Janey, I very sorry to hear that you're having such a tough go of it. I was in pretty bad shape myself. One thing you might want to consider. Are you still taking Advil? NSAIDS, such as ibuprofen, have been found to be very damaging to the stomach and intestines. I think it's possible that leaky gut is responsible for the very worst symptoms attributed to candida. I advise nothing. I only suggest that you do some web research and form your own opinion.
