How to Do a Candida Cleanse In 3 Easy Steps Using Diet, Lifestyle, Natural Supplements & Probiotics – Based on 30 Years of Experience

By Deborah Barns (CanXida)


There’s a lot of information online on different gut health websites about which candida cleanse works the best & how to do one.

Most of this information is put together by people who’ve never seen a candida patient (unlike our team who actually have).


A lot of these websites say things like "you cannot eat any fruit, bread, beans, pasta or potatoes - period!" during a candida cleanse.


Or "you have to eliminate all dairy except kefir, drink lots of apple cider vinegar, & only eat alkaline foods."


And this just isn’t true.

Remember, a lot of the information out there is written by people who've never treated a single candida case in their whole life. Yet they’re telling you what will or won’t work for you.

The truth is, you can eat fruit. You can eat bread. You can eat beans. You can eat pasta if it’s made of certain grains. You can eat potatoes if you cook them a certain way. You don't need to drink apple cider vinegar. Alkaline foods aren't that important. And kefir actually needs to be avoided when you've got candida. 


Keep reading and we'll dispel every myth other there concerning what works & doesn't work for candida.


We'll also explain the candida cleanse we developed based on over 20 years of research & thousands of before & after stool tests (to learn more about us & what we do, see the bottom of this page).


This page is long so feel free to click the table of contents below to instantly be taken to the topics you're most interested in.



Why Cleansing Candida is Easy . . . If You Follow These 3 Steps

The information we share is based on over 30 years and thousands of hours spent in the clinic working solely with candida yeast infection patient patients. As well as researching countless books,  speaking with experts, & old fashioned trial & error.


It wasn't made up out of thin air by some blogger like other candida cleanses you'll find online.


That's why we can say WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT the cleanse you're about to learn works. It works no matter how sick you are, how long you've been struggling with candida, how many previous treatments you've tried or how many "specialists" you've been to.

It's simple to understand, easy to follow and has NO-SIDE EFFECTS.

Here's how it looks:


This is a "heavy-duty" cleanse. We developed specifically for patients with chronic & severe candida infections. Meaning – patients who've been struggling for YEARS & had every other treatment method & drug they tried fail them (or had had yeast infection came back). 


It is a gentle yet effective cleanse.


And we promise you, once you do these 3 things, Candida will no longer be able to survive in your body.


The first step we're going to talk to you about is diet. There are 3 phases to our anti-candida diet. 


We'll only go over diet briefly on this page.

Here's what you need to know about Candida before we explain our method. These are. . .


1. Candida or yeast infections are caused by a naturally occurring yeast-like fungus found in the GI tract of 90% of the population & because it's a fungus – antifungal treatments are HIGHLY effective.


2. Candida is an opportunistic pathogen – meaning it's NOT a problem when kept in check by friendly bacteria but will become a problem when those bacteria are no longer present.


This is why yeast infections are often triggered by antibiotics and why it's 100% IMPOSSIBLE to permanently get rid of Candida UNLESS you recolonize your gut with friendly bacteria.


In other words – you cannot solve this problem by only focusing on how to "kill candida."


Candida cleansing isn't only about killing yeast. It's about building your gut health up so the candida can't live there anymore. 


And that's what this page will teach you to do. We'll be teaching you how to transform your gut environment from a place where yeast can THRIVE unchallenged – into a place that's HOSTILE to them and instead promotes the growth of friendly bacteria. 


Not doing this is the #1 reason many people get recurring infections and end up suffering for years.


The other reason is antibiotics. Antibiotics are the primary cause of candida overgrowth. 


Nearly every woman with recurring vaginal yeast infections has had a history of antibiotic use BEFORE she got sick. The problem with antibiotics (as you’ve probably read elsewhere) is their aim is to indiscriminately wipe out everything in your gut, including the beneficial bacteria. 


What most people (including many general practitioners) don't understand is beneficial bacteria are what PREVENT candida from taking over in the first place.

Good bacteria, primarily lactobacillus and bifida, are your gut’s IMMUNE SYSTEM. They’re like a defense force or a police unit. They keep yeast in check and prevent them from gaining a foothold.



Step 1: Take Away Candida's Food Source By Switching Over To the "MEVY Diet" (This Starves Yeast & Makes it Weak)


There are 3 phases to the anti-candida diet we like to recommend patients. They are:


Phase 1: The MEVY Diet (3 - 4 weeks)
Phase 2: The Low Allergy Diet
 (2 - 8 weeks)
Phase 3: The Food Re-introduction Stage
(2 - 4 weeks)


If this is your first attempt at a candida cleanse, we recommend you go through something we call "The 14 Day Big Cleanup" before you start Phase 1: The MEVY Diet.


