"My experience with people with significant candida issues is this: Initially you may go hard (use more potent antifungals) to remove the excess overgrowth but usually a degree of the candida will still remain (probably in biofilms). After this the answer is not to go hard again. It's about gentle antii-fungal work continued focus on biofilms and rebuilding the environment as you go. This may take time. So be patient a you move forward. Most either go hard again and mess up the environment or give up when things don't improve"

"The food you eat matters for candida infections. But fasting blood sugar/insulin levels matter most IMO. raised blood sugar feeds candida. Eat in a small calorie deficit (5-10%) during a protocol. Next: most sugars and sugar from starch is absorbed early in the gut - often before candida colonies. Some sugar dairy and starch is therefore ok. Just don't want too much. Don't want raised blood sugar. So we move a lot all day and keep calories slightly down to avoid that. I aim for 120-150g carbs for most with candida (helps thyroid). Split between some starch fruit and dairy. Mary vary from"

"In my experience with MCAS everyone with it has some kind of methylation issue along with whatever microbial issue they have. Experimenting with methylation is hard because it involves many nutrients. For example: playing around with B12 B9 B2 B1 choline/betaine glycine magnesium and zinc is a good starting point (microdosing at first). Sometimes the form matters: eg. Methyl folate Vs folinic acid. Or methylcobalamin Vs hydoxycobalamin. Sometimes need to be doing other stuff at the same time. Like focusing on ATP inflammation or viral activation issues. So its not always as simple as it"

"Most MCAS ppl have a chain of sequence like this. For some its glycine first. Many its magnesium first. Hydroxyb12 and b2 often work as a starting point. Its rare methylfolate is the starting point. @GutOptimized The order that worked was get all the other b vitamins solid first then get glycine solid for a couple weeks then I could finally tolerate a bit of methylfolate (250mcg/day) then brought choline up. @GutOptimized The order that worked was get all the other b vitamins solid first then get glycine solid for a couple weeks then I could finally tolerate a bit of methylfolate (250mcg/day)"
