In reply to Lactobacillus acidophilus to destroy candida!, posted by Wolf Dreamer on October 3, 2003, at 11:14:07
According to stuff I've read, I always make sure that I get the refrigerated kind that also has "bifido" not just "lacto" in it, at least 4 billion per day (some say take at least 8 billion, so I take two).
If this is the first time using it and you have lots of yeasties, beware of the possibility of yeast die-off making you feel like crap -- aching joints and other "flu-like" symptoms. This happened to me and I always quit taking it not knowing what was going on. But it only lasts a few days.
Caprylic acid is something else recommended for yeast. Also, if you take magnesium supplements, don't take them with the probiotics (mg is naturally "ANTIbiotic" and therefore the opposite, is my understanding).
> Lactobacillus acidophilus is a naturally occuring thing that fights the evil candida which causes so many health problems. Antibiotics are found in meat, eggs, and apparently everything, and that kills it off, allowing the evil candida to rampage our bodies. Giving up sugar and starch will help stop candida from spreading any farther and hopefully starve it off entirely. But, I'm impatient, so I thought I'd buy some Lactobacillus Acidophilus for an all out war against the candida menance.