The 14 Day Big Clean-Up

The 14 Day Big Clean-UP is sort of like a Phase 0.


It serves 2 purposes. First it allows you to slowly ease yourself into the new diet without experiencing withdrawal from things like alcohol, caffeine, take-out foods, candy, ice cream & chocolate.


It also reduces your chances of experiencing die-off symptoms during the cleanse.


This might sound odd but you'll likely need to get rid of a lot of the foods in your kitchen pantry during this step. The more severe your yeast infection & the worse your symptoms are, the more CRITICAL this step is.


The best thing to do is grab a big bag and fill it with all the foods that have been sitting in jars or bottles in your fridge. If you haven’t looked at or touched them for a long time, they NEED to go. Get rid of sauces, syrups, jams, etc. All these tend to be stored for long periods & develop mold.

Even if you can’t visibly see any mold, don’t take any chances. Throw it away.

Next you want to get rid of anything containing white sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and especially artificial sweeteners because these will prevent your recovery like nothing else. You need to give the candy away, the ice cream, the cookies. All that stuff needs to leave your home. That way you won’t be tempted by it later.

Same goes for highly processed foods like potato chips, microwave meals, deli meats, pastries, etc. Give it away to a neighbor or friend or just throw it in the trash.

As you likely know, these are the foods candida thrives on. By removing these foods from your diet, you take away its food source. This leaves the yeast weakened & far easier to get rid of later.

If you don't want to do this & wish to continue eating these foods (even in small amounts) during the cleanse, you may as well stop reading this now. It’s that important.

Do this over a period of a few days if you must, but get it done.


Here’s a short list of foods to get rid of:

• Soda drinks
• Chocolate (even unsweetened or 100% cacao)
• Ice cream
• Sweets or candy
• Biscuits or cookies
• Donuts, muffins or cakes
• Pastries
• White breads
• Chips
• Pizza, fried chicken & any take-out foods
• Nutella, peanut butter, jam or spreads (unless you make them yourself)

Phase 1: The MEVY Diet (Meat, Eggs, Vegetables & Yogurt)

MEVY stands for Meat, Eggs, Vegetables & Yogurt.

 

This is a well tested diet designed to bring your intestinal flora back into balance. It calms and heals your gut from a multitude of conditions including candida overgrowth, bad bacteria, parasite infections and more.

We didn’t create this diet.


It’s been around for a long time. Since at least 1986 when it was recommended in “The Yeast Syndrome” by Dr. Morton Walker. You don’t need to read it. You’ll learn everything you need about the MEVY Diet through this page & our YouTube channel.


The MEVY diet is a short term diet. You only need to be strict with it for 3 to 4 weeks. For best results, follow it strictly for at least 2 weeks. Then you can loosen up a little for the next 2 to 3 weeks as you start to implement the Low-Allergy diet (this is step 2). 


It’s up to you to decide how long you want to stay on the MEVY approach. 


Either way, we can assure you of one thing – the MEVY Diet WORKS. It works very well in fact & can quickly reduce most (if not all) the digestive disturbances you’re struggling with.


It’s a tasty and healthy diet. You’re not going to starve or feel deprived.


Meats generally are not favored at all by bad bacteria and yeast.


You're not going to have a problem with fresh fish, lean beef, or free range eggs. Just be careful not to overload your diet on red meat because that can cause constipation and clogged up bowels.


If you’re a vegan there’s plenty of other options you’ve got.


These foods also discourage bad bacteria like Citrobacter freundii and get rid of things like Blastocystis, pseudomonas, and all kinds of other nasty bacteria and micro-parasites typically found in people who've had candida issues for a long time. 


The MEVY diet is a low-carb diet.


It’s been around long before low-carb diets became popular. Unlike other low-carb diets, the goal of the MEVY approach isn’t to lose weight. Although you most certainly will lose weight if you have excess weight to lose (particularly if you follow it well).



Don’t worry about keeping track of the specific foods you can and can’t eat on the MEVY Diet. We've created a free Candida Crusher Grocery Shopping Guide: 187 Foods That Get Rid of Candida PDF guide for that.


