Florastor vs antifungal herbs
The medication my doctor gave me, florastor, says in the description it is a good yeast-freeze dried and in order for it to be effective, I cannot take antifungals.
For Leaky gut/candida, I take
Colloidal Silver , oregano oil, coconut oil and just started taking calendula tea. These all seem effective but I am thinking of trying florastor. I plan t post my results. I am guessing florastor works like kefir, populating the gut with good yeast, though Florastor must be taken with a probiotic. Here's a list of some useful herbs for candida/LGS.
