Let's talk....YEAST/CANDIDA!!

[fawn]

Melissa, don't worry about vitamin D toxicity. That's actually a study that was performed on synthetic forms of D.

The CLO is also a superior source for your children of Vitamin A

My son at 24 has a vitamin A deficiency as he can't tolerate sun at all near his eyes (classic symptom) and DD, 20 suffers with eye sight problems as well.

I take CLO for vitamin D stores and I'm in the sun daily when I can.

and Prozak, your statement regarding wish I knew then what I know now? I CAN SO RELATE! I've even apologized to my adult children and promised to be the best nutrition grandma I could be.

My little friends baby is doing marvelously by the way!

[gina1]

i confess i just told my husband i can't understand why i am so itchy. i am going to up my co and i am just starting with the acv. i'll see if that helps. its embarrassing,but i learn so much on these boards thank you!

[gina1]

my daughters have sensory issues. the occupational therapist explained to me that the yeast infection is in the gut very close to a nerve that starts with a v.?? (can't remember the name) this can also cause emotional changes. in my case my daughter gets very angry. they also have many symptoms from previous page. i have changed their diets they are basic low carb, but they do eat fruit and i do not bring junk into the house and i notice a huge difference in my girls. maybe its not sensory,but yeast infections. i just find this interesting.

That is very interesting. I have omitted the junk from my DD's woe but DS is EXTREMELY sensitive to certain colors of foods and prefers to eat plain old bread so I hope when he starts therapy we will get to a point that he will eat the same way as the rest of our family and I will see improvements also.

also, re: swimming pools

the chlorine in them will kill all the natural flora on our skin, leaving them more susceptible to yeast/candida and any other infections.

I recommend a good rinse and a light coating of coconut oil after every swim.....

This really is all coming together, thanks for the thread Toot

Hey, I'm learning along with you guys. I'm loving this thread. It really is coming together for me too.

re: coconut oil

if you cannot get older kids to take it, try some coconut milk and o/j together. (just make sure is is 100% OJ and no added sugar of any type...) throw in an umbrella and fancy straw, they will LOVE it (again, watch for CPS if your kids go to school bragging about pina coladas for breakfast LOL)

Also, coconut milk can be added to the baby's formula.. it doesn't harden as the bottle cools, and works better in cold formula when they are older and you are no longer heating the bottles.

[Margot 65]

Oh let me add than ANY CHILD who has taken antibiotics should be considered as having candida overgrowth as well.

yes, thinks Mother, SHE'S BEEN ON WW FOR 7 YEARS AND IS STILL 100LBS OVER WEIGHT!
We've gotten through that and she has tried to irradicate it but she's not doing what it takes to stick with it for optimum results which is sad for me.

Like Prozak and Steph, I got lazy with it and thought I could just rely on low carb. I'm loving this thread and can see so many of us waking up. What if you had her join this thread? It's sort of like a mini support group in here.
Would it help her?

Are you referring to Coconut Oil when you say "Milk" or is this a different product?

[Margot 65]

I know my sister would be here in a heartbeat if she did not live 1/2 way up the Alaska Highway with nothing but dial up!

I ordered her the book The Diet Cure for her birthday...

The milk out of a coconut

Look for an organic brand like this:

Coconut Milk, Unsweetened, Organic, 14 oz.:...">Amazon.com: Coconut Milk, Unsweetened, Organic, 14 oz.:...
There are several types found in most baking sections of stores, but watch for additives. Sometimes they add stuff to keep the cream from separating and you only want the pure, full fat milk

Really good stuff and I am going to switch to that in my coffee and egg creams as well.

I believe the fat can be skimmed off the top and whipped as well!

yep Melissa, milk is a completely different product. It's from mature coconuts. Then, there's also coconut water which I buy my nephew instead of gatorade for his football games. He's my little luv health nut. He notices a huge difference.

