Probiotics help to keep candida levels in check by taking up space in the gut. When the gut microbiome is full of beneficial probiotics, there is no room for candida to overgrow. Candida overgrowth often occurs after the use of antibiotics where beneficial bacteria die along with pathogenic bacteria. The use of antibiotics is the perfect opportunity for candida to take over. Using specific probiotics for candida overgrowth is crucial for restoring beneficial flora in the gut.
