A member asked:

Have probably had digestive candida overgrowth for 4 yrs. started taking prescription antifungals a few days ago. how long until i feel a difference?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be a long time: I'm not a believer in "digestive candida overgrowth" nor taking antifungals for this condition. But might suggest yogurt.