You'll grab it at the bottom of this page as part of our free CanXida Ebook Bundle. Which also contains a recipe book & more.


The shopping list covers everything including which starchy vegetables you need to avoid, why some foods like sourdough are OK, & more.


Also make sure you watch the YouTube videos linked in this section as these will explain the MEVY Diet in much more detail.


Phase 2: The Low Allergy Diet (Restores Your Gut's Immune System)

Once you’ve been on the MEVY Diet & the yeast in your gut has gotten weaker, we start the Low Allergy Diet.


Most people with chronic yeast problems will have leaky gut syndrome and a background of antibiotic use or the oral contraceptive pill. They’ll have poor levels of good bacteria and all sorts of gastrointestinal distress.


That’s why it’s best to come off what are considered key allergy foods for a period of 2 to 8 weeks.


Foods to remove:

• citrus (especially oranges)
• pineapple
• banana
• shellfish
• peanut/peanut butter
• wheat/gluten
• chocolate (even dark)
• cow's milk


Cow's milk is a big one. We’ve done testing on over 350 young children that found nearly 70% had a problem with cow's milk. Bananas came back around 14%. Pineapples and shellfish came back nearly 20%.


Bread and gluten allergies are not as common as you think. 


A Special Note on Wheat:

Too many people point the finger at wheat and gluten when in fact, these people have bacterial and yeast problems that need clearing up BEFORE they start taking gluten out of their diet.


We’re not big fans of telling people to eliminate wheat or gluten from their diet forever.


In fact, we’ve helped people get BACK into gluten after they were told by doctors they could NEVER eat wheat ever again. Because once your gut bacteria levels are restored – gluten is no longer a problem.


Remember, only 1 or 2% of the population has Celiac Disease.


What we're doing with the Low Allergy Diet is taking out the foods that may trigger an immune response. This is smart because you've likely got food allergies and intolerances right now that are creating immune dysfunction. By taking all these foods out, it stops the immune system from reacting.


Don't worry, you'll be able to eat them again later.


All you do at this stage is remove the foods listed previously in this section, and keep it that way for a period of several weeks to several months. You should continue to eat the MEVY Diet in the meantime (although you don’t have to be as strict with as you were in the beginning).

Phase 3: The Food Reintroduction Phase

At this point you should be feeling a lot better and most of your big symptoms should have disappeared. So we can start reintroducing the foods we eliminated in phase 1.

You'll get the exact details once you download the free PDF reports at the bottom of this page but what you'll basically do is start reintroducing foods you really love but feel you can't eat because of candida.


Stuff like desserts, ice cream, wine, bread, pastries, whatever you like.

And it may sound shocking but once you go through our cleanse, you'll be discover that most (if not all) the foods currently on your "naughty" list no longer give you trouble.

Of course this doesn't mean you can go on a 100% junk food diet and expect to stay healthy, but you can be sure an occasional dessert with friends isn't going to cause problems anymore. 

You don't have to be gluten, dairy, sugar, or alcohol free for the rest of your life.

We can tell you now after helping thousands of folks overcome candida – PEOPLE GET SICK AND TIRED of these restrictive diets. They hate it.


Step 2: Tweak Your Lifestyle For Maximum Cleansing (This Means Working On Your Stress & Sleep)


Lifestyle is a subject almost nobody talks about. Most websites don't mention it at all.

But in our experience, lifestyle is at least 1/3rd of the recovery equation.

You may not be aware of this, but lifestyle affects your immune system. It affects your endocrine system, your hormonal system & your nervous system. And this may be something you don't want to hear but. . .


You're going to have a HARD TIME cleansing Candida if you regularly go to bed at 3 am right after spending an hour looking at your iPad.


You're going to have a hard time if you're living in a situation with bad relationships or have a lot of stress constantly hanging over your head.


Maybe you have a stressful job or kids to take care of, we get it.

You need what's called "leisure time" or "relaxation time" (something most people just don't get enough of today).

Even if it's just 30 minutes a day.

This isn't some mental health fluff. Leisure time activates what's called the parasympathetic nervous system. This is what heals & rebuilds your body & helps it cleanse Itself.


We're not telling you that you need to take off work for a few months and stay home, but you do need to realize that the more stress you've got in your life, the longer your cleanse is going to take.

You also need to start paying more attention to your sleeping habits because the parasympathetic nervous system is most active when you sleep.

Over 40% of people in the U.S. have some sleeping issues. It's a big problem.

