Has anyone used resistant starch in their treatment of candida?
Below are some threads/articles that talk about it. One thing that struck me is that when we go low carb and possibly put our bodies into ketosis, candida adapts and then starts using ketones for its fuel.

When you say it doesn't sound plausible. Do you mean that you think candida can become worse if you eat RS?
I take CP1 along with sacc.
I am on a ketosis diet with the hope that the ketones can help my brain. It flipped me out that it said that candida can adapt to eating ketones rather than carbs.

- For those with porphyria (there are at least eleven types and many with lyme do have trouble with the Cytochrome P-450 liver detox pathway that can be so impaired with porphryia),
just be aware that very low carb diets can trigger porphyria attacks. Some can't even fast overnight to do fasting blood tests.
From my file notes:
PORPHYRIA, a metabolic dysfunction of the liver, involves the liver and the blood - and can affect the entire body and brain function. More about that here:

It just seems like the yeast would love eating the extra starch. (?)
terv .. I took Custom Probiotics CP-1 for many many years. Now after two weeks of their D-lactate free, my candida is kicked WAY WAY down .. perhaps on its way OUT?

ok. I had the same issue with the starch thing. However maybe I will try the potato starch when I am on an abx break.
I will try the D-lactate free one after I work through my 3 bottles of CP1. Interesting that it contains 3 different bacteria.
I hope for you that it is knocking your candida out. You have been fighting that battle a long time.

- TuTu,
That site is amazing. Wonderful "about us" page, too. thanks for that name.
Their "probiotic formulations do NOT contain dairy, sugar, gluten, soy, corn, casein, yeast, artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, FOS or any Genetically Modified or engineered ingredients."

That sounds really interesting, Lymetoo. Thanks for posting. I am going to check it out.
The potato-starch powder you can buy is RS2, whereas the RS that comes from from cooked (and cooled) potatoes is from RS3.
I think it has been shown that RS3 is much better for feeding a wide variety of good bugs. The RS2 feeds a much narrower variety, and for people with dysbiosis may cause trouble.
