Candida Probiotics

The recent enema retentions I did with Bifido: 2.5 trillion in total has backfired. The candida has upsurged especially in my small intestine and throat. I have had to increase my Molybdenum dosage to deal with the increased Acetaldhydes.

I think I once read that candida can feed from the friendly flora - do you know if this is true?

I am staggered that each time I try probiotics I get an upsurge. This time I went with an enema as I had tried via the mouth and failed so many times I had given up, now the enema way is also a failure.

C'est la vie!!!!!!!


Most Probiotics are a joke.

If you are eating cooked foods diet you can never have good bowel flora.

"Good Bacteria" feed on CELLULOSE the main constiuent apart from water of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Trying to probiotise your gut when you dont eat fresh foods daily is like trying to get Roses to grow on Salt water - wrong medium !

The negative bacteria love the putrid matter that forms in the bowel from ingestion of cooked foods, dead and lifeless foods. The good bacteria wont (cant) touch it !

By the way the best way to get Bacteria into the bowel is with Rejuvelac - Make it yourself fesh and very definatly live. Anne Wigmore recipie is best.

Bon Sante


I agree, FOS feeds the yeast. However I have had a difficult time with Primal Defense as well...I think that feeds the yeast too! My favorite probiotic to date is RenewLife's FloraSmart.


Gosh, I am so sorry to hear this Simon. I've been using the Custom Probiotics for a few weeks now and have noticed a decrease in those little white "yeast flakes" in my urine. I think they are doing me some good. I noticed though that just like another brand I like, they have lost a lot of their strength after just a short time in the fridge. I have been very sick for the past few days with a virus and I forgot to tighten the lid- so today I can tell even less strength. Shucks. I am almost out anyhow so I just ordered another bottle.


Oh, I almost forgot. I don't think I've ever heard that candida can feed off of probiotics, only if they have FOS in them. I seem to recall though reading somewhere that made mention of parasites feeding off of them ( maybe it was on Curezone?? ) I don't know if that is true because sometimes people post such wierd things, you know. When I am feeling better from this awful virus I'll see what I can dig up. :-)


I have also read that parasites can feed from Probiotics.

Keep smiling!!!


I've read they feed off of the FOS contained in the probiotics.

before posting that FOS feeds the little critters. Custom Probios doesn't contain FOS (last time I was aware).

What about trying SBO's (soil base organisms)?

Have you had any CDSA or OAT tests? Are you sure you know what organism you're dealing with? Maybe it is something that creates symmptoms similar to candida.

Hi Simon,

I dont know if candida can feed from the friendly bacteria, but i have read you can become sensitised to your own gut flora and have a sort of ongoing reaction.

Sorry this hasnt worked for you.
