Hey Guys, I was just doing some reading of posts and I find that a lot of us don't understand what is going on w/the fungus among us! You didn't get this over night and it could be several months of careful diet to get back to a symbiotic relationship w/the yeast beast.

We don't want to get rid of it completely as it is a normal part of your flora. Like a monster that gets too big if you feed it too much though, it can get out of hand.

Furthermore, it, or something else has damaged your gut (intestinal) lining, and that could take a while to heal. How about 6 mo or a year?! Dairy and wheat should be avoided at all costs for a while, and I've seldom seen a candida sufferer that wasn't a cheese junkie. lol

If you mess up, start again the next day on the low carbs. The yeast will roar like a lion at feeding time, but don't give in to what feels like hunger even after you've eaten. The craving may last until the heavy carbs are emptied out in 2-4 days.

My problem was the meal that lasted from supper until bedtime, just craving something but not knowing what. lol Feed it some celery, I find I feel full after a couple of stalks and it is great for the cleansing action.

It really weirds me out too cause before I started this I'd say I was addicted to cheese. I actually hoarded cheese in my fridge lol.. my husband loves to tease me about it. I couldn't' care less about cheese right now t hough... it's just all about my coffee
This was in a post by Marlee, I am not all that computer literate and don't know how to do the thing correctly. LOL

Anyhow, I just wanted to tell Marlee that she should try hiding the cheese behind the vegetable bin in the 'frig. "Mother is the necessity of invention". It worked just fine until my DH came in one day demanding cheese, he knew I'd just bought some. He was a diabetic so he really needed it?! Anyhow, the jig was up then as there are just not many hiding places in a refrigerator.

Fight the good fight ladies. This isn't a dress reheasal!!! The carb hangover every morning is the pits. I used to live in a migraine, getting one, had one, getting over one. They would just be there in the morning. Not so much w/my golden yrs, thankfully! But, it was really hard to cope w/3 kids and a DH. Diabetes always wins, lost DH in '96. Life just is what it is. If you live long enough they will all be gone, be sure you are someone you can like.

Hate to hear Dr Truss passed, he was a wonderful person, really kind and sweet. I know all the glory goes to Dr Crook but he just built on Dr Truss' research results.

Marlee · 10-01-2009, 04:38 PM

lol thanks for the cheese strategies. I was pretty much the only one who ate it so I'm just not buying it anymore. It's pretty amazing how this diet stops cravings for stuff. I really couldn't care less if I eat or not right now and that's very unusual for me

I found out, also, that he had a stroke two days before he died. So sad, but he had a very accomplished life. It never seemed to bother him that others got credit for his work. He just wanted to heal his patients.

He managed to publish his second book on Candida before he died. My mom says it's on GoogleBooks but not on Amazon. I haven't looked up yet, but I plan to do so soon.

Kathy_de_Alabama · 10-02-2009, 06:14 AM

The saddest part about Dr. Truss' passing (for society, not for his family) was that no one took over his practice. There are other good doctors and allergists in Birmingham, but none with his exact methodologies.

He asked me when I was in high school if I was interested in medicine. He was hinting. I was just too young and immature to realize it.

granny on the go · 10-22-2009, 11:03 PM

Well, I've not logged in for a long time but I do have some real good news for me!! I finally got a bad case of diarrhea (er, 3 weeks) and decided to finally have the upper and lower GI tests done that I had put off for years, (well just 5). LOL

I chose an afternoon for my test as I just try to sleep until I wake up each day and that always depends on when the "Sleep Fairy" finally stops by.

So, this was one day of liquids and then the clean out solution. That was the worst part. It gives you diarrhea but that isn't all that distressing. It's the having to drink a WHOLE GALLON OF LIQUID in one evening.

My appt was for 2 pm. The anesthia was good, I felt like I'd had a great nap. Had my DIL to drive me home afterwards. No after effects at all.

