Caprylic acid and undecylenic acid in addition to limiting sugars can take care of candida.

Probiotics also need to be taken to repopulate the gut and control the candida growth.
Saccharomyces boulardii https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3296087/ added to the standard acidophyllis strains normally available in store bought brands.
(Stay away from webmd.com and similar pharma and allopathic med establishment websites for real information on supplementation or natural remedies. They’re like the NYT, Wapo, CNN, etc, of the medical establishment. Can say nothing good unless it’s big pharma and AMA endorsed.)

Completely agree with everything you’ve said. She does have patches of candida especially when she is in other people’s care because they let her eat junk. She actually has LESS OVERALL SUGARS with me, even though I give her her beloved desserts. I make chia pudding with a bit of raw honey, I make gelatin with fruit and fruit juice (she loooooved jello - that stuff is poison!). And we make cookies from unenriched flours sometimes, or a spot of chocolate. So she doesn’t eat bread or buns or juice or sweet tea or soda.
She can’t take big pills. I have s. Boulardi capsules but she couldn’t get them down. I make my own kombucha (she will drink a tiny bit) and fermented veggies but she seems to hate those. I made a fermented cranberry chutney and she will eat that.
By the way, just cause you sound like me and I love to find new healthy foods or supplements that actually work, I’m taking serropeptase — check it out. It is amazing, from silk worms, and it can reduce scar tissue in wounds and aches and generally give great movement back from sore joints etc. I’m seeing a lot of improvement especially from the soreness you can get sleeping. Thanks so much for the advice.
I fantasize about mom going keto but I can’t achieve it. I have 4 kids living here too, it would be too hard to police her.
