Re: Baking soda made me worse. Others feel better on it.

As you said, the human friendly flora resides in the colon, no in the small bowel. If Antibiotics disturb the flora, it is happening in the colon allowing candida to flourish. The small bowel is sterile by nature and the antagonistic effect against candida by our bacteria is something that occur in the colon.
So, candida growths in the colon when people take Antibiotics .

The colon is a highly absorptive place ( think about suppositories ) Then, candida MANNA, the toxins that induces severe immune suppression is absorbed in the blood causing cell-mediated immunity suppression allowing fungal focus to appear in the vagina, skin, etc.

Targeting the colon is the key to win. Unfortunately, by mouth is very difficult but we have the rectum, thanks god.
