Probiotics and digestive enzymes likewise help to keep Candida at bay. Also consider taking a good garlic supplement (unless you love fresh garlic and have found ways to mix it into your daily food intake). Candida is destroyed by garlic, as are any number of other pathogenic gut bacteria.

An interesting theory is that these recurring Candida infestations could not happen without gluten or lactose intolerance. Sure, antibiotics kill off the "friendly" bacteria but that should be a very temporary event, followed by re-colonization of the gut, by bacterial cultures.

Probiotics provide Candida-inhibiting activities of commensal bacteria that reside in the alimentary and vaginal tracts of humans. Probiotic microbes not only suppress the growth of Candida spp in the alimentary tract and vagina, but they ... inhibit the adherence of Candida spp to epithelial surfaces(11).
