I had a problem like this once, and went to a Chinese doctor (also
Western trained). He put me on a strict 'anti-candida' diet, told me to
drink 2 litres of water a day, take copious amounts of acidophillus, and
by the end of one week I had more evacuation than I could have ever
thought possible. I also vomited, but he warned me that I would. I can
give you the diet regime if you need it. I have passed it on to many
over the past twelve years. He saved me from surgery!