If you've been suffering with gut problems for a while we're sure you've noticed your how much stress affects your bowel movements & how you always get symptoms at the worst possible times. Stress also causes inflammation of the gastrointestinal system & can make your digestion shut down.


Stress & sleep play a BIG part in the cleaning processes.


We've had thousands of subscribers who have been sick for years & recovered within one to two months using the protocol on this page because they understood the importance of lifestyle. We hope you do too.



Step 3: Get an Herbal Based Antifungal Supplement & Take It At the Same Time As a Probiotic Formula that Contains Enzymes


Are Candida Supplements Necessary or Can You Do the Cleanse Without Them?

A question we often get is, "I want to cleanse candida through diet & lifestyle alone and without buying any supplements. Is this possible?"


And the answer to that is yes. You can cleanse candida with diet & lifestyle alone. 


But it’s hard. REALLY HARD.

And we can tell you right now – it DOESN’T HAPPEN in the vast majority of cases. 


Especially when the patient has moderate to severe candida or has been sick for many months or years. Diet & lifestyle alone works if you've got a minor case of candida, but for everything else, forget it. Same goes for trying to do a candida cleanse with supplements alone. You can't just take a pill and say bye-bye candida.


If you've got a chronic or severe case of candida, you need to do all 3 steps.


You need what we call “powerful agents” over and above the diet. These are things like allicin from aged garlic extract, grapefruit seed extract, oregano oil and more.


You’d have to go on a hardcore diet to adequate doses of all these from food. So hardcore you’d irritate your digestive system so much you’d throw your beneficial bacteria off balance and start to get problems.


We didn't always have this approach.


We told patients with candida to go to health food stores. We told them to buy candida cleansing foods like organic garlic, ginger and coconut. We told people to focus on eating whole foods & not rely on supplements.


And it didn't work.


People just got overwhelmed with the amount of stuff they had to eat.


Diet is important. That's why we have over 500 videos related to diet on our CanXida YouTube channel. 


Diet alone doesn’t work for most people. We’ve seen people eat the most amazing diets. Yet when they did a candida stool test they still had problems.



Are Herbal or Natural Supplements Effective at Cleansing Candida or Are These Products Not Strong Enough?

Many people ask, "why should I take a natural product for yeast issues vs a pharmaceutical drug? Are natural products really going to be effective?"


Don't worry about natural antifungals vs probiotics. We'll get to those in a minute. 


There's several reasons why we ONLY recommend natural products for candida yeast infections.

The key reason is because natural medicine doesn't harm your beneficial bacteria.
It lets you take out the yeast without harming the "good guys" or causing damage to your internal environment. It's the difference between using a sniper rifle and a nuclear bomb. 


A nuclear bomb is something like an antibiotic.

Another benefit of natural medicine is resistance doesn't occur with natural ingredients.

That happens with drugs. This has been confirmed many times with studies done on things like grapefruit seed extract, caprylic acid, undecenoic acid, clove, and other natural anti-fungals. Resistance just doesn’t happen.


It happens with pharmaceutical drugs because they are synthetic. They’re only made up of one thing. They’ve got one ultra refined chemical compound with a very narrow band of action.

Once yeast develops a resistance to this action, the pharmaceutical drug is done.

Remember, candida is very adaptive. If you only hit it with one action it will soon work out how to fool this action. And you know what happens next. The drug no longer works and the problem comes back. And then you go back to the doctor who puts you on a new drug and the cycle repeats again.

Natural medicines are different. They doesn’t just contain one thing. They’ve got many different natural chemicals and compounds in there that make it up. They attack yeast from many different angles so it gets overwhelmed & can’t fight back.


And as you'll soon see, the natural stuff is no less effective at getting rid of yeast then the synthetic stuff.



Natural Antifungal vs Probiotic Supplements & Why You Want to Take Both at The Same Time

Many people believe that if you take a probiotic and an antifungal together, the probiotic is going to be canceled out by the antifungal product. This is not true. 


In fact antifungals & probiotics work better together, not against each other.


Particularly if you take an antifungal that contains only natural ingredients. Such as aged garlic extract and oregano oil. Because as we learned previously, natural antifungals don't harm beneficial bacteria. They only harm yeast.


You don't even need to take antifungals and probiotics apart. You can swallow both at the same time.


That way as the antifungal travels through your digestive system clearing away yeast cells, the probiotic is right there & REPLACES them with the exact beneficial bacteria that keeps the yeast from coming back.


