Feeling much better already
“Hello, roughly four months ago i suffered tonsillitis for two weeks and was under antibiotics the whole time, then a week later i got antibiotics for my back ache. Roughly a month later i noticed a white layer on the back of my tongue, i felt tired constantly, bad breath, and started to become a little sloppy in general. I was eating rather unhealthy as well, lots of sugar, carbs and drinking every weekend. I then got a slightly swollen throat for ages and felt more terrible everyday. I then did some research and stumbled across this site. I figured i likely have candida overgrowth in me
I am now FIVE days in the candida diet, i currently eat 10 to 20 eggs a day, with 4 egg yolks max a day, tons of broccoli, tons of spinach, tons of onions, free range chicken, beef, and plenty of sardines in olive oil, and of course plenty of fresh garlic from the garden. I make chicken soups from chicken legs, onions, garlic, capsicum, broccoli I fry everything in olive oil. I take a gluten, yeast free multivitamin, and probiotics daily, eat 2 Brazil nuts, drink 3 to 4L bottled water. I have been doing this 5 days now, although i felt quite crappy on day 3, i feel really energized now, my white tongue is starting to fade, breath a bit better, i still sometimes get cold feet when its hot, but overall feel much much better and healthier. I plan to continue this routine, good luck everyone ! :)”Shared by James
Constant battle
“i thought i was alone in this. i can see im not, and my heart goes out to all of you who are suffering with this horrible candida problem. ive been suffering for about 22 years with it, afteri had my first child.,seemed my hormones change, my body chemicals changed, along with all these bad symtoms that come with it. depression, fatigue, hoplessness. i finally figured out that if you want to feel good, you must be on a 24/7 alert! meaning its a costant concionsness of wanting to feel good.,reading the book the yeast connection helps me a lot. its my bible and i carry it with me in my purse, so its a constant reminder not to go off my diet,or i will feel like i want to die! no sugar!! no junk!!,everything that i start to put in my mouth, i must think twice and 3 times, “will this benifit my health, or hender? its not worth the second of pleasure in my mouth for a week of feeling horrible, so i put it down.,i do not have any, canned, packaged,frozen, or meat! only fresh and pref.organic. i just purchased Aquaflora yesterday, see what happens? feeling better already from it. its a liquid ,you take 2 capeful a day on empty stomach. also doing garlic and caprilic acid. all these seem to help. and par de arco tea. ,lots of water. i stopped coffee, that seemed to help the most. everyday i still suffer a bit, but working on my health is my most important endeavor, fresh air and deep breathing helps as well. keeping positive and praying to our lord for strenght in our health always helps. imangining your inside with all good cells and healthy, all these things have been helping me, and i hope i have helped others who suffer with this horrible candida. lets kick it in the butt!! good luck to all who suffer, and god bless all of you to give you the strenght to go on!! hare krsna,your sister rohini dd”Shared by Rohini
Think Candida is running my life
“I’m currently 26 years old and i’ve been having problems since i was 18. Chronic UTI’s, yeast infections and vaginites that seemed to be caused by sexual activity. The doctors just kept telling me it was caused by a sensitivity to bacteria and allergies to soaps. My husband and i both switched to the same soap (dove sensitive), we took sometimes 2 showers a day, always washed before and after being intimate, kept my husbands fingernails clipped and scrubbed, stayed away from thongs and always wore cotton crotch panties…and still kept coming down with infections. I thought it was just me…and then i started noticing other symptoms along with those “female symptoms.” I’ve had fatigue, bloatedness, constipation, unexplained aches and pains all over the body, memory loss and brain fog. I just recently was talked into going to see a naturopath and they did a Quantum Biofeedback test on me. I tested very high for Candida/Yeast/Fungus in the body. My naturopath recommended the Candida diet and i am so excited to try it. It’s going to be a huge change in my diet but i’m so fed up that i’m willing to make this sacrifice. I also tested positive for some food allergies like meat, wheat and whey. Since my body cannot digest meat, it sits in my stomach and ferments which causes bacteria to form and can spread to other parts of the body and can also feed the infections. They told me that eating the right food for your body and blood type can also help with weight loss for those women who feel like no matter how hard they work out they just can’t lose the weight. I feel so bad for the women out there who have had to unknowingly deal with this for most of their lives only to find out this diet would have saved a lot of pain, stress and lost time. I realize how fortunate i am to have caught it while i’m still so young and i thank God for that! ”Shared by Tara
Hair Loss, Anyone?
