A simple way to self test for Candida is to not eat any SUGAR or white flour products, or alcohol for a week, and see if things improve. This will starve the Candida.

Another thing you can try is Metamucil (psyllium seed) twice a day. This will absorb toxins from "bad" bacteria. It will not cure C. difficile tho. I had a bout of something many years ago and went to a gastroenterologist. He suggested the Metamucil and it worked. I was having terrible diarrhea, more than 10 times a day.

3 movements a day is not that bad really.

Continue with the yogurt and/or probiotics too.

I am actually down to 2 movements as of yesterday and feeling much less sick to the stomach. Still waiting on results but as I said the surgery and everything took alot out of me physically and my body feels weakened. I will see how I go over today, but I am trying to stay off narcotic painkillers and antibiotics until my system recovers. I woke up this morning with a massive migraine (hormonal) and on my way to work I ran over a huge curb that shook me inside my car. My whole spine is now hurting. Definately not what I needed at this point. CR#P just keeps on rolling downhill. I'd like to tell the universe that I have had enough for 2011!!!

Thank you as always Mrs. D.
