Canidia as far as I am aware is the bodies intoxification of sugar and yeast. Canesteen cream can be used for external usage.. I know of someone who went to a homeopath and got a remedy for it. They run some alergy tests and select a remedy... dunno if this helps

curehead

yes thanks any info is great jusr to know from peoples experiences and how this thing affected them , and how they found the diets that you are meant to be on , everything really .what problems it caused them basically how they coped until they found a way to restore there body's normal working condition

Well.. I was having reactions to wheat before and the way I cured it was to eliminate ALL wheat products and products with wheat in it for one week. Sugar and yeast will be more difficult as bOth are in almost everything.... They gave me about 4 bottles of styff.. somethin called a synergist and a bottle of drops called wheat.. took 3 times a day for noe week and I noticed a huge diff.. Canida can vary in symptoms. Itching, rashes, ect... I suggust you see a homeopath or if you trust them, doctors. I myself prefer the natural way but... doctors are sometimes necessary.

yeah as in my original post that was pulled i said the docs treated each symptom with something different like the rashes with one thing the bad breath with another the bloatedness with something else and the list goes on when i did a bit of research myself and found out they were all connected to this thing called candida of which doctors dont know much about this was according to the books i bought on the topic and they were right my doctor didnt have a clue so im basically looking at the best alternative method or if the other people's doctors gave them better advice thanks very much for your input into this horrible "disease"? i dont know what you would call it as there seems to be no relief

I PM'd you curehead.

Sounds like the bottom line for you is to change doctors. If your doctor cannot recognise and treat Candida effectively then you should look for a second opinion. Don't accept the doctors willy nilly approach to the problem and get it properly diagnosed by another doc.

I may have taken up one of your posts wrong but you seem to imply that while your doctor was treating your symptoms individually you have done some research and decided on a holistic self diagnosis of candida. If that is so you really need to find a doctor who will listen to your concerns and address them.

Good luck

Are you a guy? Its just that Thrush (as its more commonly known) is pretty rare in men. If you have a long time partner its likely that she in fact has thrush and you are simply being re-infected with it. Happened to me.. my wife had it, she gets it sometimes. Anyway we got the Caniston thrish cream, both used it and fine a few days later.

In situations like this.. forget the doctor... go right to a pharmacy and ask. They know more about day to day stuff like this than a doctor. Even though they should not. When my wife went to the GP he pretty much talked down to her about the evils of sex!!!

yeah i told him about "candida " and he just brushed it off as some fad new age name for a lot of problems ( depression , stomach pain , constipation , halitosis . all which he tried to cure with tablets and antibiotics which as i have since discovered caused the damn think in the first place if it wasnt for the internet and books i'd be doomed just taking these medicine and waiting for some relief basically he had me on protium for my ulcerated stomach and you wouldnt believe that the word candidiasis is actually written on one of the side affects this after about ten years of taking these proton pump inhibitors now they decide to print this info i give up

curehead

thanks for all your input guys and ladies its much appreciated any knowledge i pick up here i will pass on to other sufferers , again thank you all hopefully this thread will continue and give hope to people who are fobbed off with bad advice for a common problem

By the way.. did you not hear the radio ads for the last 6 months going on about this? Unfortunatly it does say to go to your GP about it However it does explain what it is, how you get it etc and the symptoms.

I am aware that you had an unsatisfactory experience with your own doctor and I hope it doesn't turn you away from properly educated healthcare professionals in the future.

Candida is a disease caused by any number of yeasts/funghi. Speaking from the point of view of the mouth (I am a dentist), candida only rears its ugly head in two cases: when the immune system is depressed or compromised, or when the balance of normal oral flora (mostly made up of bacteria with some yeasts) becomes disturbed for some reason, usually the use of antibiotics (occasionally dentures can precipitate this condition also). I should point out that candida is not present in everyone's mouth, but in about 7/10 Irish people (I think that is the correct figure).

Candida oralis can present in several forms, the most common of which is oral thrush which will be seen as white plaques in the mouth that are removable by scraping to reveal a reddened surface of tissue, usually on the roof of the mouth and soft palate. Occasionally it will present as median rhomboid glossitis which is a red raw spot on the palate directly opposite a red, raw spot on the tongue.

Candida oralis is usually cured by antifungal (technically an antibiotic - just to clear up confusion) medication in the form of lozenges, drops, gels, ointments, creams or mouthwashes. The antifungal medication is focused against funghi and yeasts NOT bacteria. If this is what your doctor prescribed it is NOT the cause of candida, even though antibiotics can cause candida oralis. I suspect your doctor was prescribing several different medications to fix the one problem because it was affecting several areas of the body at the same time. Therefore oral gels, rinses, creams or lozenges (etc) would not be very effective for yeasts/funghi affecting other parts of the body. As an example, an oral gel (Daktarin) applied in the mouth will not have any effect on athletes foot, even though both conditions (oral candida and athletes foot) are caused by funghi/yeasts.

I cannot speak about candida affecting other systems in the body (such as digestive or genitourinary) as I am not trained in their diagnosis or treatment, but I have some experience of the treatment of candida oralis with the homeopathic and nutritional methods mentioned here. Let me just say it is IMPOSSIBLE to eliminate the type of carbohydrate that yeasts and funghi live on from our diet because those are the carbohydrates that we too live on. It is true that yeasts and funghi favour particular types of carbohydrate, but again it is nearly impossible to eliminate these carbs from the diet. Secondly, in my experience, once candida is there it is there. The trick is not to allow it to take control by keeping your immune system well nourished (I have seen a lot of people with poor diet experiencing candida) and to keep the balance of normal oral and gut bacteria. There is no scientific evidence to back this up, but probiotic drinks may help balance gut flora.

It is possible to eliminate candida from the body with the use of antifungals.

I must also mention that going to the pharmacist for thrush may work for people, caveat emptor though: if the condition persists you MUST attend a doctor as it may be a sign of immune system depression or a completely compromised immune system.

Halitosis is not a result of candida. I recommend you visit a dentist.

Canesten is used for what doctors call "Candida".

The OP's pulled post described symptoms of what some alternative practitioners have labeled "Candida", because they blame the same fungi that cause what doctors call "Candida"

Whether the alternative practitioners are right or there's something else to blame is more a matter for one of the science forums.

If you're going to use the alternative practitioners' definitions, why not go to one of them?