“I have been experiencing progressive hair loss over the past 2/3 years, and my mom and I believe that it is due to candida. I’m only 17 years of age, and I’m also experiencing fatigue, itchy scalp, little bumps on my head, and itchiness in my private area. My question is, has anyone here suffered from hair loss from their candida, and has it been overcome? I’ve been on the diet for 3 days now, and my symptoms have become worse (esp. the hair loss and itchy scalp). I assume that this is because of the die-off. I would greatly appreciate it if you could share your experiences! Losing hair as a teenager isn’t much fun… ”Shared by Mary
Growing Old and Being Miserable has to STOP!!!
“I will be 34 next month and I feel as though I am in my 70’s.. For over 2 years now I have been sick and tired all the time. I have had ear infections, fluid on my ears, sinus infections (even had sinus surgery last year), dizzy feeling, sore throat and thrush. I have had a few yeast infections, but not to many. I have tried everything under the sun.. My doctor will not agree with me when I tell him that this could be candida and a severe case of it.. He just treats other symptoms with antibiotics and steriods. Those two medications are so dangerous.. I am finally tired of this. My two kids think I am lazy and all the time tell me I act like an old woman. I am miserable and am tired of it. So I have finally decided to do something about it. I started the diet today along with taking candex and threelac. I am praying that I get better and can make this life style change forever. I want to live a life w/out being sick all the time. Its sad that most people think I am crazy when I talk about candida. But I know this is what is wrong with me. I have gained over 40 lbs since last year and cant stop eating sugar and carbs. I crave them so bad. Good luck to you all and I know this will work for us.”Shared by Tania
10 years is long enough…
“My problems started when I was 18, I will be 28 in a month. So, I have been dealing with this for almost 10 years. It started out with vaginal infections & UTI’s. Still can not get rid of them! The symptoms will subside for a while (but feel slightly present) and then flare up again without fail. I also started experiencing allergies, extreme fatigue, sinus issues, adrenal fatigue, other hormone imbalances, very dry eyes & skin (chicken skin), moodiness, but above all the worst is definitely the vaginal infections. If i could just heal those I could learn to live with the rest. I have tried so many remedies, meds, and strategies to get rid of the infections, but nothing works! I started the diet over a year ago but only lasted a week because I gave in at a special event and had cake. I do remember feeling a little better during that week. But I never started it back up again bc I thought it would be too hard. But I cannot go the rest of my life like this. I need some relief. So I am serious about starting the diet again and using various anti-fungals & probiotics. I have to beat this because I know it is only going to get worse if I don’t. ”Shared by Betty Lynn
Candida ruined my 20’s
“Candida has taken so much from me.. The love of my life, friends, jobs, my health my life! It started about 6 years ago.. with the urinary track infections and the non stop Yeast infections. Unfortunately I grey up eating nothing but bread, cheese, lot;s of tomato sauce, pasta, beef, rice and beans and the few years of heavy drinking then the birth control shots for 3 years, then 2 surgery’s, the baby loss, the severe stress and misery I suffered from my mother abandoning me when I was 5 years old.. To living with a step mother that hated me and verbally and mentally abused me for years! I am sure all this things have a part in what I am suffering from now. This candida/Thyroid and god know what else. 4 years ago is started getting worse after a heart brake and an ex evil roommate experience I developed what I just found out is called PRURITUS is a curse! I went to the Emergency room because I couldn’t take it… Misery, agony, Insanity a curse on the human soul. The rude creepy doctor gave me a $500 allergy shot and sent me on my way.. So I have been taking Zyrtec everyday for the past 4 years or 5. and God knows what kind of damage it’s being doing to my liver and the rest of the clan. Around that time I could not lave my house because as soon as I stepped out my door my stomach would go insane and I would have to run to the Bathroom! and the severe anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, fear.. You name it!! then came a more severe depression.I don’t have the Money to be going from doctor to doctor..I found out about Candida through a psychic! I told her I was not feeling like myself and I was feeling sick and tired a lot and had trouble leaving the house. then she told me she sensed mold or candida in my life..This is the second summer I am missing out on. I am lonely because I can’t go out on any dates or have fun anywhere. The friends that I have are disappointed in me because I always have to turn them down;-( I feel like an 80 year old dying from cancer.This severe fatigue, skin problems,back pains, bone weakness, massive hair loss! and what feels like irritable bowel syndrome;-( I am working on this diet and am doing the best I can alone locked away in my place again.. for like 4 months now. Is hard to make my bills. Is hard to eat this diet.. I am not a fan of salads and veggies and I am sick of fish and chicken! I feel weak so weak and scared. I lost too much weight and am starting to look too skeleton like;-( I liked my body before. I feel like checking into some kind of rehab. I need my life back! p.s I am so glad we have the internet! It has worked better than going to the doctor for me;-) Good luck and God bless to all you girls out there dealing with this. Is hard but stick with the diet and detox that Colon as much as you can!”Shared by Denny
