I too have candida and I can't take any kind of "ticture" whatsoever because all tictures are alcohol based. Alcohol feeds the yeast, so I'm guessing that could be causing some problems. If you have chronic constipation, like most candida suffers do, then I'd say up the dosages of your fiber intake and possibly do water enemas every few days if you get uncomfortable and are not producing stools. I've also increased my daily water intake. The bottle says 8-10 glasses per day, but I'm doing 12-14. I tested strong on Para-Sweep/Para-Rid from Nature's Secret, which I just started a few days ago in preparation for the liver/galbladder cleanse. Hope this is helpful.
