I also suffered from candida outbreaks due to too much usage of antibiotics. Compromised immune system. I found something that works ten times better than yogurt: kefir!! You can actually buy the stuff already made in the store or you can make it yourself for WAY cheaper. After you get going with it all it costs you is the milk itself. It's so simple to make.
Kefir has a dozen probiotics whereas yogurts only have two or three at the very most. Here's where I got my kefir cultures: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/starter-cultures/kefir-cultures.html?gclid=CLeOtc2S9q4CFUKR7QodZihwvg Cultures for Health is a fantastic compendium of information about kefir. Make sure you get the MILK kefir grains- not the water kefir. They're not the same thing.
Here's the stuff you can buy in the store. http://www.lifeway.net/Probiotics/ The blueberry is to die for. Tastes like creamy blueberry yogurt. It's usually near the creamer/milks/yogurts. But not always by the yogurts for some reason. There's only two stores in my city which carry it. You may have better luck in your area.Call around to various stores and see if they have it. It's prounounced "keh 'feer" with the accent on the last syllable.
Start by drinking a quarter of a cup a day. Some people get really drastic 'results' from so many probiotics at once in their system. Gradually work your way up to one cup one to two times per day. That's all you need. And it's way cheaper to make the stuff yourself than buy it.Anyone has any questions on culturing it just hit me with a private message. I don't want this thread to be taken up with kefir talk if other people have alternate suggestions.
There is this Aussie guy who has this whole website devoted to kefir. He made an encyclopedia!!! It's astounding! His name is Dom and here is his website: http://users.sa.chariot.net.au/~dna/kefirpage.html Freaking amazing work this guy has done with kefir! HE is the reason why I started making cream cheese with kefir! I never would have dared to try and make something like this. IBS, colon problems, intestinal inflammation, and so many other ailments are defeated with kefir products. I even use the stuff topically as the liquid in my green clay face mask twice a week. So you CAN use kefir topically and even as a suppository or (sorry, but I gotta say it) douche.
Check out kefir, Stephane. I have never been so glad I investigated a weird looking bacteria cluster in my life.
Some things you ingest can help situations going on with your epidermis. But you can always make a kefir hair mask, too. You'd have a pretty soppy towel wrapped around your head but just toss it in the washer and there ya go.
Kefir actually EATS e.coli-- can you imagine? E.coli cannot live where kefir probiotics are located. Imagine what it does to candida!
Your hair is probably going to soften from the milk sugars but(there's no lactose left in the milk kefir-- kefir eats it. Lactose intolerant people can drink kefir and even eat the grains themselves.) it'd be a very safe and all natural cleansing hair 'tonic' to combat the candida.
You said that you're going to start eating natural anti-fungal ingredients. I'd suggest starting with kefir. This stuff has been around thousands of years and human immune systems only benefit from it.There is NO downside and NO side effects possible with this stuff. No human has ever had a kefir allergy that we know of.
Read Dom's site. You're jaw will drop. And then you'll get pissed because Western medicine is so near sighted and arrogant.
