Just a quick note to say hi! Hi my name is jonathan and i have also been diagnopsed with gastritis and have been researching the cause of my health woes for a few years now.i have self diagnosed myself with candidiasis through the process and totally relate with your wondering why your doctor doesnt suggest candida.I am on a candida diet and am taking the product "three lac" which is a probiotic used to kill it off and i also take "spilanthes usnea" from herb pharm. If you get this shoot me an email.***@**** -jonathan
