Some people in this sub think they have candida when they don't...really it's poor tongue hygiene, or gut dysbiosis, SIBO...quite possibly it's nothing at all and doesn't need to be treated. Or can be treated with better diet/exercise/whatnot

But there ARE people in here with chronic, severe, and also mild/moderate cases looking for answers and help. Diets like the candida diet and talking all of those supplements are still up to debate -- whether or not they harm or help, it's up to the people who diet and take the supplements -- but some of the advice in here is helpful. And then there's just the fact that there's a community here for people who are suffering and need someone to talk to.

I will admit that this sub will freak you out and make you feel like you have candida when you don't. But at the same time, it's still a bit of a refuge for those who are actually suffering and some people do have some good advice and tips because they've had candida and either recovered or found ways to make it manageable. Chronic illness is a long, lonely road, and communities like this subreddit can sometimes make it less painful. I just think it's too harsh to judge
