Crohn's Fungus? Candida tropicalis

[georgeod33]

I've been reading about the new research showing that the candida tropicalis fungus might be part of Crohns:

"The new research identifies a fungus known as Candida tropicalis that, when paired with the bacteria Serratia marcescens and E. Coli, may lead to the development of Crohn's disease in some."

​

Has anyone tried anything like antifungals that might fight off the Candida tropicalis together with probiotics?

One thing I was considering was "Gymnema sylvestre" which seems to have some antifungal properties against candida tropicalis in studies.

Interested to hear any results, if so. :wink:

The research team concluded that Gymnema sylvestre extract can be potentially tested as an effective remedy for the management of UC symptoms in human subjects due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant behavior in biological tissues. -bionews-tx

The dried scale leaves of G. sylvestre might represent a new antimicrobial source with stable, biologically active components that can establish a scientific base for the use in modern medicine. -journal of acute disease

I have never tried the combination. I do use probiotics sometimes.
