Re: Nursing with Candida Treatments and Die-Off Questions

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee,

I just wanted to give a small update.  )  I've been doing the candida diet and

supplements for about 2 weeks now, and it' going well.  It has been kind of

hard, though, because I believe I'm going through a lot of die-off symptoms. 

It's so amazing to see everything that you wrote about in your article exactly

happening to me! LOL

 

I guess I just need some encouragement (wow, this is hard!).  I'm 27 years old

and I'm sure I've had this since conception, so that would be 28 months I would

need to be on this diet... hoping I can get through it!!   Also I have some more

questions if thats okay.

 

 

For the past 2 weeks, I have been soooo constipated, and have only had 2 stools

in 2 weeks!!!   Before I started the diet, I would have one stool every day, and

I would usually have 1 tablespoon of honey a day to keep me regular.  (I know,

bad idea for someone with candida I've come to find out! LOL)

Very sorry to be so graphic, but the stool is very green with black specs in

it.  Is this what a normal stool on the candida diet looks like, or would this

be part of die-off?

 

 

It's difficult because I feel so nauseaus because everything's stuck inside me

and I feel like I can't eat very much at all at this point because nothing is

leaving my body.  I'm worried about this because when nursing, I've read that we

actually need to increase our calories.  This is true, right?  Do you know how

much more fat, protein, and carbs I should be eating when nursing? Or do I just

stick to what my own ratios are?

 

 

I'm taking 6,000 mg of vitamin C a day, and my stool is actually pretty

soft-to-runny, but it's just VERY hard to go.  Also, I'm 5'6 " tall, so I'm

trying to keep my protein to fat to carbs ratios at the levels they are supposed

to be as I read in your article.  So, just wondering if there is anything else I

can do for the constipation, or if this is die-off and will eventually go away? 

2 weeks is a long time to only have 2 stools!

 

 

Also, this is a dumb question, but just want to make sure I'm calculating it

right... my baby is now 9 months old, so since conception, he would be 19

months.  So, to cure him, it would be 1 month for every year, so that would be

like almost 2 months for him before he's cured, right?   After he is cured of

this, (and hoping he's finally wanting to eat solids by then), is it still safe

for him for me to only be eating the candida diet (in case he's not eating

solids and still exclusively breastfeeding) or will he need other nutrients once

he's cured?

 

 

Since my son was born, I have been taking the herb Fenugreek to boost my milk

supply (in capsules).  Do you happen to know if this is safe to take on the

Candida diet, or should I stop taking this?

 

Also, I bought some Stevia, but just noticed that it said on the bottle to

consult a healthcare professional if pregnant or nursing.  Is Stevia ok to take

while nursing?

 

 

Also, about the vitamin C, I've read that only 500 mg can be " processed " in your

body at a time, and so if taking 1,000 mg at once, then the other 500 mg is not

used by the body but just flushed out through our urine.  I saw in your articles

that you recommend taking 1,000 mg at a time.  So, just wondering if what I have

read about the 500 mg is true, or if it really is ok to take the 1,000 mg and it

will all be used by the body? 

 

 

I'm taking 6 tablespoons of C.O. per day, but it's by using it for cooking.  I

know I should be taking spoonfuls of them (drinking it), but it just gags me. 

Is it ok to do the 6 tbsp by using it to cook with, or should I be swallowing it

by spoonful?

 

 

 

One last thing (sorry for all the questions!!  They kind of racked up in my

brain during these first 2 weeks!) 

I've noticed that my baby has gotten a ton of eczema spots all over his legs

(I'm sure this is die-off from reading your articles), but he's also started

losing his hair on his head!  Is this normal on the diet, and will it grow

back? 

 

 

Oh, one more thing - I'm taking the recommended supplements (vitamins/minerals)

each day, but would I need to increase these since I'm nursing so that they pass

through to my son?

 

Thanks so much for all of your help, Bee!! I really appreciate it so much! 

Sorry again for the many questions!!   Hope it's okay.

 

Take care,

Dear ,

Would you please break up your very long message into a couple of

Thanks so much, Bee

Dear Bee,

I just wanted to THANK YOU so very much for answering all of my questions, I

greatly appreciate it!!  I'm sorry it took so long to respond and thank you, but

I haven't been online over the holiday break, and just signed in today.  It

really surprises me that there are still people in this world like you, who take

the time out of their day to help others!  I wish there were more people like

you in this world - it would be a much better place!  You are a very caring

person to take your time to help others like this!

Thank you so much for all of your help, I am feeling much better now actually

and things are going really well!  No more constipation!

I am still getting quite the cravings for ice cream or pecan pie, hehehe, but I

know that is to be expected with sugar addiction, so I just pop Vitamin C every

hour until it takes the cravings away.

Thanks again so much for answering my long email with all those questions - you

are a lifesaver!!

So grateful to you Bee,

++Dearest . I'm so very happy for you that you are feeling

much better and that things are going really well for you! That's

fabulous you aren't constipated any more! Good for you on popping

vitamin C to curb your cravings! It does work.

+++You are so welcome for me " being here " for you and others. It is

my honor and pleasure. When you say I'm a " lifesaver " I am reminded

that after my own dear brother read my articles he said " Bee, I think

you've just saved my life! " And as it turned out I did! He cured

himself after doing my program for 2 years.

Luv & Healing Hugs, Bee
