Anyone ever heard of or have a condition called Candida? I have been on medication and a very strict diet for it for almost 3 years and my symptoms are getting worse. Any suggestions on how to control this without meds or the strict diet?

    Hi there!!!

    My sister is a Naturopath and has told me that Candida is basically Bacteria in your digestive system, she says the main thing to stay away from is Yeast.

    I found this website... it may be helpful to you....

    Have you tried probiotics. They are sopose to help control yeast and regulate things. Its worth a try. I am not a doctor or nurse but have read a few things about probiotics. Or here is a site I looked it up on. http://www.holistichelp.net/candida.html
    Good Luck.

    For what it's worth....I've heard great things about apple cider vinager for Candida.
    I had a case of oral thrush brought on by a steroid inhaler - I gargled with ACV and drank 1 tbs/glass of water 3/x a day and it cleared up pretty much overnight. I'm not a chemist - but it's something about the body's pH levels...