But, with the liquid fast and the giant clean-out it was like starting w/a new digestive tract the next day. I could tell right away what was good for me and what was causing a problem. The only time I have a problem is if I eat concentrated carbs!! DUH!! CANDIDA. It seems to be all of my fullness and discomfort, gas, constipation, diarrhea, etc. was just too many carbs. AND, dairy products. The Great News!! After bronchial pneumonia 9 times in 8 months I haven't had pneumonia even a bit since I quit dairy products. And, frankly, I was wondering how I was going to live thru the winter!! I got pneumonia every time I got a little chilled. Whew! I was just plain scared, I have to admit.

The doctor reports that I have a small hiatial hernia and some inflammation near where the stomach empties into the small intestine.

I still have setbacks but I know now what to do when I have a problem, go to liquids (meat or potato broth) for half a day and proceed cautiously from there.

My Insomnia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are much improved! I really have to push myself to get the bed rest I need to get over the CFS. If I act like business as usual then I make myself sick again. I did get some floor cleaning and errands run this week before I got too sick to go! Discipline. Oh yeah, the Candida Diet begins at the grocery store. I have to just not buy dairy, honey, maple syrup. Fortunately, I live alone so it is just me wrestling w/my conscience. lol I find other people just don't understand why you can't eat what what you want like they do. They can't imagine life w/o wheat, sugar, cheese.....and on and on. Oh yeah, I'm down to 123 lbs now as well as feeling better, I look better, too. 'Living well is the best revenge'. And smile, it just looks younger!!

HI,

This is my first post here. I am hoping the thread is still active. I havent gotten to the end of it in my reading so I am not sure

I was told I had candida the beginning of Septemeber. I went on a strict candida diet and was taking fluconazole, milk thistle and experienced the worst die off! Of course I had no idea what die off was at that point. I am much more informed now and am ready to try slowly again.

Currently I have cut sugar in the last week. Going ok.
I take the following daily:
Milk thistle
Fluconazole
AZO Yeast- had a itchy comeback last week and htis helps
Magnesium
a pharmacuitcal multi
Threelac-Not sure this is helping like they claim.
I stated ACV the other day and my face is clearing up!! Praise God! My bowels are becoming more regular but today I can feel some die off.

I have a headache, tummy feel sweird and I am very sluggish. I have been up for 5 hours and just got dressed. Not like me!

I am going slow. I am going to cut out daily next. I was under the impression we could eat goat chesse. Am I wrong?

I am doing some researchon the Atkins diet and want to begin that as well.

Well that it. For now anyways. I love the thread and will keep reading.

My dr has had me on progesterone for the past 3 years for hot flashes, peri menopause issues. I just started taking vitamin D for a thyroid issue.

Can these be Candida related???? I just thought of that.

I will admit I have stopped the progesteron this past month due to some things I have read on bio identical hormone therapy.

Thanks!
Mary

What was your recipe for the mayo? Please share

fawn · 10-29-2009, 11:26 AM

I sure hate to see all of you suffer for so long. CS really is a superior candida killer. I know. My future DIL had such a severe case of candida she had ring worm and my oldest daughter had the light headed/spacey feelling. The CS got rid of DIL's ringworm in just days and DD is doing much better.
we actually make it.

I'm sorry girls, it's colloidal silver. "The original antibiotic that doesn't disrupt good flora"
You will see one case of arguyria if you google this. It's ridiculous and I and others believe a plant for pharma. He drank copious amounts of low quality product. I take it daily during times of stress (right now I have a little toothache I'm treating with it)

Apologies for the grossness.

Bad belly button - pusses and weeps smelly yellow stuff. Vast improvement since I started Atkins 6 weeks ago (had 2 days severe die-off type muscle ache). My belly button returned to normal for a while nad was not red and sore. Still on Atkins induction, loads of weight to loose and belly button puss has returned this week (but less painful, alot less liquid and not quite as smelly and skin is not as red so skin not infected). Is this Candida or what? Anyone had this?