Remember, candida cleansing isn't only able killing yeast. Think about what had to happen for you to get candida. The good bacteria had to go, either due to antibiotics, eating the wrong foods, stress, alcohol, etc.


Yeast can't multiply much in an environment with high levels of good bacteria like lactobacillus. 


Think about it. If you only take antifungals and ignore probiotics, what's there to stop candida from just coming back when you stop taking that antifungal? Nothing.


Can you take probiotics only and ignore antifungals? 


You can but you'll slow down your recovery. The whole point of taking supplements for candida is to speed up your recovery. So there's really no reason to only choose one. Sure you'll save a bit of money but is it really worth if it means having to deal with candida symptoms for an extra 2 to 6 months?


Antifungals and probiotics work synergistically.

That means you’ll get better results if you take both.



How to Choose an Cleansing Supplement for Candida That Actually Works

When choosing a supplement, go with a compressed tablet vs a cellulose capsule product. 


Don't buy those cheap cellulose capsules that have a blend of different herbal powers. They're not nearly as effective as tablets. A tablet will almost always have more antifungal activity because more natural ingredients can fit into it. As the capsule itself takes up a lot of space that can be used for herbs instead.


When you select a tablet, make sure that it’s sustained release. Sustained release means when you swallow this tablet, your digestive system doesn’t get access to everything immediately.

But over a period of several hours it slowly breaks down in the gut.

That way it targets all parts of your GI track. It cleanses all the yeast and bad bacteria right from your mouth and keeps working all the way through the colon and “back passage.”


Now, likely whatever supplements you were taking before were not sustained release.


They weren’t put together by someone with decades of experience treating your specific health problem. They were likely put together by a company that’s got a 1000 other products and they pay lip service to making an anti-bacterial formula.

Or they’ve just put out a product with one thing like oregano oil.


That's one of the reasons we made our own antifungal formula, CanXida Remove, which contains the 12 ingredients we listed in the previous section. We got disappointed with the stuff available in grocery stores.


Too many supplements these days are filled with fake ingredients



This isn’t an opinion. It’s a fact. Back in 2015, the New York Attorney General Office conducted 390 tests on a wide range of supplements. They gathered bottles from the shelves of 4 major retail stores. 


These were GNC, Target, Walmart and Walgreens. They then sent the bottles over to a lab and DNA tested every tablet to see if the ingredients matched the label. And guess what they found. . .

Only 21% of the products actually had the herbs advertised on the bottle. 

79% didn’t contain ANY of the herbs and were just full of crap like rice powder and wheat!

Here’s a screenshot of an article from CBS News reporting on it:



And it gets worse. . .


One survey done by the FDA found 68% of the supplements tested didn’t even have the MAIN INGREDIENT advertised on the bottle. For example, one “St. John’s Wort” supplement contained nothing but “senna,” a laxative that can cause anal blistering.

Imagine taking something like that when you’ve already got a gut problem.

This is why we tell folks to avoid generic brand supplements from places like Amazon or iHerb.


The way you find good supplements is by asking “Where did this product come from? Where did the company get the raw materials? What kind of research has gone into this product?"

Was the product formulated by a person who’s an expert on it? Has it been tested and proven to work on your specific problem? 
Do they provide extensive education about dosage or the best way to use that product? 


Does the product use standardized ingredients?

Standardized means that each time you take this supplement, you're getting a consistent therapeutic dose. It doesn't vary in potency from batch to batch as is often the case in non-standardized supplements. It's a bit like how pharmaceuticals are made.

You get the same strong therapeutic dose every time you take it.


Don't just go for the cheapest product. You’ll get cheap results.


If you want to test out a high quality natural antifungal supplement, check out our CanXida RMV formula.



This is a "heavy duty" formula designed to work even for extremely severe cases where the patient has been sick for YEARS & every other antifungal supplement and drug they tried in the past either failed them or the yeast infection came back. 


CanXida RMV is an advanced 12 ingredient anti-fungal, anti-bacterial & anti-parasitic formula based on two decades of experience. It’s the only formula that targets the BIG PICTURE of gut disturbances & is in our opinion the most premium gut cleaning supplement ever created. 


It is non-toxic, has no side effects & is safe even for children. You won't find anything stronger.

Why Most People Get Nowhere With Probiotics & 5 Things to Look For When Choosing a Probiotic For Candida

Below are the 5 things you want to look for when choosing a probiotic for candida.


