Read the page on Candida on the main OCF web site, it will answer all these questions. But the simple question is Candida is a white patch that you can actually scrape off with your fingernail. It will be red underneath and still sore (sometimes). It clears up quickly with the proper meds. Dyflucan in particular will wipe it out in a week. Treatments trash you immune system for awhile, and candida blooms when this happens and things get out of balance.
