I think it may have sugar in it...some of them do, but not sure if they have an unflavored one.

I haven't forgotten about posting the diet thing, but I'm looking at it and it's much longer than I remember, so I may wait until Monday so I can scan it at work. :P

Also, I think it was you that asked about the turkey sausage...the brand is Shelton. I finally found the patty style today, it's just turkey, sea salt and spices (but gluten free).

April, this is kind of off the candida topic, but seeing as you mentioned it on this thread...do you use the charcoal to help get rid of the metals that you've moved with the rest of your programme? When do you take the charcoal in relation to everything else?

Thanks!

The charcoal would be good for candida die off as it porduces many toxins. Be sure you take it about 2 hours away from any other meds or supplements. It will absorb those as well. I usually mix mine in with my fiber and take it before bed.

But if you are having issues mid-day you can take it then too.

Just FYI, over on in the low oxalate world, we don't take much Vit C because it is very high oxalate and can be further damaging to the gut in high doses. 250 mg/day is okay, but I think that Emergen-C stuff is 1,000 mg. I'd go easy on it. There are other anti-oxidants -- like E and A and Coenzyme Q10 that can be substituted.

Okay, well, I'm at about day ten on this candida diet and am now totally PLUGGED UP -- which is not my normal state. It feels awful when this happens -- like I'm just sitting here filling up with toxins. I've done two rounds of fiber, tons of water, very little food (there's no room for more!), lots of yoga, and nothing's moving. Ah well....

Heres a link to an informative radio program regarding candida overgrowth.

(scroll down to "Clearing up the Candida Confusion").

Open Original Shared Link

This is some good info but unfortunately one importnat aspect is not mentioned. That would be the link between mercury and candida.

I started out my journey seeing some Dr.'s who are very knowledgeable about every issue in these radio programs...they utilize the BioHealth services and most likely had some training from the Dr. interviewed in this program.

After 8 months they were unable to get to the root of my problem and I had not made any progress. I was referred to a Dr. who specializes in mercury detox. From that point on I have been with Dr.'s who have made the best decisions regarding my treatment...and I have come a long way. :)

This quote is taken from the website of one of my practitioners.

Is the presence of mercury amalgam fillings a source of heavy metal toxicity for the body?

There is a growing body of evidence to support the opinion that mercury in our mouths in the form of fillings pollutes our organs with heavy metals.

We have found in our BioSET

Aprilh, That GI testing that you had done, was that a test that you had done on your own, like enterolab, or does the Dr have to order it for you? janet

I listened to the thing Rachel posted also, and one thing I thought was interesting was the test d-arabanitol. I actually had that done because Dr. H ordered it for me, but I thought some people on here may be interested in having it done. He said it is a huge deal as far as diagnosing Candida.

Paula, here is the stuff my doctor gave me eons ago. Please note that this is geared more toward MOLD, not candida necessarily. I have a huge issue with mold (I'm highly allergic to it environmentally, and I have high levels of antibodies to it in my blood), so this was given to me for avoiding things I might cross-react to. Even with this list, my doctor strayed from what was on it MANY TIMES, especially in regards to the antibiotics--he was the allergist/ENT who prescribed basically three years of antibiotics for a never-ending sinus infection!

I do think I have something from him that was more geared towards Candida...I still have to locate THAT, lol. But this is good for determining what might cross-react (not everyone will).

I didn't have it done. Someone on Yeast Connection Forum had it done and really had good results knowing exactly what she was dealing with. I wish now that I had done something like that. I feel like I am grasping at straws sometimes.

I think Genova Diagnostics does those type tests as well. My ND would be able to order either.

Hey you guys,

I've been dealing with a fair amount of nausea in the last week -- it's been about two weeks on the candida diet now. It seems better when I eat, but it's like morning sickness (and no, I'm not pregnant!) in that the nausea only subsides literally while I'm eating.

You all having anything like this? Nausea is not normally a GI symptom I have. Is this a typical yeast die-off symptom, does anyone know?

Thanks!

Well i have felt the same way all day, i had thought cause i forgot to eat, well then i did eat and 30 minutes later i got nasuated, and i know im not pregnant lol.

I have been in bed since about 11 today, cause i dont feel good. Even tho i had a great few hours this morning.

Maybe someone will know if it is a die off symptom, ive only been on it for 6 days, but if this a die off and it has lasted u an week, im scared to continue feeling like this.

Sometimes the liver can cause nausea. But yeah, die off can be different for everyone. Nausea is very likely from die off and will pass.

I haven't felt nausea this time, but the first time I did the candida diet, I felt slightly nauseated.

Well, this is reassuring to hear (I think?) that you all have dealt with nausea too on this diet.

