Probiotics

[Arewn]

why do people think this was an ad that convinced me of a condition - live your life, but dont make assumptions about others.

use a better source - no legit source on the internet will tell you hiv develops into aids and noticeable symptoms in weeks.. then again you seem more book smart than street smart so i suggest you just go that route and try not to use common sense too often to deduce things on your own.

Or go get tested by a doctor... no need for guesswork that way

"no legit source on the internet will tell you hiv develops into aids"

...

You could stand to be a little more "book smart."

I don't get it, you have medicine related question and ask about it anonymous crowd instead of doctor?

Candida is about as fake as Fibromyalgia was 15 years ago.

Yes, Candida is real. It's a yeast that almost everyone has. Having Candida itself does not make you sick, or cause you any problems. However, if you have Candidiasis (more commonly known as a yeast infection) or an overgrowth of Candida, would generally be treated with antifungals or systemic oral azoles. Not probiotics.

It's not that Candida isn't real. It's that Candida isn't what those commercials lead you to believe.

Go to a doctor. A naturopath, ideally.

lmao talk about out of context -what an ass

Reason? You're complaining about a fungal infection, which is living. And you're medicating by using something that promotes the growth of living things.

Actually, probiotics do help to combat Candida. This fungus is in everyone's body, but only through periods of weakened state it might get the upperhand by killing off your good bacteria. By taking priobiotics you allow your body to fight the candida naturally.

But as with any treatment, it doesn't work for everyone. That is why you should see a doctor OP, you can explain to your doctor that this particular treatment worked for you, and you can just ask advice as to what the recommended dosages are.

Candida is a fungus, not a bacteria.

I always either drink Kefir, or put Sauerkraut in a sandwich as a probiotic (also drinking the sauerkraut juice). If you can get Kefir from your local supermarket, that is a great way to get a natural pro biotic, myself and my father really enjoy this drink.

After self diagnosing myself with Candida a couple times I've been using these http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Probi...ultimate+flora 30billion strength. I was wondering if I would receive the same benefit if I use http://www.amazon.com/Renew-Life-Ult...ultimate+flora 80billion once every 3-4days opposed to the 30bil every 1-2days. (my condition passed months ago thanks to the probiotics, EDITED FOR CLARITY) now I use them cause it a very good supplement.

Also I was going to upgrade to http://www.amazon.com/Renew-Life-Ult...ultimate+flora 50billion but I noticed the 80billion has 14 different strands and the others only 10. I need somebody with real knowledge to break it down for me and tell me the better buy, right now I'm leaning towards the 80bil. Oh and there is flora for women http://www.amazon.com/Renew-Life-Ult...ultimate+flora 90billion with 12 strains... appear the same to me just different prefix (lacto vs bifi).

I know a few Canadians myself.

Go to a doctor...

Great advice!

A naturopath...

Wait, I thought you said to go to a doctor...

All I know is that I had a bad case of candida overgrowth. I went to a naturalpath who gave me some drops that tasted like rubber. I stopped getting sick all the time and my memory improved and my fibromyalgia improved.

And yes, you do need more than probiotics, but there are lots of ways to help an overgrowth of gut candida, including eliminating sugar

So much irony. If you had done even a small bit of cursory research. Or even read the information given to you in this thread, you wouldn't be so ignorant on the subject. A subject you blindly believe to be knowledgeable in, no less.

1. Candida is not a bacteria, it's a fungus. If you can't distinguish between bacteria and fungi, I'm worried for you.
2. An overgrowth of the fungus (Candida) isn't called Candida, as I stated before it's called "Candidiasis." It will help your case a lot if you can actually name what you've claimed to be afflicted with.

[lokithor]

it bewilders me people without a clue chime in on a gaming forum. why bother if you dont have a clue and cant give any help to the subject - what a dick you are lol.

It bewilders me that people try to get medical advice on a gaming forum.

Wait, I thought you said to go to a doctor...

NDs are great! In OR naturopath specialists are covered by medical insurance, not sure about other states.

[Seani]

It isn't always that simple. I was without health insurance for awhile. Just have to get the most information you can, and make the best informed decision.

[Pendulous]

This seems to fall under the idea of medical advice, which we do not allow here. There is too much opportunity for bad advice that can cause serious harm to someone.
