What specific recommendations are there for GAPS patients struggling with Candida?
It is impossible to completely eliminate Candida. We can only control it by strengthening the immune system and using some anti-candida remedies. The GAPS diet builds up the immunity over time very well. There are many good natural remedies on the market, such as oregano, olive leaf extract, grapefruit seed extract, garlic and herbal mixes to bring candida down a bit. It is important to introduce natural remedies gradually, controlling the die-off reaction; start with one remedy, then add others one by one. Some people find relief with mainstream anti-fungal medications. Trouble is that drugs cannot be taken for long periods of time (apart from Nystatin), as they are toxic and have side effects. If the drugs work, they may provide an immediate relief, but when they are stopped, the problem may come back fairly soon. Natural remedies can be taken for long periods of time without harm, that is why it is a good idea to start with natural remedies, continue taking them through the drug tre
