Another die-off identifying Problem

[Guest guest]

As I wasn't able to decrease my number of BM an move on from the Intro Diet (CD

diagnosed 2007, SCD startet June 5th), I wanted to try to defend candida without

being sure if I really have overgrowth - I cant get candida tests here...

I'm already on a diet that would help against candida, and i'm already taking

probiotics prescribed from my doctor, so I bought grapefruit essential oil in a

pharmacy which is recommended for bacterial or yeast overgrowth (The oil, not th

pharmacy ;-). I took the recommended dose right away which surely was a mistake.

After one and a half day, i had really high fever, and I went to a doctor and

did not mention the candida thing as i really did forget it, i thought i was

infected by some virus or something .. The doctor told me the same and sent me

home as the fever was the only symptom (besides my " normal " crohns problems)

Anyway, back at home i remembered that i started the grapefruit essential oil

and thought the fever could be a die off reaction?? I stopped taking the full

dose and reduced to the minimum dose which i plan to increase during the next

weeks. I also discovered in the bathroom (sorry for the description) a real

weird, sweet smell when i had BM.

Since Sunday, the fever went down but isn't gone yet and I still cant go to

work. The number of BM since then has slightly decreased.

Do you think this is die-off? and what should I do to recover as quickly a

possible?

Thank you for you help!
