Hi Nicole, I too have severe Candida and leaky gut, but am getting better. You have to take a good probiotic, even though it will constipate you. However, you can remedy the constipation very easily with the nightly consumption of raw sunflower seeds. About two handfuls a night, on an empty stomach before you go to bed. If the two handfuls are not enough then go to three, and always the next day drink a lot of water. The seeds have a lot of fiber, and they taste great! The best thing is that they will help with the leaky gut, because sunflower seeds repair damaged tissue anywhere in the body. They helped me with both leaky gut, and an ulcer I got from taking NSAIDS. Once you get the leaky gut healed, just keep on taking the sunflower seeds and probiotic. You eventually will need to start taking anti-fungals like oregano oil, apple cider vinegar, and an enzyme that destroys the cell membrane of the yeast. Just take it one step at a time, and you will get better. Keep eating a very clean diet, b/c you def don't want to feed the yeast. There is a great website that is called yeastinfectionadvisor dot com. I can't do all the anti fungals that they recommend as I can't afford them right now. However, the rest of the advice on yeast I did follow and am getting better. I hope you start to feel better soon, b/c I know what it's like to live with this as I've had this for 20 years now. BTW, don't do the enemas, your body will become too dependent. Try the sunflower seeds at night and a lot of water during the day and see how that goes, it worked for me, and I used to be very constipated and just as toxic too. Good luck!

@Nicole: I was also pretty bad a couple yrs back w/ fungal and parasitic infection in the gut. I used a big list of natural remedies w/ little effect. Maybe not a "natural remedy" but I purchased some 50, 000 iu Nystatin caps and received immediate relief. After only 3 or 4 @ 1 per day my digestion improved dramatically. After this improvement the natural remedies became effective as they're said too. Nystatin can be purchased without an Rx but only a limited number of retailers. Three searches I recommend are Amazon, EBay, and Shopwiki.
On the other end, there are many kinds of colon cleanses but I will recommend one for you that will clean and heal dramatically and rapidly. Add 10 drops 3% H2O2 to a pint of warm water and administer rectally as an enema. Lay flat on your back and massage the colon area gently for a minute or two. The enema will proly expel in about 5 minutes so have a bed pan ready and you can observe the filth from the colon walls. You can repeat this on a daily basis and adjust the H2O2 drops accordingly. My first cleanse was a coffee enema and it was substantial but there was layers of filth in the colon walls that was removed by only 3 H2O2 enemas.
After these suggestions you should get good results from all the recommendations for Candida on this site.
Please provide an update as to your progress.