Meat Eater to Vegetarian to Vegan and Back Again
“As someone of mixed racial heritage (First Nations and Asian) I Have always been aware of the dietary challenges withe dairy and sugar, since these two groups have a higher incidence of lactose-intolerance and diabetes. I thought I had made choices to prevent disease from affecting my life. I was wrong on so many counts and the following is my brief history of how I came to where I am today. I have suffered from so-called allergies to things such as dust, tobacco smoke as well as other irritants such as dog and cat hair and hayfever in the spring and fall. I have had to date three sinus surgeries which have always been followed up with antibiotics, which seemed to require stronger doses each time. I was diagnosed in my early thirties with endrometriosis and was put on 2 birth control pills per day; this of course lead to a major depression which required high doses of antidepressants to alleviate my syptoms. Eventually, I had a hysterectomy and thought all my problems would simply go away and I could lead a normal pain-free life. This was not the case. My healing time seemed to take forever and when I finally dragged my pain-ridden body for my post -surgical checkup, the gynocologist thought I might have fibromyalgia. Dealing with chronic colds, the fibromyalgia would have been enough but I then started having problems with irritable bowel syndrome arthritis and chronic back pain. I’ve spent many hours in doctors’ offices trying to get to the bottom of my concerns, but with very little success. I just recently saw a naturopath in May 2011. I had nothing to lose except of course more money for treatment and suppplements which I know I would not take, since taking another pill felt like another nail in my coffin. The naturopath spent an hour with me asking me questions regarding my concerns, as well as my diet, exercise & stress levels. He then asked me a series of questions to get a idea of what toxins I might be impaired by. I left his office that day not realizing that my life was about to change radically. I went home that day without any supplements or diet recoomendations since I knew life for an upcoming graduation and holidays was not going to permit much fluctuation. After holidays were over I went back to his office and was given a diet for anti-candida as well as caprylic acid and probiotics. I started the regimen on June 19th, 2011, and the first three days were tough. I was so emotional on the Monday and Tuesday that for no reason I started crying at work. By the end of the week I started to feel better.,It’s been two weeks now and I fell FANTASTIC. I no longer have the aching joints and muscles, my bloating, gas and constipation have disappeared. I am sleeping so well and I feel happy. I’ve heard that you can slowly re-introduce sugar and flour into your diet once a large amount of the candida has been killed off, but I won’t. It has not been a challenge for me to give up sugar and gluten (even as a vegan) because to feel this way is a miracle. I have made up my mind that even testing the waters is never a good idea-why tempt fate? I would strongly encourage anyone who feels lousy in general to visit a naturopath and make radical changes-no mind games since you’ll always end up paying the ultimate price in terms of your precious health!”Shared by Wendy
confused, worried and scared
“for months i have this feeling that something is wrong within me. i started to notice my discharge, the bloating after i took birth control pills, the mood swings, depression, laziness, nausea, headaches and sinusitis, the joint and knee pains, even the cravings for sweets are all kicking in. i want to go to a gynecologist to have a check up on my discharge but before i have, i tried to browse online to have a background on what i might have. i am too afraid i might not have a baby and the gyne might not address my problem properly, as i read, i am almost sure the i have this candida thing. too bad because this case might not be known that much in my country, im afraid the doctors might take it as an STD or something else. i hope i could get cured of this infection, and have so may questions in mind. hope to hear encouragement from everyone…”Shared by ashton

Willpower, self-control, and the desire to be free of yeast
“Well, I read the stories of other women and have to say that they are like mine. I also have had yeast infections almost every month or some kind of vaginal infection constantly. In the middle of my itching- literally I came across a downloadable E-book that said something about curing your yeast infection and they had me at the work “CURE” because I was in downright turmoil. I of course bought the E-book, which really turned out to be changing my diet to a candida free diet which I have stuck to faithfully for two weeks- all with the exception of one darn piece of pizza-(we’re only human) but I have been free of symptoms and look forward to staying free of Candida FOREVER!,April”Shared by April
