Guest guest Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Hi there, I'm writing to hopefully get some advice on my situation. I have 8 amalgam fillings and have a had a whole lot of health problems for the last 10 years or so including: fungal infection of the scalp, indigestion, hormonal imbalance (including hair growing from chin which started 10 years ago when I was 18 and gets worse every year), vaginitis, hemarroids, diarrhea and constipation (its very rare that I get a normal bowel movement), history of major depression, underweight, white tounge, acne, phlegm, low body temperature, brain fog, insominia, fatigue, frequent urination during the night usually towards morning. Having assumed that all of these problems were related to Candida overgrowth I started on a high fat, moderate protein and low carb diet, no sugar, fruit, grains etc. etc. about 3 months ago. The diet is basically just meat, fats, veggies, eggs and spices. I wanted to try and clear the Candida up and improve my health in general before having the amalgams removed. However this diet also happens to be high sulfur. I have about 4 raw eggs a day, 2tbs of butter, meat with every meal, broccoli, cauliflower, aspargus etc. etc. etc. most meals would have a few high sulfur vegies. I'm now concerned that I am actually doing myself harm than good by doing this. For the last month I have become very irritable and I have started urinating frequently towards the end of the night. These are both conditions I have had many times before but had been absent for about 6 months before the starting the diet and I'm concerned the Sulfur has reignited them. I also have poor adrenal and thyroid function as well as possible anemia. One other strange thing I noticed today is that I seem to have more moles than when I last looked. Well freckles I guess as they are not raised. This seems very odd to me! I've also had a pounding headache all day. It is very unusal for me to get headaches. I'm now so confused as to what to do. Before it seemed a simple case of stick to the candida diet and detox which will eventually hopefully fix the adrenals, throid and candida and thereby improve my health enough to get the amalgams removed. Now that I'm aware of the problems with high sulfur I just don't know what to do. I could try try a low sulfur diet for 7 days and see how I feel but I'm afraid all the vegies will feed the candida and I will feel bad anyway and therefore still not know if the sulfur is actually a problem. I would like to just rush in and have these amalgams removed but how can I do that if my body is just not ready? I also can't really afford it yet but I guess I could get a loan. Do I completely ignore the candida diet and not worry about feeding the candida. Sorry to ask all these questions at once but I'm feeling very very lost and very very concerned.

TK--- cut out the sulfer foods - you can still follow a cnadida diet without them. I also have poor adrenal and thyroid > function TK--- get them tested properly and support them - many times this helps people tremendously as well as possible anemia.

TK--- no, you can change your diet. the diet you are following is not the only diet that helps with candida - cut out the dairy, eggs and switch to vegetables that are not high sulfer.

Thanks TK, I guess that includes Butter as well? That is the only dairy I currently eat.
