I was healing from lifelong candida since last May for 6 months and then perhaps "caught a bug". For the following 6 months I have suffered from diarhea. Am off anti- microbials. Stool sample says I have a pathogen named Citrobacter freundii. Suggested cures: Uva Ursi, Tannans, Oregano leaf. I cannot tolerate any of these. After 3 days of even the smallest dosage I have extreme dysentary. I don't want to use anti-biotics, have no practitioner near that I trust. Considering the zapper, but do not know frequency for this bacteria. Did Liver Flush and situation worsened day after. I am at wits end.. someone, please help??Thanks Khafi
For a year have been taking good forms of probiotics. No trace of any acidophilus or bifidus cultures were found in stool sample, so they must be getting wiped out. I even tried using Bio-K plus, heavy duty culture of yogurt and I am not really good with dairy, but I am desperate!
My diet is clean- I have been on a candida diet for a year, but I occasionally crave a piece of chocolate or a cup of coffee. I have taken rotating courses of anti-fungals and anti-microbials for the first 8 months. Lost 60 lbs (175 lbs, size 14, now 115 size 6) and many other symptoms disappeared (environmental allergies, insomnia, foggy brain etc.) some have begun to return (PMS- breast tenderness, &backache, irritability a few days prior) and some hyper energy.
I seem not to be able to handle any anti-microbials or anti-fungals as they cause severe dysentary. The citrobacter freundii may be at the root, but also may only be one part of current diarhea....Any further ideas? Thanks so much. I can give you my e-mail address if that would be easier.
i had candida a year ago. nothing realy worked until my healthfood store told me to try candex. i did and like they told me within a week the candida was gone. i was for a while taking 1 pill every night for maintance purposes. i had cancid for years and did not know it.
Oooooh, I wish I could help you! I really don't know what to suggest. It seems like you've tried many things.
I can't remember now if you've tried the Bentonite & psyllium shakes? One woman on this Forum has ibs (diarrea type) and found that the b&p's reeeeally helped her.
You may want to try that, if you haven't already.
I've seen your post on different forums, so hopefully other people are giving you some new angles too.
You can get better!
Ever thought of doing a slow liver flush? Sounds like you really do need to do that (because of menstruation issues). Here's a 5Day one: http://www.curezone.com/schulze/herbal_5day_liver_cleanse.html
Below is info on B&P's.
Let us know what you choose to do next....you'll find the key that will allow your body to bring itself back into balance soon, I know it!
Tracey-
Thanks so much- I had gotten the suggestion of BP and just ordered IF#2 from Schultze. After ruminating on all info I received it felt like this was a good next try. I was so happy when I got such great results from doing a 14 week protocol with modernherbalist for candida and just continuing with his suggestions but this new twist in condition has stumped us both. So glad this forum is here and people like you- I'll keep you posted.

Hi , I saw the "cry for help" and couldn't help but share some experience. Many years ago I discovered a probiotic that you hear very little about, called L.Salivarius. Call it a "cousin" to acidopholus. The differnce is it's found in colostrum and then drops off to trace amounts when the milk starts to flow and unlike acidopholus and bifidus, its, proteolitic. It acts upon protein. It goes into baby's system very early in the cycle to act as the backbone to the orher beneficial bacteria, which get killed easily. I found it to be wonderful stuff. It's hard to find and oddly enough, hard to research on the NET. It's indiginous to the body , so I had no trouble in trusting it. You can get it here. It's a wonderful product, truly.

i got my results back from great smokies today and same citrobacter freundii bacteria...also said yeast was "many". came here to do a search and found your post. we have identical symptoms. i have so much wiggling/crawling/tingling sensations going on, i know this bacteria has escaped via my leaky gut and moved into other areas of my body. i even felt it swimming into my liver and then from right to left lung. i have had the diarrhea so bad, light colored stools, bad breath, and have lost 23 lbs in two months. have you found a candida product and a product for the citrobacter ?
