Hi! The methods for treating candida vary from person to person. What works for one won't work for another. But In my opinion, starting with the Bowel Cleanse is the best first step. Seeing the years of nastiness that came out of me during over 20 colonic sessions, I know I would have NEVER gotten better without dredging that out! Unfortunately I have been treating candida on my own for several years now and didn't know anything about bowel cleansing then. Yes, I would include probiotics along with your P and B shakes to replenish the good flora. The fiber and Bentonite sweeps the walls of the colon clean ( so it takes the good with the bad ). Be careful with those though, if you have any intestinal problems. I know many people here like them, but I was told by my colonic lady that Bentonite is like concrete- so I steered clear of them. I have inflammation from leaky gut though.
