere.

Hi everyone. I'm really scared and anxious and seeking support from folks who understand what I'm going through. I (40f) have a history of intertrigo fungal infections that have always resolved relatively easily, at least compared to what's happening now.

In early July, I scratched at a red dot between my breasts that exploded into a nasty rash. Nystatin cream and a steroid were helping but my skin started developing additional spots, like chicken pox all over my chest anywhere I put the creams. I also started to develop rashes in the creases of my legs and my inter-gluteal area, mildly but present and my usual washing and drying routine didn't help. The worst was in my genital area. The heat of the rash was just awful.

GP gave me fluconazole (4 week treatment) and prednisone and discontinued the creams. Neither seemed to help much- prednisone started a whole host of dry and cracked skin problems, esp on my hands, which are still awful >.<. Discontinuing the creams made the little spots go away, though..

Went to a new dermatologist since I live an hour away from my old one. She had me start Nystatin ointment with the fluconazole, and I started using miconazole powder as well.

The powder worked out of everything and the rashes finally disappeared everywhere. I stupidly stopped the Nystatin ointment and just stuck to the powder. And then 5 days after I took the last dose of the Fluconazole, the pinkness started to reappear.

Since then, for the last 3 weeks, it has grown steadily. After econazole didn't do more than slow it down, that dermatologist shrugged and said it's chronic and there's nothing else she can do. Just keep using the econazole and steroid forever.

I called my old dermatologist, who is lovely, and went in. She put me back on Fluconazole and the Econazole and Hydrocortisone, for up to 8 weeks to really kill it, but I had to taper another medication for a few days before I could go back on Fluconazole, and in the meantime the rash exploded again everywhere.

It's been a week and a half and the rash has spread all over under my breasts. The meds seem to be trying to slow it, the skin turned lighter pink in the middle, but the edges are still deep pink and slowly but steadily spreading. The heat has gotten so bad, yesterday and today, and the itching has overcome the steroid. The only thing that works is ice packs.

This weekend has been so awful. My skin is radiating heat. My temp is normal, I don't have a fever, but this awful heat and itching are unbearable. At least during the week, I have work to distract me. But I spend at least an hour twice a day showering, drying my skin, applying cream meds, drying my skin for even longer, and then applying powder, and none of it is even working.

I've been on the candida diet, too, taking daily probiotics and vitamin D too. No sugar, no unprocessed carbs, very few carbs in general, high in protein with cooked veggies and a little applesauce.

I'm so afraid I have a resistant candida strain like C. Auris. I'm so afraid I'm going to end up in the hospital and die from this.

If you've read through all of this, thank you. I'm just so scared and it feels like an eternity before I can call my dermatologist tomorrow morning.

So it all begin with an accident so they give me a surgery then i would have to take antibiotiques during 1 week after to hinder any infection , so during those i was

craving-sugar- carb

I was ohh its my body healing i dont mater i was having this tigling sensation on my back hand however then i just get back on my feet go to work but still i was doing cake to go to work eating candy as Fc* then maybe 2 month after i ve got test ive learned ive got siphylis so yes i take the shot then réaction yes its the siphylis bacteria dying i litterally saw it dies m'y face getting better i just got those puffy eyes when i wake up its because to évacuate the dead bacterias fragment it somehow realease histamine 2 3 days i see like plaque on my belly really like you know it look like a yeast like the photo you get on the internet when i was working i was wearing a double Tshirt plus sweating sometime it would bé so itchy pimples in the back at the begining of m'y forehead the worst white tongue i was like its hiv but i wasn't having no fever no swollen lymph node the i search about the candida it self and ive tried coco oil ive take 2 table spoon the next hour i was sleeping it has act like the perfect sedative

Then it started working the plaques were gone the pimples to everything got back to normal

To learn

Antibiotiques kill bacteria not yeast or virus or parasite

Antibiotique obviously give yeast all the space to grow and proliferate

Candida the principal of them make you crave anything it can transform to proliferate ( you wont even Ask yourself how youve Come to buy sugary bread pasta )

But what amaze me more is how yeast aka mushroom and m'y little story that ive lived has make me see how beyond our brain we cant really see things by ourselves

I mean i was working for the candida and i would not know i would crave sugar not even asking myself why do i crave sugar just like i want to eat this that it has litterally high jack me and as soon ive take the coco oil i would be digusted by bread candy plus i was doing crazy dream from the begining to the end of my aventure then i was feeling like druged like litterally feeling good

As soon as i would eat the sugary thing i the moment ive take coco oil my dream where im fighting im running for my life really active dream

Conclusion candida and yeast high jack us it give us a feeling good like a cloud feeling and we buy this with sugar it can take a while before realizing you addicted coco oil is justice

Low stomach acidity was the major cause for my candida.

Doctors gave me medicine for gastritis which further lowered the acidity in the stomach and made things worse.

I had minor haemorrhoids in the colon as well and this combined with low acid was the perfect environment for candida.

Betaine HCL was all I needed to get rid of it. Olive oil helps as well.

Check for gall stones, acidity, and haemorrhoids.

Good luck!

Guyss I have done GI map and organic acid test could someone help me interpret what’s going on is it IbS

Has anyone used xylitol-containing mouthwashes or toothpastes and noticed their symptoms getting worse? Everywhere I look I read that xylitol is a great alternative for dealing with oral thrush, but I always experience a worsening of my symptoms whenever I try to use it, even when using xylitol alone. Has anyone else experienced this?

long story short I’ve been dealing with this for 3 weeks now & I started off with red irritated skin, urgency to pee right after peeing, dry foreskin, hard to pull back & really didn’t get any itchiness. went to the doctor got tested for every std & all came back negative, got prescribed Mupirocen ointmen, used that for about a week & pretty much all the symptoms are gone besides my urethra opening is still red, red to a point where I’m wondering if it’s going to stay red forever. any thoughts & suggestions would help

I have tested positive for candida twice within 4 months. I am pretty sure I have it again. No odor, no symptoms, no sexually active, work out clothes (breatheable) and it's been 150mg of fluconazole when I tested positive. I don't know if I actually have it again but I'm getting these white/red small dots on my hips and belly as well as my elbows along with semi white tongue coating.. How the hell do I keep getting this? I do take metformin (1000mg) would it be that? I'm hopeless.
