Hi, I am new to site and prob for first time feel sense of not being alone with this. For 20 long years I have tried it seems every alternative and medicinal treatment with only limited effect. Being a guy appears more difficult to gain recognition. Interested in faecal transplant if anyone has got any info on who is doing/success rates. Question here though is after latest visit to Breakspear hospital dr Munro claimed my Candida was being made Worse by acidophilus supps I was taking? Dr Munro recommended probiotics without acidophilus along with pea protein and antibiotics. I am surprised and feel I could do more harm than good but guess they are experts. Has anyone had any similar advice given and how did you get on? Many thanks, Chris

Hi Chris,
To be honest, I haven't ever heard of acidophilus being bad for you if you have candida. In 99% of pages on the internet it is actually encouraged. Although there seems to be a growing consensus, that they don't really re-populate the gut, rather, they can just alleviate symptoms. I've never heard of pea protein being used for candida though. Usually, things like Goldenseal, Cat's claw, Capyrlic Acid, Coconut Oil, Garlic, Oregano Oil, Peppermint Oil are recommended.
There's a whole topic dedicated to faecal transplantation you can follow on here. It definitely works for C-dificile and has had reasonable success with Colitis. Not sure what the success rate is for IBS symptoms but it has been seen to help as well.
Have you considered Saccharomyces boulardii? Might be worth looking at too.
Here's an article relating to probiotics and how they can be used to treat ulcers:
"Spanish scientists have identified a strain of probiotic bacteria that may be useful in treating ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori.
"H. pylori is considered one of the major risk factors underlying the development of gastritis and gastric and duodenal ulcers," according to the researchers" (Bifidobacterium bifidum CECT 7366)

I think in some cases it's just a matter of finding the strain(s) you may be lacking. That is the impossible task we all face, which is why FTT seems the most viable option for all of us.
Good luck