1. Is the Formula Centered Around Good Bacteria Strains Scientifically Proven to Inhibit Candida & Other Yeast Species?
If you’ve ever compared different probiotic formulas before you’ve no doubt noticed that there's lots of different bacteria strains out there and some products contain more strains than others. 


Some products contain 50 strains. Others contain 20. Most of these are just there for marketing purposes to make you think you’re getting “lots of stuff.” 
They don't do anything at all to inhibit yeast & they do nothing against Candida.


The 6 strains that do inhibit Candida are:

  • Lactobacillus acidophilus
  • Lactobacillus casei
  • Lactobacillus plantarum
  • Lactobacillus rhamnosus
  • Bifidobacterium bifidum
  • Bifidobacterium longum

The first one on the list is Lactobacillus acidophilus.


You've probably heard of it as it's the most researched probiotic strain out there. What most people don't understand is L. acidophilus is Candida's #1 natural enemy (as well as that of most other yeast species).


It's the #1 competitor of Candida in both the gut & vaginal environmentCountless studies show that Candida & other yeast species can't reproduce in areas with high levels of L. acidophilus. 


There's lots of reasons for this.


L. acidophilus releases lactic acid which interferes with Candida's metabolic process. It causes Candida to have a stress response where it goes into a starvation-like state and can't grow.


It's also naturally antifungal.


Lactic acid is the key reason the vagina has a low pH. This helps prevent a variety of conditions such as bacterial vaginosis, yeast & viral infections, sexually transmitted diseases and urinary tract infections.


Candida hates lactic acid and actually has mechanisms that prevent the acidification of its environment. But a probiotic with high levels of L. acidophilus will overload this.


Other antifungal agents created by the Lacobacillus species listed above include hydrogen peroxide (which also protects your gut from bad bacteria infections) & special molecules called bacteriocins & biosurfactants.


Bacteriocins are tiny protein-like molecules that slow the growth of bad bacteria and fungi.


While biosurfactants are molecules that interfere with Candida's ability to latch onto both the vaginal and gut wall. Studies show when high levels of Lactobacillus is released into an environment colonized by Candida, the good bacteria will literally unhook yeast from the epithedial cells that line the gut wall



We can go on & talk about how these strains also stop hyphae (long tubes Candida uses to penetrate the gut wall and spread to other parts of the body) formation & causes yeast to stay in its less invasive form.


Or how they amplify the effect of antifungal medicine by increasing the permeability of the fungal membrane (a fancy way of saying it makes tiny holes in Candida's cell wall so antifungals can get in easily).  


But we think you get the point.


You don't need to understand all of these scientific terms.


Just understand that Candida HATES these 6 strainsThey compete with Candida for food, nutrients, colonization space, "poison" it by releasing molecules that prevent its growth, & will even "evict" the yeast from its "home" (the vaginal & gut wall) & send it packing. 


They also have additional benefits such as in the case of Lactobacillus casei.


Casei is very important when you’ve got a gut problem. Why? Because it mops up immune debris & waste particles (toxins) created by yeast & bad bacteria that like to lodge themselves throughout your body.


It stops them from getting into your bloodstream, causing inflammation & making you feel sick.


This allows your immune system to focus more on the big issues (like cleaning up your gut from any bad bacteria & yeast).


It also helps with food allergies because it trains your immune system to relax and not be hyper-reactive. 


These are the strains that are most responsible for fixing your gut environment. The list above includes the 4 best Lactobacillus and the 2 best Bifidobacterium. 


To learn more about these 6 strains, check out the product page for our CanXida Restore (RST) formula which goes over the each of them in more detail. You can get to it by clicking here.


Don't worry about any other strains. They're nowhere near as important.


Also remember that only so many probiotics can fit into a capsule. So if a formula has 12 or 20 strains, it's going to have lower levels of the strains you actually want.



2. Avoid Formulas that Contain Prebiotics or FOS
Prebiotics (also known as FOS or fructooligosaccharides) are a special type of sugar naturally found in foods such as broccoli, coconut and bananas. These sugars are what feed probitoics (beneficial bacteria) and make them grow.


That’s why they’re called prebiotics. So why do we tell you to avoid any probiotic formula that contains them?


Because we've seen them cause too many bad reactions when taken in supplement form. Any time a customer tells us they tried a probotic formula in the past and it made them feel sick or bloated or gave them brain fog, we know right away that formula contained prebiotics.

