Question by craven: Can I Take probiotics while taking herbs to kill candida?
I am taking this stuff its identical to yeast max, exact same ingredients too…

http://www.qfac.com/supps/yeastmax.html

and it kills candida, and i was wondering if i take it right before a meal, then eat….a few hours later can i take probiotics or yogurt?

The lady at the herb store said that it would kill the good bacteria and it would be a waste, is this true? if so would it make die off worse?

or would probiotics like danactive with l.casei help?
ingredient for full strength, but it says to start with half, 1 capsule, and 10 drops,….but here is the full strength list…

uva ursi – 300 mg

let me know what you reccomend and if this is ok to take with probiotics….also does this look like it would kill worms or parasites too for a full cleanse?

Actually, yes, the probiotics help quite a bit to control yeast growth. In fact, the best way to prevent yeast growth issues (yeast infections, thrush, etc) is to take probiotics on a regular basis.
I don’t see why any herbs that cleanse candida would kill probiotics unless it is an antibiotic (which medicinal/beneficial herbs aren’t). If you could E-mail me a list of the ingredients or a link to a site with the ingredients for that product, I can take a look for you.
In any case, I wish you luck!

[edit]: Yeah, those are mostly for health of your liver, urinary tract/kidneys, immune system, and other parts of the body. I don’t see any reason those would hurt probiotics, not to mention the fact that if they killed the probiotics, that would encourage the Candida to come back later anyway. You’re good to go with that and probiotics.

I know that coffee does and switched to tea. Mostly, black teas. Thanks

I have never heard that however Kombucha is a form of probiotic tea.

Green tea extract in combination with probiotics significantly reduced the viable count of both pathogens at 4 h and by 24 h had completely abolished the recovery of viable Staph. aureus and Strep. pyogenes.

These reductions were more significant than the reductions induced by probiotics or green tea extracts used separately. These results demonstrate the potential for combined therapy using the green tea extract plus probiotics on microbial infections caused by Staph. aureus and Strep. pyogenes.

I am aware that neem is antifungal and antibacterial, but does it kill friendly bacteria as well?

I recently started taking probiotics supplements but am worried that my smoking will kill them. Does it kill them, what else does?

I’m not interested in personal opinions…if you answer the question please cite a reference.
