Questions about Candida Treatment and Caprylic Acid

[jsj0305]

Hello there.

I have been taking my probiotic, OoO, Garlic, at a separate time of day, and ACV..but no results yet. I AM losing weight though. I did the test out of curiousity and it was indicative of Candida. I was losing weight at the time. Should I continue to take everything if I am still losing? I AM severely constipated, though. TMI, I know, but it's true. My abdomen is distended and everything. I just think that wether I am losing or not, Candida is still an issue that needs to be dealt with, ya know?

My next question is do you think it would be okay to drop the ACV and add Caprylic Acid to my regimine? I cannot stomach another drop of ACV. I gagged for the last time. I can't do it anymore. I know Caprylic Acid is sometime for Candida, but I didn't know if any of you have had success..

My last and final question is: How long did it take you guys to see results? I am goin got be patient, but I don't know what to expect.

Thanks so much in advance!!

jsj, yes, Caprylic Acid is excellent in fighting the yeasties.


When did you start? It took me 6 weeks of strict KISS eating and taking my supplements before the yeasties were gone. It takes time.

My regimen went like this:

Morning: OoO, Caprylic Acid, Garlic and ACV (pill form)

Afternoon: Acidiphilis (sp)

Dinner: Acidiphilis again

Bedtime: OoO, Caprylic Acid, Garlic and ACV (pill form)


I was VERY strict with my eating. For constipation, I added psyllium husk pills (3x day) and they worked very well.

Be patient. 6 weeks is pretty fast to get rid of the yeasties. I know of some people that took more than a year. However, they were not following the KISS plan, either.

Good luck!

Thanks for the info and encouragement!! Congrats on killing those suckers, too!!! LOL!

I was wondering about the probiotic...how much did you take 2 times a day? I take 2 pills once a day, but the bottle says "Take 2 before a meal". Not very specific! LOL

Where did you find ACV pills? I can't stand anymore of it straight...Ugh...

Last question, I promise ...Does the constipation ever do away????!!!!!

On the probiotic, the bottle says to take 2 a day. You just need to make sure that you don't take the probiotic at the same time that you take the others. While the Caprylic Acid and OoO work to kill the yeast, the probiotic helps restore the good yeast.

I had to go to a vitamin store to find the ACV pills. I have tried ACV liquid on my salads, but I can't stand the taste of vinegar. It didn't last long.. LOL there are also other places you can get vitamins fairly inexpensive. If I order them, I use Puritan Pride (not sure of the web address, you can do a search). Becky Sue uses another. Most have the ACV pills.

Yes, the constipation does go away. Psyllium Husk pills help a lot. I hope this has been helpful to you

Re: Questions about Candida Treatment and Caprylic Acid

the probiotics are the natural flona of your gut that the yeasties have taken over from. Eating yogurt if you are an OWLer or swallowing the pills reintroduces them back into yourgut to grow and not only occuply space so the yeasties can't grow there but they alter the gut pH slightly and that too keeps the yesties away.

Have you tried the ACV as the vinegar in your salad dressing so you are not havingit straight?

constipation issues on the KISS are the same as induction select the higher fiber veggies and as a fiber supplement and that should go away. if you are uncomfortable Dr Atkins said to use a natural veggie laxative which is the sienna products.

Re: Questions about Candida Treatment and Caprylic Acid

Yes, this has been so helpful to me! Thanks guys, so much! I take the 2 probiotic pills together. I stopped taking everything else. I tried the ACV on the salad and I didn't like it

I can't take pills in the am b/c I gag for some reason. I stopped taking the garlic but I will take it at night before bed.

Debbie, was your OoO in pill form or the drops? Also how much of those did you take total in the day?

So I guess, Probiotic at noon, w/ OoO, and ACV pills when I find them, and Garlic at night.

Also, would I be okay just taking the probiotic? Sometimes the OoO is hard to stomach, abut I don't wanna just take the probiotic if it won't do any good.

One last thing, I swear....the OoO and ACV and Garlic kills everything right? How am I supposed to know that they aren't killing the probiotic that I took 12 hours earlier?

The bottle on the OoO said twice a day so I would take one in the morning with all my other supplements and then one at bedtime. I took the OoO pills because I had heard that the liquid was icky! Do NOT take the probiotic at the same time you take the OoO and ACV. I don't know if taking just the probiotic will do very much very fast. Since it promotes the good yeast, my speculation is that you need something to kill off the bad yeast. As 2Big said, if you are on OWL and can have yogurt, certain brands of yogurt contain the good yeast you need. Perhaps taking the probiotic and eating yogurt will stimulate the growth of the good yeast enough that it will drown out the bad ones.

I don't know the science behind all of this. All I know is that what I did worked for me. Hopefully 2Big will stop in here again and explain things so they make sense to you.

Good luck!