I thought about my liver as well -- I've been taking milk thistle and red clover tea for liver tonic -- maybe it's under a load from processing toxins?

I'll go poke around on google and see what I can find out about yeast die-off symptoms. The nausea is a total drag, as you all know. It just affects everything all day long.

:lol: I agree Paula...it would be great if we could just feel good right away, lol. Unfortunately those stupid "bugs" create all kinds of toxins, both when they are alive and when they die, and that's what makes us feel worse before we get better. Stupid bugs! :angry:

Paula,

I forgot but are you doing antifungals? If you are doing more than 1 at the time, you may want to back off a bit and let your body deal with the toxins that it already has. Then once you feel better, you can bump it up a notch.

Lemon water is good for the liver. Helps cleanse the liver and kidneys. Unless, of course, you have a citrus allergy!!

Definatley under a toxin load. Sweating, dry skin brushing, detox baths. All that kind of stuff might help. The milk thistle and tea sound like a good plan.

But almost all of these tests are known by different names so the terminology will vary from place to place and lab to lab.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty! My feet aren’t dry or ashy and I don’t have a rash that gets scaly. It’s like very itchy/burning vesicles that are symmetrical - on both arms, both legs, etc. They actually feel better in direct sunlight as long as it isn’t really hot or I’m not exercising outside, but gets worse if I sweat (especially if the area is covered up). It’s not usually on the outside of my elbows and knees which seems more typical of dermatitis herpetiformis (unless it spreads there). It tends to first hit the inside of those areas. Interestingly, twice the rash broke out soon after eating an unhealthy meal and having an alcoholic drink (I only drink a few times a year, no more alcohol content than a glass of wine).  So I wonder if there is a connection. I’m halfway considering doing a gluten challenge for a few months to see what happens, knowing I can stop if I have any symptoms, and asking for a full celiac disease panel at the end. I really appreciate your thoughts!

      Welcome, @JudyLou, Your rash sounds very similar to the one I experienced.  Mine was due to a deficiency in Niacin B3, although I had deficiencies in other nutrients as well.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption of all the essential nutrients, but eating a poor diet, taking certain medications, or drinking alcohol can result in deficiency diseases outside of Celiac, too.  Symptoms can wax and wane depending on dietary intake.  I knew an alcoholic who had the "boots" of Pellagra, which would get worse when he was drinking more heavily, and improve when he was drinking less.   Niacin deficiency is called Pellagra.  Symptoms consist of dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and death (the four D's).  A scaly rash on the feet and hands and arms are called the "boots" and "gloves" of Pellagra.  Darkened skin around the neck exposed to the sun is Casal's necklace.  Poor farmers with niacin deficient diets were called "red necks" because of this.    Does your rash get worse if you're in the sun?  Mine did.  Any skin exposed to the sun got blistered and scaly.  Arms, legs, neck, head.  Do you have dry, ashy skin on your feet?  The itchiness was not only from the rash, but neuropathy.   My doctors were clueless.  They didn't put all my symptoms together into the three D's.  But I did.  I'd learned about Pellagra at university.  But there weren't supposed to be deficiency diseases anymore in the developed world.  Doubtful it could be that simple, I started supplementing with Niacin and other essential nutrients.  I got better.   One of Niacinamide functions is to help stop mast cells from releasing histamine.  Your allergist gave you doxepin, an antihistamine which stops mast cells from releasing histamine.   Since you do have a Celiac gene, staying on the gluten free diet can prevent Celiac disease from being triggered again.   Interesting Reading: These case studies have pictures... Pellgra revisited.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4228662/ Steroid-Resistant Rash With Neuropsychiatric Deterioration and Weight Loss: A Modern-Day Case of Pellagra https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12532421/#:~:text=Figure 2.,(right panel) upper limbs.&text=The distribution of the rash,patient's substantial response to treatment.   Cutaneous signs of nutritional disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8721081/#:~:text=Additional causes of yellow skin,the clinical features of Kwashiorkor.   Hello, @Staticgypsy, I would not recommend cutting so many nutritious foods out of ones diet.  Oxalates can cause problems like kidney stones, but our bodies can process oxalates out of our systems with certain vitamins like Vitamins A and D and Pyridoxine B 6.   People with Celiac disease are often low in fat soluble vitamins A and D, as well as the water soluble B vitamins like Pyridoxine B 6.  Focus on serving your granddaughter nutrient dense meals to ensure she gets essential vitamins and minerals that will help her grow. Micronutrient inadequacy and urinary stone disease: an analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2018 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36976348/ Multivitamins co-intake can reduce the prevalence of kidney stones: a large-scale cross-sectional study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38564076/

I am and wish I wasn't. If there was a detector of gluten in the air it would make a world of difference.
