About IBS Treatment Center
===========================
Dr. Stephen Wangen, co-founder and Medical Director of the IBS Treatment Center, and his staff have successfully helped over 10,000 people resolve irritable bowel syndrome and chronic digestive problems since 2005.
Some patients have had IBS symptoms so severe that they spent a considerable amount of time in the hospital. Others are suffering alone at home and are no less frustrated with the impact that it is having on their lives. The thread that tied them all together was that they had never seen an IBS expert (much different than a gastroenterologist), a doctor whose only mission is to help people solve IBS.
Patients work with us from around the country and the world via our telemedicine services. Get back your life! Work with us via telemedicine. Visit the IBS Specialists at ibstreatmentcenter.com

[@DauphinPourpre]

I finally figured that I have a candida overgrowth when I started probiotics to heal my gut from a bad bout with a food borne illness. They worked well for over a month then they started making me feel illl, + stomach pains + low grade fever. It took me a while to figure out that the rice noodles that I added to my diet as something easy to digest caused the deterioration of my health. When I eat Protein, in small quantities, the symptoms subside. I dealt with a candida overgrowth at least 20 years ago. Oregano Oil was a life saver. I just purchased some. Hopefully, it will help alleviate this yeast overgrowth.

Best of Health!

[@bryanhermans4303]

I am so glad to see you address this topic. Some years ago I had a traumatic accident that also resulted in a hard to fight body-wide infection. That battle was one, but left me with a hideous case of candida overgrowth which turned out to be harder to knock down than the first. But we did get a handle on it. Just like you mentioned, I had to change my diet (strictly in my case), use both natural and prescription agents, and lastly, incredible patience to get thru the repeated die-off phases. To this day, I have to be smart and not let it get an advantage. Another benefit I had by cutting out all those sugary foods I craved was that I trimmed down significantly and also had way less joint pain. Anyone who has had to have an intense or lengthy antibiotic treatment could be candidates for a candida backlash.

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

Thanks for sharing your journey. It's real, and I've seen it many times. Well done!

[@juliawhite7840]

Hi there. In desperation I came across this video. I really appreciated the way you gave ranges to explain minor and moderate cases versus severe. Very informative and it made my symptoms feel validated. I have likely had candida overgrowth for 6+ years (only recently diagnosed via GI MAP), as well as leaky gut. Of course, the indigestion, belching and GI issues are horrendous and never end, but my truly unbearable and debilitating symptom that completely rules my life is the brain fog. Over the years, without knowing what I had or how to kill the candida (and feeding it the wrong things), the brain fog has gotten so out of control that I feel intoxicated all times of the day and have faintness (not actually fainting but feeling like I might). This treatment gave me lots of hope, and two days ago marked one week since starting the regimen my doctor put me on to kill the yeast: antifungal supplements, strict diet, and lifestyle changes. I know it is only day 9 of the treatment, and my GI MAP detected very high candida levels, but I am so used to things not working that I fear (for my physical and mental health) that this will be another fail. I know you mentioned that it can take weeks to see a difference. I just would like to know if it sounds normal, with my very high candida levels, that I am still not feeling much better at day 9? Thank you, just feeling desperate for relief…:( -Julia

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

Hi Julia. Thanks for sharing all of that. 9 days is only the beginning. You'll get there, but it can take awhile. But everything you wrote about sounds like Candida.

Supplements that helped me include alpha lipoic acid and molybdenum. They mop up the toxins. Sweating through sauna or exercise will also help to rid toxins.

[@anselknight1866]

Could you make a video about advanced Candida and how it’s play into chronic Lyme? I’ve been carnivore for awhile but still puking bits of ground meat and herbs and sometimes even greens. All I eat is meat and fish, low/zero carb cheese, cream, raw cream line milk, and low carb veggies and sometimes berrys and flax/chia/hemp/psyllium seeds when I crave fiber. Lots of garlic and black cumin oil, raw oregano from my garden and ACV with pine needles I made a shrub. Im better but not good. I think the Candida and “Lyme” or vector sourced pathogens are working together and I don’t know what I’m missing maybe the subfractured castor oil or the safe anti-fungal you mentioned. Pretty desperate at this point.

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

That's a great question. But it sounds like you need a lot more than a video. You need something a lot more customized than that. We'd be happy to work with you to figure out what that is.

Do you have any experience or anecdote with grass fed colostrum supplementation for Candida ?

Still use anti-fungals like Oregano, garlic, Mct-oil… I think the problem is stress-related. Hate my job. One month to go then something else. Need to change that… So my question was… Are fermented foods ok to rebuild my gut and to push Candida more out?

