Whilst probiotic foods are good.... The fermented vegetables like sauerkraut should be purchased in glass from refrigerated sections. A tin of sauerkraut ain't gonna cut it, not to mention possible contaminants from acidic foods in tin. The other is Kombucha....a great drink, I brew it myself BUT if you suspect you have candida you need to be careful with this as it is categorised as a 'wild' yeast and may contribute to worsening of candida symptoms. Nothing is ever as clear an simple as you would like ..is it! Good luck everyone.

Jicama is a prebiotic and yummy with salsa.

Kefir is another good probiotic, even better than yogurt, however, you have to make it yourself from live grains. The store bought kefir doesn't have the same yeasts and bacteria.

Thanks for mentioning that. I do soooo much better on home-made kefir than store bought - it's like a completely different substance.

Thanks for the warning. I've been making my sauerkraut...Have you tried that?

I've been buying sauerkraut from a health food store but am thinking of buying a pot and making my own.

It is very easy to make. I don't remember exactly how but years ago I made some and it was very good.

I just made a "Resource" for it. You can find it here -http://www.cortjohnson.org/forums/resources/how-to-make-home-made-kefir.200/
Easy to make, stronger and cheaper than store-bought kefir.
