Guest guest Posted June 23, 2000 Report Share Posted June 23, 2000 Hi, I just got blood test results back and they said I dont have it in my blood and my blood count is normal. I guess that means its not systemic. My Dr. trys to act like he knows about this stuff but I dont think he does. He never mentioned diet. He just says hmmm. I know the stuff has died off in me twice because after 3 days of taking the medicine (diflucan & nyststin) I get real sick for 24 hours or less. It is a resistant case because diflucan alone wont touch it. The Candidias starts in my mouth (started from a steroid inhaler /no longer use) then goes in my eye, my ear and esophagus. Right now I have very few if any symptoms. I have been going through this for 3 months. Every time I quit the medicine it comes back. I am prepared to eat whatever I need to eat. I just dont know what it is. There is so much information it is mind boggling. I am 47 years old and have never been on a diet because I have a very high metabolism. I am 5' 8 " tall and never weighed much over 165. I have never really been sick till 1 year ago when I got the lung disease from working with asbestos and silica for 30 years. I must admit I now know I have been lucky for all these years. I have eaten like a PIG all my life. I have used 4-5 tablespoons of sugar with vanilla flavored cream in a mug of coffee for years and at least 2-3 20 oz. bottles of coke a day. With cerial I dont use a spoon for my sugar. I go right for the cannister and use the scoop and pile it up. mmmmmmmboy! Writing this down it really sounds stupid. Unfortunately true though. So if I stop sugar now its ok. I have already consumed more than most do thier entire life. This is what I have so far thanks to a great guy from England. Hamburger is fine. All vegetables are fine. Wholewheat bread only Are carbohydrates OK?? I am so scared of it coming back I have only eaten red meat with water for a few days. I dont want to eat the wrong thing. Canned veggies have carbohydrates are they ok? Can I have milk?? How about unsweetened cold cerial? It all has a little sugar (1-2 grams). I ate some pretzels the other night befor I realized they had sugar too. It seems like everything has sugar. Sorry for the long post. Its just that I only have a couple days of the medicine left and I could really use a litte help right now. Just meat and water gets tired REAL fast but is better than the yeast. Thanks Again Guys!
