RSO and candida ?

Hey guys, first time posting here but I've often perused these forums for advice in the past.

I am suffering from candidiasis, albeit fairly mild, it is not fun. For those who don't know, candidiasis is an overgrowth of yeast (candida albicans) your body, which can make you depressed, anxious, cause serious brain fog, oral thrush, and a heap of other not-so-awesome symptoms.

Anyways, I was wondering if RSO/Rick Simpson Oil could worsen my candidiasis? Anything with yeast/alcohol (among many other things) aggravates the condition as it feeds the candida, and I know RSO is often prepared using isopropyl alcohol. Are there typically trace amounts of alcohol left in RSO? I have heard smoking can make candida worse, so that is out of the question, I can't consume edibles (because I can't have anything with sugar/grains), and I do not have/will enough cannabis to create my own oils. RSO seems like my only viable option but I fear it may ultimately make things worse. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Any responses would be greatly appreciated. I have many medical conditions that cannabis helps me with and going without has decreased my quality of life.

Thanks in advanced, and sorry for the massive wall of text.

I dunno the answer to your question. The RSO I've had doesn't seem to have any alcohol. Why don't you try a tincture made with vegetable glycerin? No alcohol there. May be worth a shot and tastes pretty good.