Tooter, I tried to get her involved in the forums. It's difficult. I am very slow and gentle with her. She is the perfect co-dependent

I nick named her boyfriend while we were in Mexico one year and I saw how HE eats!

His nickname is

TF Azucare (TF=trans fats Azucare as you may already know is the spanish word for sugar)

Buy the unsweetened cans of coconut cream-they can be whipped. I add a can to organic dried coconut for a delicious pudding. I got the recipe from "Eat Fat Lose Fat" by Enig & Fallon.

In case it was missed

[wannabeslim4life]

So could you just crack open a coconut and drink the milk for the same benefit? My DD came home from a neighbors house where she was given some coconut milk and she said it gave her a horrible headache. But when I give her the Coconut Oil she does not have any problems.

My Goodness, Gina... I have read about Children with Candida and YES, there are lots of problems it can cause in them. Imagine these little kids walking around with all those toxins in them. Autism, emotional, Sensory problems...etc.

Do a Search on Candida and Children and a lot will come up on that search.

Some cheaper brands of coconut milks have preservatives or added sugar in them, maybe even whatever it is they do to it to keep it from separating... it could have been one or a combo of those.

I do believe when you open a coconut the 'milk' is actually clear.. so this stuff is probably squeezed out of the meat because it is really thik and creamy... not sure, just guessing?

The juice or water is what comes from the inside of the coconut. The milk is made by squeezing or pressing the meat.

Yep and to get the water...it depends on how old the coconut is. Young coconuts have a lot more coconut water then older coconuts.

[Margot 65]

Ahhhhhhhhhh, makes sense lisa

I wonder how nice a can of coconut milk would be in the bath....... now THAT would be something to do after swimming in chlorine huh??

I bet it would be great on the hair too...

[Tooter]

Umm...Another Die off sign is Pain in between your shoulder blades. Anyone experience this?

I put 2 and 2 together on this the hard way. After my 4th son was born, I had a "Tubal". They told me I would have pain in between my shoulder blades as the toxins from the gas (they gave me to bloat up my stomach to see things better) were being released in my body. It was a side effect from the operation.

Well... I also get this with some "die off". I've got in in one shoulder right now. I've had it before with "die off" was wondering if anyone else did. Hey, the toxins have to go some where.

I just wanted to add...I can get this reaction too, if I have eaten off plan. It usually happens hours later.

I guess I just thought I had it under control and slacked off. Now the question is, where do I start again. Definitely will grab some CO tonight on the way home from work. What else do you all suggest?

Oh my gosh! I've been having the same symptoms....I got a rash the other day and couldn't figure out why. Plus, I had a headache the other day that bordered on a migraine as well as some of the other things you mentioned.

In the old days, when I was my heaviest, I had loads of bathroom issues . My doctor thought I had IBS and I was living on imodium. I was really nervous about going out to dinner or out and about because of these issues. I have done some research and I think my tummy issues were due to yeast. Since going on Atkins, I'm like 98% better.

This thread had been so informative.

[Tooter]

Ok, Prozak...My mind is wondering again. I WONDER...if Yeast is the problem with people who Stall with cheese, cream etc?

So, how many of you stall with too much dairy, those who are reading this thread? *raising my hand* I do.

[TXUKGal]

A while back i posted about palpitations that I was having on a regular basis. I upped my calcium and magnesium and eat potassium rich foods everyday. The palpitations went away but are now back from time to time.

Tonight we had a do at work and I caved and ate a sandwich (I haven't had bread in months) and granted it was on wheat bread but still. Now, 4 hours later, I'm still having a few palpitations but they were quite regular about 30 mins or less after eating the sandwich.

Could yeast be a culprit with my palpitations? Either in die off or a flare up of yeast?

I know it is bringing so many lightbulb moments to me reading this and googling info. Especially about Autism.

Hmmmmm, food for thought for sure. I stall if I eat too much, 20-40g is about all I can have before it effects me.