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

Fermented foods are trick. They aren't a yes or no answer. For example, if you happen to be reactive to the food, fermenting it isn't likely to be any better. And there are different types of fermentation, bacterial and yeast. And I wouldn't recommend yeast fermentation for treating Candida. Also, it's possible that you don't have the right antifungal to treat your particular strain of Candida. And of course stress doesn't help either. Don't give up. You can figure it out!

[@japonesa5186]

Same. It just becomes a problem at random. Tried all the diets.

[@Early-pl4wr]

Did you resolve it?

[@vulcan_nz]

Kefir and Saurerkraut never did anything for me but cause histamine related issues never did anything that felt like a full Detox only thing I noticed my skin got smoother but the histamine issues werent worth it and you cant just push through them, but when I started taking a multi strain Probiotic Supplement with Acidpholius and Bifido strains I experienced intense die off for almost a week with Flu like symptoms until I felt better Acidpholius is a Histamine Neutral Strain and Bifido actually is known to degrade histamine problem is lot of fermented foods have histamine raising strains, Store bought probiotic yogurts were only making the overgrowth worse too for me I could tell cause my dandruff and skin was getting worse cause they contain too much sugar most of them have about 14 grams ! not only that they have histamine raising strains as well. I can show an article that does prove Kefir has antifungal properties apparently the yeasts are beneficial and not pathogenic type like Candida and that could explain why my skin improved, but if your somebody like me that has Histamine Intolerance its a no go. I have a feeling you can get rid of Histamine Intolerance once you correct your microbiome though having more good than bad bacteria and I plan on fixing that with my Probiotic Supplement but not Fermented food cause I doubt it will. You should add Ginger to your antifungal list too, its good for Candida /SIBO as long as you dont have problem with Sacylites.

Hey milk is the cause of it mostly. You got to drop all dairy. Do food allergy test if you wish. I was the same. Milk kefir yoghurt. Made ne feel awful. Thought I was dead. 2 years dairy free and I'm alive again. Celery. Juice will help. Take it every day

Quick question sir. What about candida of the skin? Is the treatment still the same?

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

It's mostly about using a topical antifungal agent, and using it long enough to truly get the job done.

[@nomade438]

Are you saying we should avoid fresh fruits?

[@Padraigp]

Pretty much ...sugary foods anyway... sweet fruits and a lot of them generally the yeasts in fruit are not the same as yeasts in bread pasta etc. So it's not as bad but it depends how much you eat. If you eat enough to give yourself a glucose spike then yes avoid that. But not all fruit is bad either. Bitter melon actually can bring down sugar levels. Bitter fruits would be very good. But yeast makes fruit into wine. And so they feed on fruit. Like grapes and peaches. Sweet fruits. If they're Bitter fruits that's not so bad or if you're only eating a small amount. You can get great vitamin c from strawberries and lots of antioxidants in blueberries but pick a variety that's not sweet. Usually the organic ones aren't so sweet or heritage varieties. Things like vegetables too... potatoes peas carrots. Anything which yeast can feed on. I still ate fruit when I did the diet ..and ate sweet fruit but just a small amount. It was OK. The body can fight it off if its not getting too much food. Stopping carbs would be more a priority than stopping fruit because of the other yeasts that can eat the fruit that are not candida. Vinegar for example also has yeast but its a very different form of yeast. One way you can test a food is microwave it very hot to kill anything naturally on it. Let it cool down then spit in the cup and put a lid on it. In a day you will see the lid of cling film starts to raise up ..that means your spit has fermented the food. If you eat yoghurt eith fruit this also helps a lot. The lactobacteria fight against yeast so if you do eat fruit or sweet vegetables eat an amount of yoghurt of sugar kraut with it to counteract it.

Don't eat sugar. Do eat yoghurt all day long and saur kraut. Do take iodine. Do use a tea tree oil to brush your teeth. One drop is enough. Wash your mouth out with salt water after eating. Do take a multivitamin with vitamin d to help your immune system. Do not eat any sugar if you do need something sweet choose a fruit and eat yoghurt directly after wards and wash your mouth out with salt water. Dont use mouth wash which will kill the other bacteria that fights yeast. Should go in a few days.

The drug you're taking may not be effective against particular strains. Try natural remedies - Garlic, Oregano Oil, Neem etc. Eat boiled greens & white meat like chicken, fish. Exercise and do running which helps induce sweating and release of toxins. Also do reach out to the doc in the video on his website for a professional consultation.
