Guest guest Posted October 20, 2001 Report Share Posted October 20, 2001 Heidi, You have to remove the fruits from your diet, this feeds yeast because it contains sugar-fructose. The oil in your salad change to olive oil, it is anitfungal. Protein is good but it must be lean and if possible not contain the antibiotic or hormone shots that commercial companies use. Buy from local farmers, if you can, that doesn't do all this chemical harm to their animals. Take psyllium husk, medium ground for constipation. Slippery elm helps too. Liz D fruit/yeast Greetings, I'm new here. :-) I done some research on the net and in the archives but am unsatisfied so I'm asking directly! I'm not positive I have a candida problem. I do initally feel better on the candida-type diet after about a week. After a few weeks, though, I become very tired. Upon awakening I feel as though I am made of lead and it feels nearly impossible to move. Is this a die-off reaction or am I eating too much oil and protein? I would, with the anit-Can. diet eat a big salad of romaine, onion, olive and flax oil, maybe tuna or hard-boiled egg, and walnuts... Then I start to feel quite constipated and bloated. I've always used fruit to keep me moving, and, recently when I have, I see, what looks to me, like big amts of bacteria and/or yeast that gets forced out with the 'movement'. Is the fruit helping to move out the yeast or is it feeding it? What measures can I take-- besides lots of water and vegetables- to assure that I will keep moving my bowels and not furthering putrefication? Is constipation a common thing during die-off? I will be seeing a new Dr. in January that, apparently, is a " yeast believer " , as my current one, well, I'm not going to bother! Oh-- I have been on the pill for about 6 years-- is it completely necesarry to go off of it to get rid of candida/parasites?

Your vegetables should be lightly steamed. You should take digestive enzymes. You should take homozon or Sonne's psyllium with bentonite or Experience by Awareness to keep bowels moving. Constipation can happen during a severe healing crisis, but it should not happen regularly. If you feel like lead, you might be anemic from lack of iron. That can cause severe fatigue and can make you feel leaden. I also think you should not be on the pill if you have candida. And yes, fruit feeds candida. How come you think you have candida? Robin G.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 > How come you think you have candida? > Robin G. Hi Robin, thanks for your reply. I'm not sure I have candida. My symptoms- bloat, gas, constipation, dark eye-circles, smelly bowels. I have been following the " Blod type diet " , as i am an " O " with some improvements. It's hard for me to tell if " it's " candida. I get exhausted often, spacey, bloated, (as I said--big problem). I have a history of digestive problems. The O diet removd my chronic ulcer- of 7 years! 3 years doing bloodtype diet and no more ulcer- at last! I have stress problems- an anxiety disorder- so that could be all of my " bowel " problems. Can't deny the impact of stress! Reading " The Diet Cure " by Ross last year caused me to conside candida, and furhter, Crook's book. I'm still not sure though, Sometimes fruit is no problem- and I seem to require it to stay regular- unless I eat lots of vegetables and oils, but w/o fruit I get massive chocolate cravings, W/ fruit- none. Perhaps my " yeast " problem is merely a constipated stress reponse? For I have seen nausea and " digestive problems " , along w/ headache/lethargy diminish upon a good bowel movement--so I wonder if it's just a toxicicty build-up and not necessarily yeast. Also- hypoglycemic problems. Mt current Doctor always wants to put me on Prozac, for *everything* it seems! It's hard for me to tell, with such a mix going on in my life. I began to get my " old " symptoms mentioned above a few weeks into followng a candida diet (bloat, etc.) Trying to figure it all out is frustrating me and all the supplements- what to take, what's appropriate overwhelms me! Geesh! I believe so much in diet alone. I don't really like to take lots of supplements if it's not completelynecessary. I'm feeling like a hypochrondriac. What do you think? Thanks, Heidi __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2001 Report Share Posted October 22, 2001 Hello again, so tired last night I forgot to include a major question I had that directed me to the possibility of candida-- Stools being very black (no bleeding apparent, BTW), " hot " , and sludge-like. This was particularly noticable when I returned from a trip to Europe this summer. As usual, I was constipated on vacation! Always happens. I took a laxative when I got home and tons of black sludge oozed from my guts. Also, lately, my feces seem to have this " bacteria-looking " stuff floating around it in the toilet. Doesn't this seem like some kind of candida or even parasite problem? Thanks, Heidi __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2001 Report Share Posted October 22, 2001 Have you started a bowel cleanse yet? It sounds as though you would benefit from this greatly. Just wanted you to know that after my black stools, mucus and plaque moved out, I no longer suffer from hypoglycemia. Don't waits time to get well. Some answers to your questions may be found in having a stool analysis done. Great Smokes Diagnostic Lab does this but it must be done through a doctor. It is a bit expensive. I would imagine that any family doctor would arrange a stool test for parasites and blood if you give them your symptoms. They would pay attention to this. Since you said that you once suffered from a stomach ulcer, I would be interested in knowing if my colon was suffering in anyway with ulceration. Also if it is bleeding this is a serious sign it can be colon cancer. The doctor would run a colonscopy for that, it is necessary. You could have bleeding without pain.

Perhaps my " yeast " problem is merely a > constipated stress reponse? You obviously have sugar cravings (fruit is sugar), which could be due to the hypoglycemia alone, or could be candida or parasites. To know if you have candida you have to ask yourself if you get severely affected by humidity (bloating, fatigue, feeling " dirty all over, " itchy, pains). Candida response to humidity is drastic, more drastic than it is with parasites. But parasites can cause intense sugar/chocolate cravings. If you don't react drastically to the humidity, that might be it. Do you have any localized fungus? That also could indicate candida. I doubt that it is merely a stress response. If anything, the underlying illness/dietary problems will cause the stress response. You really should stay off the fruit. Whether it's candida, parasites or just hypoglycemia, the excessive amounts of sugar won't help; you're better off with vegetables. You can also take licorice root to minimize those sugar cravings which are specifically caused by hypoglycemia. Robin G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
