I am having the same problem. I am not getting any die offs when I use antifungals. I do have the oral thrush and I am experiencing lots of belching, flatulence, diarrhea and stomach discomfort. I am starting to think that I don't have candida.


For 6 days I took Monolaurin along with Allergy Research group's Tricycline which consists of berberine sulpahte, Black-Walnut hulls, citrus acid extract and artemisinin and I did not get any die off symptoms. I also used 50 mgs of Lugol's Iodine for 3 days and yet I never experienced any die off. I eat garlic regularly and I didn't experience any die off from that.


I did experience some terrible die off with Now food's Candida Clear which contains Caprilic acid, Pau D'Arco, Black-Walnut and Oregano oil powder. This combination is very powerful and it gave me an intense die off reaction. One thing is that these herbs are broad spectrum. Perhaps I have some other infection that these herbs attacked. I am reading a book called "medical medium secrets" and the writer says that candida is a side effect of some other infection. I am starting to think that that might be my case.


The best way to find what you have is to do a Comprehensive stool analysis test. Unfortunately no such test is available in my country.
