Hi JK8,

I'm pretty sure it wasn't die off. I don't relapse with a die off. I get symptoms for sure, but not relapse. Drinking licorice tea has produced the same reaction and problems that I have had from consuming fruit, coffee or high carbohydrate foods.
And the same amount of time to improve again following it.

I'm unsure what to make of the antifungal properties, as it certainly never seemed that way for me. If it does have this, then the sweetness of it has its own problems that may undo any good it could have done otherwise (at least in my case).
