Are you familiar with cultured vegetables? Well, the vegetables are cultured with several strains of lactobacteria. Unlike my little brother, lactobacteria are not picky eaters. Don't be too concerned about the lactobacteria. If you're eating, so are they. If all the claims made about FOS are true, and that's a big if, it may be very usefull stuff. The claims are that human beings and candida can't digest it, but the lactobacteria can. So, potentially we have a way to selectively feed the lactobacteria and starve the candida. There still is a lot controversy surrounding the use of FOS.

I've wondered about that as well. My doctor recommends including some grains in my diet although limited them to 2-3 times per week. Maybe the probiotics are part of the reason? She does not feel that they should entirely be eliminated but she does feel that my diet should be at least 80% greens for the first so many weeks.

Probiotics, particularly Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidus help reestablish the normal intestinal flora. Taking them during treatment will, in the long run, protect against reinfection. (Consume probiotics with meals.)
Support the beneficial bacteria which thrive in the presence of foods rich in fiber and chlorophyll. Fructo-oligo-saccharides (F.O.S.) is a type of Sugar (found in the Jerusalem artichoke) which can dramatically increase the growth rate of beneficial bacteria, especially Bifidobacterium, an organism essential for a healthy digestive tract. F.O.S. cannot be metabolized by Candida, nor does it significantly raise the blood sugar.
