Hey guys, Question about prostate and candida: have been fighting diagnosed candida for a couple years. On the diet, anti fungals, all that. The candida seems to leave the door open to bacteria getting in my prostate. I know my urologist is going to want to put me on antibiotics which I know are horrible for my gut and will just allow the candida to become stronger. Searching the web trying to find sound advice on another way to attack a bacterial prostate infection. Mostly coming up with ify results. Anyone out there found a way to treat this situation? Thanks in advance.
Brian,
I have read that some good anti fungals are coconut oil, caprylic acid, fresh crushed garlic, and oregano oil. There are also prescription drugs, but they may have side effects. It is also a good idea to cultivate friendly bacteria (yogurt, sauerkraut, fermented foods) so they will crowd out the candida, and prevent it from getting started. Antibiotics may actually make it worse by killing off the good bacteria and allowing the candida yeast to spread. There are some good books on the subject at Barnes and Noble bookstores.
