A member asked:

I have ibs and probably a case of candida. i'm taking 50 mg of oregano oil capsules three times a day and a capsule of shilajit. any other suggestions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not sure about yeast: No test result can be evaluated out of the context in which it was ordered.What kind of symptoms prompted the study? What are your underlying medical conditions (that may predispose you to intestinal yeast)? If you are in the midst of a GI evaluation, have they ruled out inflammation, other infections, ischemic pathology, as well as motility disorders? Is the diagnosis of IBS firm or presumed?
