I was informed that any who ever took an antibiotic in there lifetime has Candida and I was wondering if ganoderma gets rid of this condition?
Candida is a type of yeast that lives in your digestive tract. It is very helpful to have it because it helps you break down and absorb your food. When the gut flora is in balance, other microorganisms keep the candida from overgrowing. So everybody has candida, and most people have no problems associated with it. When a person takes a course of antibiotics it can upset this delicate balance in the gastrointestinal tract and allow the candida to grow unchecked and cause the condition known as candidiasis, or thrush.
