Measure gastric acidity

Stomach acid or, in scientific terms, hydrochloric acid, is essential for the proper functioning of the digestive system. Low stomach acidity can lead to incomplete digestion of food, accompanied by problems with gas, bloating, belching, diarrhea, or constipation. A fluctuation in the acidity level of the stomach or vagina allows candida to proliferate. An adequate level of stomach acid also protects the digestive system against bacteria, yeasts and parasites. An easy way to get a feel for your stomach acid level is to look at your fingernails. Vertical streaks are a characteristic sign of low gastric acidity.

 Restore bacterial balance : candida

Increasing your level of acidophilus and bifidus helps to counter the overgrowth of candida. After stopping treatment with antibiotics, take acidophilus supplements for double the duration of treatment with antibiotics. I recommend the 10-15 billion capsules, one or two capsules upon waking and at bedtime, without food.

Saccharomyces boulardii (SB), the only probiotic yeast available as a supplement, also competes with candida. European studies suggest that SB may prevent the overgrowth of candida, in addition to protecting the intestine against diarrhea caused by amebiasis, C. difficile and cholera.
