Re: Final shot at getting rid of candida
I discovered that when I started taking adequate amounts of laxative, the antifungals I am taking are able to get to the lower parts of the colon and kill where the majority of the yeast lives.
I strongly suggest that you don't take a strong laxative like Ex-Lax or Dulcolax. I found that Milk of Magnesia is best. Get the one that says on the bottle:
Sugar Free.
It comes with a measuring cup. Take the little cup and fill with MoM till 2/3 full. Drink just once a day (at the same time every day).
You will have a BM every day, sometimes twice a day. Instead of straining and churning out a log that looks like a cluster of grapes I now have BMs that come out real easy and are long (sometimes as long as my forearm).
People may scoff at this but I think that getting regular in this way is super important to getting over candida. If you are super constipated (I used to have BMs once every 3 or 4 days) the antifungals will be absorbed into the blood or metabolized as inert substances before they have time to get to the colon where the majority of the candida live.
Hope this helps you. It helped me tremendously and I feel so much better now.
