Congratulations on your results! Some of the beneficial bacteria (Lactobacilli)of the intestinal tract synthesize B vitamins, which play a role in the production of HCL. When antibiotics wipe out all of the bacteria in the intestinal tract, Candida inhibits the regrowth of Lactobacilli species. Correcting the fungal imbalance allows for these bacteria to repopulate the intestinal tract. Once the Lactobacilli are re-established, they inhibit fungal candida, sythesize B vitamins, and HCL production kicks in leading to increased absorption of iron.
Correcting fungal candida imbalances also helps to improve blood sugar regulation. Some of that affect is via improved liver function through better intestinal flora. Glad to be of help!!!