Companies add these sugars in thinking they’re going to feed the beneficial bacteria.


Oh yeah, they feed the bacteria alright. . . They feed everything from the e. coli to the clostridia and all the other bad bacteria that cause bloating and brain fog & make you feel like crap.


Companies will tell you these sugars are from "natural sources" but in reality that “source” is a factory or lab.


We’ve had it with prebiotics. We’ve seen them cause too many aggravations in customers. Get rid of any supplements that have them. You’ll get much better results if you take a probiotic without prebiotics.


It’s fine to eat foods that naturally contain FOS like the ones we mentioned but don’t take supplements that contain them.


3. Does the Probiotic Formula Also Contain Enzymes?
Instead of prebiotics, get a formula that contains digestive enzymes.


Research in the past 7 years has shown that when you take enzymes and probiotics at the same time, you get an amplified effect.

 
There’s lots of reasons this happens. First, enzymes kick start the gut and improve the acid / alkaline ratio of the stomach and small intestine. 


This creates a more favorable environment for the beneficial bacteria to grow. It also creates a hostile environment for the bad bacteria and yeast.


They annoy the bad guys and encourage the good guys & shift your bacteria population from bad to good.



Enzymes also help with the healing process. Many people with gut disorders have damaged or inflamed digestive systems caused by bad bacteria & yeast overgrowth. Enzymes help with this by allowing your gut to heal at a faster rate.


They can also help mop up any garbage that needs cleaning up.


It's like sweeping a floor that hasn’t been cleaned thoroughly for many years. You might notice that you pass out bowel plaques or mucous. You may have more frequent bowel motions or larger stools.


Enzymes are especially important in the first and second month of the gut healing process because they’re going to break down all the vegetable starches your good bacteria are going to feed on. This is how you feed the good bacteria without feeding the bad.


That's why you should look for things like amylase, hemicellulase, protease, invertase, and glucocoamylase on probiotics labels. 


Because these target all the different kinds of carbohydrates, proteins and fats you’ll need help digesting if your gut isn't in great shape yet. 


Not all enzyme formulas are compatible with probiotics.


So don’t just grab an enzyme supplement from Amazon or iHerb and combine it with whatever probiotics you’ve got laying around.


It takes a special skill that a clinician develops over time to understand how to combine these two successfully so you get an amplified effect like we described. 


If you’re taking a probiotic formula right now and you’re not taking enzymes along with it, you’re missing the boat.


You really are. Enzymes make all the difference.


If you want the best possible product, make sure the probiotic + enzyme formula you choose contains an enzyme called serratiopeptidase.


This is a very powerful enzyme that will bind to circulating immune complexes in the blood. That means that once you take it, it will actually start to hunt down little bits of debris in your bloodstream created by bad bacteria and yeast as they die off.


This is particularly important for people suffering from Leaky Gut or auto-immune diseases because this debris is one of the main causes of things like rheumatoid arthritis and joint pain.


As well as brain fog, headaches, and many other symptoms. . .



4. Does the Probiotic Come In a Time-Released Capsule?

Another thing to check for is if the probiotics come in what’s called a time-released capsule


These capsules are very expensive to manufacture so usually a company will tell you on the label if it’s time-released or not.


These aren’t the cheap cellulose capsules that break down in the stomach.


They survive the stomach and only open up in the small intestine.


That way nothing is lost due to stomach acid. Nearly all probiotics you buy don’t do that. They don’t fully survive the stomach bypass. They actually get destroyed before they get to the intestine.


A time-released capsule is different. It’s not affected by digestion.


5. Is the probiotic GMP Certified or Made in a GMP Certified Facility?
Be VERY vary of any probiotic that doesn’t have a “GMP Certified” seal on the label.


Particularly the cheap probiotics you see on store shelves.


Many years ago before GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) were enforced on the supplement industry, we spoke with many experts in America and Europe regarding probiotics and how they were made. 


And we were quite amazed to discover that when a survey was done on U.S. probiotics just before GMP was enforced, many of them were found to be USELESS and DEAD.


The cheap probiotics had NO VIABLE BACTERIA in them at all — people were just getting ripped off and they had no idea! And we can tell you right now that chances are, especially if you’re buying some “el-cheapo” product at the supermarket or Walmart, you’re probably still getting scammed.


An easy way to tell is to see if the factory or supplier has a GMP certification.


Before you check out other probiotics take a look at our CanXida RST formula.
