I have been looking into taking ThreeLac, a probiotic product in the market, not approved by FDA, in order to end with my candidas condition, which causes recurrent yeast infections, cystitis and anal itching. The ingredients in ThreeLac are bacillus subitilis (25 million) ENTEROCOCCUS FAECALIS (25 million) and baciluus coagulans (200 million). After doing some research on the internet, I came to the conclusion that intaking both bacillus bacteria would not be harmful as one is used in antacids and the other as a natural fertilizer for certain crops. Even though ENTEROCOCCUS FAECALIS already inhabits human internal system, I was wondering if it was detrimental to intake more. I know it is very resistant to antibiotics and it can become a menacing inhabitant in some cases (causes not known).

thank you

Bacterial Disorders Answer A1123
Candida albicans is yeast normally present in the oral cavity, vagina, and the intestines. Under normal conditions, it doesn’t cause infection because its quantity is controlled by other bacterial flora and by the immune system. In cases of decreased immunity or prolonged usage of wide spectral antibiotics, Candida albicans causes infection-candidiasis. You can first identify what condition helps develops candidiasis in your body. You didn’t give me precise information where exactly you have Candida infection (mouth, vagina…). The product you mentioned will recover the normal bacterial flora in your intestines but it doesn't seem that that is enough for solving the problem. You may need an anti-mycotic, too!
