Question 1

what does a candida rash look like?

Accepted Answer

There are  many : Examples at this site:  http://www.Bing.Com/images/search?Q=candida+rash;form=hdrsc2  click on each photo to ensure it is a candida rash.

Question 2

is it possible to have candida die off reaction from starting new probiotics? have had drunk feeling several weeks. started when i began probiotic.

Accepted Answer

No because:: The concept of Candida overgrowth in the gut causing multiple symptoms is not supported by science and is not a recognized medical illness. Nor is the concept of Candida die off.

Question 3

have smelly breath in the morning im scared this is candida which can become cancerous, will i die if it is?

Accepted Answer

See below: This could be a sign of acid reflux.  You could also have tonsilar crypts where food can get trapped in the tonsils and cause bad breath.   See your primary for an exam and an evaluation.

Question 4

does a candida infection look like herpes?

Accepted Answer

No: Not generally.  Herpes infections are quite painful and produce ulcers, whereas candidal vaginitis produces a white discharge, itching and potentially a rash across the perineum which can be discomforting.

Question 5

can a candida die off symptom be white vaginal discharge? i've been taking anti fungal for candida and ever since i got this discharge

Accepted Answer

Yeast: Sounds like you have a yeast infection which should respond to anti fungal medicines. If you have not been seen already consider seeing your doctor for full check up and treatment. If you think its just Candida or a yeast over the counter Monistat can help

Question 6

is it ok to take  nystatin & probitics the same time? would that cause to much die off syptoms? is it true  u can get candida die off ?

Accepted Answer

Yes,they go together: Yes, it is good to take probiotics (I usually recommend
full fat plain yogurt ) together with Nistatin. You may not feel well if too much candida dies off at the same  time and a lot of toxins are released in a short period. The yogurt and other probiotic foods ( or probiotic capsules ,if you do not like food) can be only helpful to soften this die off reaction

Question 7

how long does candida die off last and is it normal to have severe fever headaches and pain urinating?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on where the candida is, if it is causing true infection, and what is being used to treat it.  Severe fever, headache, and pain urinating is never normal. See a doctor immediately.

Question 8

experiencing candida die off symptom nasal odor, how do i get rid of it? it started after i added drops of grapefruit seed extract in a sinus rinse.

Accepted Answer

Sinusitis? See MD: I've never heard of "candida die off", but quick online search suggests it is nonscientific claptrap. So is "systemic" candidiasis. (Sorry if that bursts a bubble for you.)  Nasal discharge with odor suggests sinus infection that may need an antibiotic. Sinus rinse alone is unlikely to help much, with or without "graprefruit seed extract" or any other "natural" product. See your GP. Good luck.

Question 9

i have oral thrush & candida skin infection on feet. could take nystatin liquid plus use the powder on feet will that cause to much die off syptoms?

Accepted Answer

No problem...: It is fine to take the oral nystatin and use the topical powder on your feet at the same time.

Question 10

can candida die off reaction cause foggy brain memory loss. nausea, itchy skin, headaches??
i have seen so many doctors and not one could help me as they dont belive in "leaky gut syndrome" i am b12 defienet, had appendicitis, had sibo, chronic vi

Accepted Answer

Life is full of: Life is full of possibilities. Symptoms like "foggy brain, memory loss, nausea, itchiness, or headaches" are greatly influenced by one's mind, meaning one person can perceive them greatly while another person not at all, even under similar circumstances. It's a dilemma. That is the reason future research may help people decide what portion of symptoms is caused by thoughts vs. by outside elements.
