I know there's a lot of debate and general information on Candida & yeast issues on this forum already but there's just so much to scroll through and if anyone has anything to share that they haven't already then maybe this thread will have been worth making.
I have been dealing with some sort of infection for a little over a year now (have made at least 2 threads already regarding it) not knowing whether it's bacterial, viral, parasitic or a yeast infection I'm now suspecting yeast/candida. I had considered it for some time based on my symptoms compared to others but after undoing all the progress made over the last few months with my symptoms following a short course of penicillin(stopped after a couple of days because I was feeling so rough) I am now more inclined to believe it is a yeast issue. Following the idea that the bacteria keep the yeast in check & antibiotics remove the competition and allow the yeast to flourish, I have a also started to see white furry stuff on my stool.
Seems plausible to me that I have a fungal issue, I'm just not sure what to do about it. I have some wormwood, black walnut & clove on hand that I initially bought because I though I had a parasite but I've read it is effective against fungus. I know ray recommends flowers of sulphur but I've seen a couple of people with fungal issues post it doing not a lot for them. Pharmaceutical things like nystatin might be an option but not sure about safety yet and getting hold of it might be a pain for me, I imagine gp would laugh if I said I think I have a fungal issue.
