FAQ

Question 1:
I read The Yeast Connection and the author advocates the use of Nystatin as a way to control candida in the body. Is that true?

Question 2:
I see articles on the Internet that recommend very strict diets to eliminate foods that feed candida. I feel pretty good while I’m starving the candida, but I’m not able to eat hardly anything. When I go back to eating ‘normal’ foods again to regain my energy and weight, all of my candida symptoms come back the next day. Is there a way to keep the candida in control and yet eat enough healthy foods to maintain some physical strength and well-being?

Question 3:
I was told that I need to totally eliminate all of the candida in body in order to get total relief of the candida-related symptoms, and to do this by using herbs and vitamins to totally kill the candida. Will that work, and will that solve my health issues caused by candida?

Question 6: (Acidophilis and Bifidus)
I have been taking acidophilus multiple times throughout the week and in multiple forms. I eat lots of yogurt and I take probiotics also. Am I getting rid of candida?

Question 7:
I was told that the acidophilus I had been taking for years is not the best because it wasn’t enterically coated and my stomach acid destroyed the Lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidus before it got to my intestines. Is this a true statement?

Question 8:
Whenever I eat something that has MSG in it, I develop a headache within 15 minutes and it can last for hours and sometimes every all day. Why does this happen? When I eat something that causes a similar headache, even if MSG isn’t listed in the ingredients, I have a suspicion that MSG is in that product because it is producing the same type of headache.
