Candida Because Of Food Intolerances?


jackay

Recommended Posts

jackay Enthusiast

I've tried the candida diet and used natural antifungals. With each antifungal, I had die off so figured they were working. The candida always came back.

I started Nystatin and have die off symptoms so feel it is working. I tested intolerant to almost all food so can't avoid it all. Also, I can't avoid all the foods that are the normal breeding ground for candida or once again I'd not have enough to eat. I am avoiding all added sugars but still eating some fruits, starchy vegetables and brown rice.

I'm wondering because of all my food intolerances if candida is always going to cycle back. Is it going to be a vicious cycle from now to eternity.

I have been going through the same thing for years now, but have recovered a lot. what has been helping me the best is to do all the antifungals at once (if you can handle it) with massive amounts of probiotics. finding the right strains that counteract the type of candida you have can take some time. For example, the probiotics my doctors put me on, didn't do great for me, but the PB8 probiotics from the health food store, I can't live without. In addition, I recently started making my own dairy free yogurt. That is doing wonders due to the hi content of probiotics in it. Plus digestive enzymes are a must with every meal or snack. Something else I'm trying is a protein powder from Metagenics, made specifically for super allergic/ intolerant people called Sustain. It's made for people with Leaky Gut Syndrome, which is what we have that is causing our food allergies from the candida. I mix the powder, with the yogurt, some cinnamon oil for taste. Hope this helps. :) PS- when you are having major die-off reactions take activated charcoal capsules. It takes the die-off symptoms away.

What are the die-off symptoms?

What are the die-off symptoms?

My die off symptom has always been a bad headache. Today is day four of the Nystatin and it is quite a bit better. I'm hoping by tomorrow it is gone completely.

I tried changing the antifungals every couple days last fall and got really bad so found that didn't work for me.

      Thanks for sharing this info! Frustrating to see companies who haven't used wheat as an ingredient start to do so! https://blistex.com/product/five-star-lip-protection/

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet to get my symptoms calmed down and my nutrients up.   I know what a struggle it is.  You're why I'm here. Smoothing out some rough parts of your journey makes my journey worthwhile. Here's the tests you can get for Celiac antibodies...

      @Ginger38, I'm with you!   I could not take Metformin.  I got so sick, constant diarrhea, abdominal cramps, extreme highs and lows, no energy, weight loss, muscle wasting.  Just horrible.   Metformin is known to block thiamine absorption.  Talk to your doctor about thiamine deficiency.  It's called Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  My doctor didn't recognize thiamine deficiency outside of alcoholism.  So I took over the counter Thiamine in the form Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide and felt health improvement within an hour.  Magical!   I followed the Autoimmune Protocol diet to get my stomach calmed down and control my blood glucose levels without medication. Being diabetic, we lose more thiamine through our kidneys, and the Metformin on top of it and malabsorption from Celiac.  Talk to your doctor soon!

      Thankyou I will be seeing my new primary this coming Monday and will ask.I did ask about some other blood test to look for that I saw on this website.I pushed the second ANA panel two months ago thinking it would show but found out it doesn't.I don't have lupus which seems what the ANA panel seems to only look for.I have come to the conclusion that doctors are like hair people meaning all hair places know how to cut hair and style but not all know how to grow hair.I was given tramadel for nearly 20 years to push through. I literally can't no more and stopped taking tramadel since I was swelling slowly in the belly.I will diffently show new primary this website and hopefully he will help.Its so hard because im falling apart with my eye, skin and read every label and stay away from what Im not supposed to.I had SIBO test done and it died on me and didn't complete all 8 breathes just the 5.I spoke to np and was finally validated by word of mouth.Cone to find out I have to repeat again.I went to a reputable hospital to be let down.I have to redo breath test but want to do at hospital instead of at home so no issues.Its not pleasant drinking that glucose stuff and not getting a direct answer. I live in Northern Cali.What recommended gi would know about celiac  disease, really know because I thought I found one but didn't. I don't want to digest any wheat, dairy, peanuts, rye, barely, eggs,garlic, walnuts because I get sick.When i showed the reputable hospital my past food allergies i was told that test is old.My thoughts were i was made in 1971 and its still avtive with diagestive issues.
