Important Notes

Thrush and vaginal yeast infections are real infections that get proper treatment. The broader idea of systemic candida overgrowth is debated in mainstream medicine. Organic acids testing can show yeast-related metabolites, though its meaning is debated. Die-off can cause brain fog and fatigue, so go slowly. Diet is the foundation, and the cause (antibiotics, steroids, birth control, high-sugar diet, high blood sugar) should be addressed. S. boulardii has good evidence as a probiotic. Nystatin stays in the gut; fluconazole works throughout the body.

About Evidence Score

The Evidence Score (0 to 100) rates the strength of evidence from studies in people for the uses listed: higher means stronger, more consistent research. It does not measure safety. It is not medical advice.

For education, not medical advice. Talk with a licensed clinician before you start, and never stop or change a prescribed medication without your prescriber.
