It means it is thriving in your colon. To deal with candida you have to treat both ends by taking oral antifungals and doing both cleanse enemas right after pooping followed by a nystatin retention enema. Following a strict very low carbohydrate diet is crucial. If you don't change your diet, antifungals won't work. And don't expect to find an AMA doctor in the USA to help you fight this. They have been brainwashed into thinking it either doesn't exist or isn't a problem. There are some naturopaths and functional medicine practitioners who do treat this but they are mostly in urban centers. Not many are in the countryside. You can read my posts on this subject by clicking on my name. The only thing I have changed in my thinking is that I no longer recommend Milk of Magnesia for constipation. It is too alkaline making candida worse unfortunately. I now recommend Miralax for constipation. Keeping regular while dealing with candida is crucial. Dvjorge is another poster (not active anymore) who mentored me and we are both cured. Read his posts as well. I disagree with him on using baking soda in enemas. Everything else he says I agree with.
