Does anyone have advice how to get over candida?

I had a build up of yeast ,candida overgrowth. Hope this helps.

I had an endoscopy that showed the candida in my esophagus and a little in my stomach. That was 08/08/23. I just can't get rid of it.

Were they specifically looking for it because you asked them to or did they mention it in the report? The reason I ask is because I had an endoscopy done - upper and lower and they never mentioned that I had it. However, at the time I did not suspect that I had it and now I'm wondering if I do after my ibs and sibo diagnosis.

Just happened to me-candida moderate-mid-esophagus. I had an upper GI added to colonoscopy due to esophagus stomach pain. Took anti-fungal for two weeks. Now on omniprazole. Not in my stomach too. I also have SIBO.

I started losing weight first and went through so many tests and finally goggled absorbing nutrients. SIBO was one of the first thing that came up . The Dr/ cave me an antibiotic from India and it killed any good bacteria. I then went to a naturopathic dr. to heal ny leaky gut. I still had all this flem in my throat and couldn't swallow very well. My ENT sent me for an endoscopy. That is when I found out I had candida. That was 8/08/2023.

Hey There! Similar story here. Got sibo last March, methane based. Developed a rash on my groin on the first round of xifaxan + neomycin. I actually asked my doc if this could be the start of candida overgrowth. His reply: “You don’t want to go down that road.”

Well I did. About 3 weeks after the 3rd and final round sibo gone, but developed oral thrush and a male genital yeast infection on the same day. Quickly spread everywhere, rashes, etc. Took Flucozonole, 200 mg for about 4 weeks. As luck, or bad luck, would have it my symptoms totally disappeared on the last day of the script. The problem was, you can’t stop taking flucozonole until 1) all your symptoms dissapear, and then at least two weeks longer. Felt great for 3 weeks, then every candida symptom came rushing back x 10. Getting flucozone required seeing different specialists for each infection. I was told over and over again, systemic candidiasis is impossible, I’d be in the hospital on my death bed. One problem with that, they were just plain wrong. You absolutely can have disseminated candidiasis and not have candidamia (sp) which is basically fungal sepsis. Flucozonale can act as sort of a prophylactic, keeping the candida from entering the blood stream, but still wreaking havoc on your body. The worst part is that once you take it, candida cultures will almost always come up negative. It’s a huge huge hole in treatment for sibo, that is constantly being missed. I wound up seeing an oncologist, as they see systemic candida all the time, and he is managing my treatment for it. He said, specialists almost always get it wrong, there can be shades of candida overgrowth, and walking candidiasis is absolutely what I had, and absolutely induced by antibiotics. I’m at the stage now where I’m kind of stuck, good days and bad days at 300mg a day. My advice to you is to be aggresive. There are stronger doses (up to 400mg a day) and stronger anti fungals. The evidence and research is established and there for anyone to read. Legitimate peer reviewed research. You have to keep pushing. Doctors are NOT gods. Thanks to the internet, we have access to the same information they do. I can assure you, most doctors don’t keep up with new studies. So their knowledge is frozen in the year they finished their internship. The only thing they can legitimately come up with to deny more aggresive treatment is liver health. If your cbc cmp show normal liver function, there is no reason they shouldn’t prescribe you more effective antifungals!

I had candida in my esophagus, and a little in my stomach. I finally went to an ENT because my throat had all this flem and I couldn't swallow very well. Some was still in the yeast form and a lot of it had become the little critters is what I call them. I kept being told it was acid re flux. I found most Drs. didn't know anything about what I had. I found out in 08/08/2023.
Thanks for responding!

Thanks so much for this! I took a round of 100 mg fluconazole, then 1- 150 mg. Next after reading to get it out of your esophagus you should take either 200 mg or 400 mg for 14 to 21 days.tin My Dr only gave me 14 days worth. A week later it came back so strong and I have their skin tag all over my body. I had no energy at all. I feel better now, but it is still in my throat and I was thinking I should get some Nystantin you rinse your mouth out and gargle it down you throat. I made me sick with stomach aches. Maybe I should look for an oncologist.

I had a hard time swallowing and started having a thick slimy saliva film in my throat. My new ENT sent me for an endoscopy and that is when I found out it was candida. All the others said it was acid re flux. The pictures they gave me of my stomach show the yeast and some had changed to the critters with their biofilm covering them.

I had Candida pretty bad in my esophagus and a little in my stomach. Some still in the yeast form and others little bacteria critters with their bio-film on top of them. It has been very hard to get it out of my throat after 7 years. The first Drs told me it was acid re flux and they would give me a bottle of meds for it. Some wanted me to take anti-depressants. I kept giving up!
