I used this long before i knew i had Candida. This was during my IBS days. This is what the idiot doctor told me to use. To be honest it didn't do anything for me. I popped alot before every meal and it didn't work. If it would work now i have no idea. I am currently trying peppermint capsules however. Today i was extremely bloated, popped one about 30 minutes ago, and right now i feel fine. Hopefully this works for me as i have suffered from extreme gas and bloating for 18 months. The gas is helped by Betaine HCl and hopefully the peppermint helps the bloat.
