Digestive Care FAQ

Where can I buy Kolorex Digestive Care?

Kolorex Digestive Care is available in pharmacies nationwide without prescription.

Can Kolorex Digestive Care be taken with pre- and probiotics?

Yes, their actions are complementary. While Kolorex Digestive Care is busy destroying unwanted Candida, supplementation with pre-and probiotics will help to re-establish strong colonies of good bacteria and create an environment that reduces Candida fungal overgrowth.

Kolorex Digestive Care is not recommended during pregnancy and lactation. Speak to your healthcare provider for more information.

Can fungal overgrowth cause disease?

Fungal overgrowth has been associated with several diseases of the gut. Disruption of healthy bacteria is frequently accompanied by fungal overgrowth and inflammatory response in the gut, which may contribute to the development of disease. Low-level inflammation, in turn, promotes fungal overgrowth, creating a vicious cycle. Studies have documented fungal overgrowth in people with:

  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Ulcerative colitis
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Stomach ulcers
  • Duodenal ulcers (healing of stomach ulcers is also slower in people whose stomachs are colonised by Candida)
  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

What can I expect when using Kolorex Digestive Care?

A few people may experience mild, transient headaches and nausea in the first few days of therapy, commonly known as a Herxheimreaction or Candida die-off. This occurs as a result of the breakdown products that are released when the Candida fungal overgrowth is destroyed. It is not an unwanted reaction and should be recognised as an encouraging sign. The dose of Kolorex Digestive Care can be adjusted as needed.
