Kefir and Herxheimer's reaction

[Guest guest]

I go through some spells where I just don't want to drink my kefir.

I'll go for a couple weeks without it and then I realize that I have

a candida overgrowth throughout my system (mostly skin and ear

drainage issues) and decide that I've been lazy long enough. I know

what yeast die off feels like as I do this to myself quite often

(don't ask...sometimes I just want to be able to have my sugar

cravings {stupid, I know}). This particular time, though, I have

noticed a different reaction. I don't know if I just let things go

too far this time or if it is even really related. I am on about day

7 of the die off cycle and yesterday I noticed that my tongue had a

thick, dark yellow coating. Has anybody else experienced this? I

may just need to back off a little as I have re-started ingesting

coconut oil to help my cholesterol (which also causes Herx.

reactions). I don't want to back off too much as I want all those

ugly critters out of my system and things are at a level of

discomfort that I can still tolerate. I just want to be sure that

the tongue thing is related (as I think it is).

I would appreciate any thoughts.

Thanks,
