Dr. Randy Baker answered

Specializes in Holistic Medicine

Many medicines/herbs: The most common medicines prescribed for intestinal candidiasis are oral nystatiin tablets and/or ketoconazole or fluconazole. Many herbs/supps are also effective: oregano oil, pau d'arco, garlic, caprylic acid etc. Limiting simple carbs and starches and taking probiotics are important parts of treatment.
