But it will be okay if it has not been opened. Cod liver oil, fish oil, and vitamins A, D or E in capsules need to be kept in the fridge after opening them. Cheers to you too Pip, Bee P.S. Pip can you please trim your messages? See our Group Files (left menu) - How to Trim Your Messages is in the Candida Group Information Folder. Thanks a bunch.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Pip, If you aren't 100% on plan but just trying to do it while still including off plan foods you might see weight gain like this. The other thing is you might be doing too high protein or carbs or too low/high in calories. If you want more help feel free to email me privately.

Is this to be expected or am I taking too much VCO. Note I buy my VCO from Mountain Rose Herbs. And other than increasing my VCO there have been no changes in my diet since the weight gain. ==>See " Taking the Fear Out of Eating Fat " located in our Group's Files (left menu) in the Folder Candida Diet & Shopping Lists & All About Foods - it is in the Fat Facts folder. It explains that CO does not put on weight. As you continue to progress on this program your weight will stabilize to where it should be. The only other thing I can think of is that you should try an Extra Virgin Coconut Oil instead of the one from Mountain Rose Herbs for awhile to see if it makes a difference - give it 1 month. The one from Mountain Rose Herbs is good, but it isn't the highest quality one available - see our Group's Files for the Coconut Oil folder which contains an article by Jackie, which is very good for CO brands.

So perhaps that's happeing to > you as well? Just a thought? ==>, you should be " trying " to keep your total fat intake to such a low amount of fats. These good fats do not create body fats, unnatural fats and oils do, as well as carbs. One of the main reasons this program is so successful is because it is high in good fats. ==>You should be trying to eat the ratios of protein to fat to carbs recommended in my article " How to Successfully Overcome Candida " - in our Group's Files (left menu), and also see the Folder Candida Diet & Shopping Lists & All About Foods, and look for the Folder " Calculate Ratios " as well, which will suggest using www.fitday.com to figure out the amount of foods in each of these groups to eat. ==>If you are concerned about good fats putting on weight please read " Taking the Fear Out of Eating Fats " in the same Candida Diet folder, but look for the " Fat Facts " Folder inside of it. If you are concerned about Cholesterol, which is a total myth, see my main article " How to Successfully Overcome Candida " and reread this section: b. High " good " fats and oils, including oil soluble vitamins and omega-3 essential fatty acids The best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Given about half the people who complain about weight changes on LDN complain about gaining weight and the other half about losing it my guess is that you're correct!

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Thye told me the same thing, in the course of 1 year i gained 50 pounds! it was horrible for me being an active soccer playing thin teen to go from size 0 and up so quickly! I now know of course it was because of the co-infection, sudden bed bound condition, and puberty. It still is depressing though! Elaina From: gwendolyny1 <gwendolyny1@...> Subject: [ ] Weight Gain Date: Saturday, April 4, 2009, 8:28 AM I told my primary care doctor on Thursday that I am gaining weight. I gained 5 pounds in 2 weeks. The told me, that is because you are not moving around or exercising. She told me that my metabolism has slowed down, and that if I did not want to gain weight, I need to exercise. She is the same doctor who I had to beg her to approve me for aqua therapy; To test me for Lyme; To prescribe me medication for H.Pylori; To give me referrals to see specialists; and to get various test. To me, she has that old " Group Health " mentality, trying to save the company money by denying patients proper care. I have enough medical problems as it is, and I sure don't want anymore. Dealing with Diabetes is time-consuming and painful at times. Another nightmare, is when my pharmacy gave me the wrong type of insulin for about 3 months. I broke out in hives, severe itching, confusion, and difficulty breathing. I remember having vision problems and fatigue during this time, but did not know what it was coming from. I don't know if Lyme had anything to do with any of these symptoms. This happened twice, and both times it sent me to the Emergency Room. I will continue eating my yogurt and probotics to help my immune system. Gwen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Doug Just found email replies have been going into my bulk folder. At one time I was very hungry alot, but most of my life including now I have to remind myself to eat. Since my family doesn't help I basically eat whatever I can find in the cubbard which I know most is not nutrition. When I do have any energy to cook I eat very healthy. At the time I was hungry alot I was gaining and through some reading thought I had Candida but busy with four kids ignored it. At my last llmd appt I was told I did have it. The very restricted diet my dr put me on for it is very difficult for me to follow with the lack of energy, brain fog, and that i'm a vegetarian....but I keep working on it. And at my last llmd appt blood work confirmed lack of vit d. I recently heard from someone vit d can also help with brain fog which I have alot of. I'm hoping the vit d I'm taking now will help with all that. I find what your saying interesting about weight gain and vit d. Are you saying lack of vit d helps with gaining weight? I really hope that is the case and it will also help with my weight. After 4 children I was still a size 3 at 5'3 " then went to over 200 lbs. I'm still around 190. I happen to be a nut fanatic with almonds being my all time fav. I'll give munching on them like you said a try. I'll write more later. I'm replying off my phone and finding it hard to do this morning. Jaye Sent from my iPhone.
