I agree with DEVASTAT to use virgin coconut oil as lauric
acid and other nutrients are not reduced when oil is cold
pressed. Further you cannot take anything as you like i.e.
on and off for a few weeks. It should always be continous
for body's intelligence to accept the new addition of
probiotic and coconut oil. Stick to the program for 3 months
and you will see definite improvement inspite of any
short comings your body may throw up. Good luck and
God bless. Cheers! :o)
I don't think coconut oil has side effect.
Try to drink it without probiotic.
And get virgin coconut oil, not just "coconut oil" because virgin coconut oil has more lauric acid.
Coconut oil will not have any effect on candida. However, since you probably do not have a gastrointestinal candida overgrowth to begin with, that won't matter. It does add extra calories, and over the long term will cause you to gain weight.
