Can Natural Antifungal Get Rid Of Candida Affecting Whole Body?

Hi,

I have a lot of symptoms which I think might be attributed to candida/yeast overgrowth. I was wondering, will natural antifungals (caprylic acid, oregano oil, olive leaf, GSE, etc) get rid of candida symptoms outside of the digestive track? Symptoms such as tingling/pain in body, muscle weakness and soreness, itchy skin, hand tremors, brain fog, etc.

Thanks

On their own, probably not. You will want to also do an antifungal diet--cutting out all carbs and forms of sugar, etc to be most effective. If you search for antifungal diet a lot of different ones will come up--opinions vary on how strict you need ot be and what foods you need to cut. They also reccomend you use one natural antifungal at a time and rotate it out for a new one every few months. Supposedly the candida gets used to whichever type you are using and starts to become resisitant. When I first did my "elimination diet" I thought my problem might be candida-related but when I added some starches and sugar back in without any problem I realized wheat was my primary issue and that lead me to information about celiac. I have to be honest, after my own journey to better helath, I'm not sure I really believe in candida being a huge problem for much of the population. I'm not saying it doesn't exist but I think many people on anti-candida diets really have celiac/gluten intolerance or other food intolerances that drs just don't know how to test for yet. I do hope you find the answer for you.

PS: I had all of the symptoms you are listing and for me they went away after about 6 months on a strict gluten-free, soy free and dairy free diet. I still get the hand tremors/brain fog when I get a bad accidental glutening so I'm fairly sure it is related to gluten in my case.

      If a Celiac person is successful in following a gluten-free diet, they can go into remission.   They may not have a reaction to gluten without a precipitating event like an injury or infection or even emotional or mental stress.   Following a strict gluten-free diet at home, then indulging in gluten containing products abroad without a reaction can be explained by this remission.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Hi Theresa,  A few of my friends have your same story. You may be right about barley, etc.  18 years ago at a football game while clapping, suddenly my 4th finger was in agony.  It looked like a vein had burst. It was blue for a couple hours, then disappeared.  Finally realized it happened every time when drinking beer.  It's occurred several times over the years when opening a jar, lifting something that was a bit heavy, holding on to tight to something.  Immediate icing stops the pain and discoloration.  Now avoiding wheat in the US, it rarely happens.  Thanks for the reminder.  Will have Entero Labs run another test. Unfortunately they've relocated to Switzerland/Greece.

      The EMA test is an old and less sensitive test for anti-tTG2 antibodies. It relies on a technician using a microscope to check for fluorescence of a labelled substrate (typically monkey oesophagus or human umbilicus), giving a simple positive/negative result. It is similar to running a standard anti-tTG2 test but with a high cut-off, making it more specific but less sensitive. Transient rises in tTG2 can be caused by e.g. viral infections and inflammation. Very high levels of anti-tTG2 (>x10 standard range) are almost certainly coeliac disease but moderately raised levels can have several causes apart from coeliac disease. Other food allergies can cause villi blunting but that is much rarer than coeliac disease or other non-coeliac causes. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies
