If you are taking candida antifungals, the death of yeast can cause constipation. Optimally, we should have a bowel movement after every meal. When I started antifungals years ago, it was very miserable. I started taking herbs to get me going, but the colonics worked best.
Right now I’m taking a 3 month break from Sporanox, but when I’m taking it, if I don’t have a colon every few weeks, I start to get headaches. These dead toxins can really wreak havoc on the body, which is why it is important to get rid of them. After my first colon, I felt like a new person, immediately after getting off the machine!
In addition to psyllium, you may want to look for something that has cascara sagrada and / or bentonite clay. I really like Nature’s Sunshine Bowel Detox, which I took together with Intestinal Soothe and Build, also from Nature’s Sunshine. But you can find other products with similar ingredients. Something I’m taking right now is L-glutamine in powder form twice a day. This has really helped me, in addition to curing leaky gut syndrome, something that often exists alongside Candida overgrowth.
I started taking milk thistle on the recommendation of a friend for liver support and cleanse. I noticed that it makes bowel movements much more regular and complete. I asked my friend if I was doing the same to her, but she said she was taking so many things that she didn’t know what she was doing. It only took me about three days to realize this.
