Re: Psyllium question

 Went to the store to pick up psyllium powder to start a cleanse,try to move some of the waste out ....I initially grabbed one jug, and then looked and saw it had 4 grams sugar per serving...so I put it back , and grabbed a sugar free version..

Got home, mixed up a drink , then looked down at the ingredients and saw it contains citric acid (thats what I get for being in a rush, I figured since it was sugar free it would be better....Didnt notice it was orange flavored LOL)

Is the citric acid going to exacerbate the candida situation much? (I'm only using going to be using 1 tbsp 2xday)..

Citric acid helps to fight Candida by maintaining an acid environment that Candida does not like.  Candida thrives in an alkaline environment, which turns on the Candida growth gene and converts the Candida in to its aggressive fungal form. Acids on the other hand turn off the Candida growth gene and keep the Candida in its more benign yeast form. A couple of related posts:
