Quote: Does anyone out there have experience with or looked into the possibility of having Candida?
Wow! I have yet to read through this entire thread but just wanted to share my experience.
I in no way believe Candida causes IBS but i had to test the theories that our out there for the heck of it since i had nothing to lose. I personally would think that any stool test would be able to discover large Candida overgrowth if there were such a thing?
Anyways, I had read or seen something on trying to clear out any Candida in the intestines, etc. So i went with it and purchased some product called Oxycleanse, some sort of oxygen infused cleanser that is supposed to wipe out all the bad bacteria in our system hada, hada. So i gave that a try along with taking Oregano oil and Grapefruit seed extract capsules. Well, long story short it did a whole lot of nothing for me. So clearly Candida or fungas is not the cause of my IBS.
I also tried some product by Primal Defense called Primal Fungus or something along those lines with no success.
I will now attempt to read through this entire thread.
