Has anybody tried using Mastic Gum pills for treatment against Candida? I know it works very well for eradication of Helicobacter but i was wondering if anybody tried it in treating Candida and whether it worked for them.

I could find no study looking at that.
You could certainly try them as it should not hurt to do so insha’Allah.
Have you tried any of the more widely known [anecdotally at least] herbs and supplements for candida: Pau d’arco, caprylic acid/or virgin coconut oil, olive leaf extract, biotin [to stop the mycelial form], cutting out sugars and foods containing yeast, a good quality probiotic, garlic, goldenseal, ale vera juice [to help heal any damaged gut lining] and also glutamine if you suspect a leaky gut are what come to mind.

You could use stevia in place of sugar or sweeteners.
Fasting might also help.
Best wishes.
