    Wow, did I really start this topic 2 weeks ago? Because in the past few days, I wouldn't get that nasty headache before having to use the bathroom. It's been getting better quickly! In fact, a perfect example is today. After barely using the bathroom the past 2 days, today I had to use it real bad... and yet I didn't have any nasty headache or real bad physical...

    I just took a garlic tablet 2 hours ago. I can't swallow pills, so, yes, I bit the tablet and had to chew and taste it. I've never had garlic before, but it's very overpowering. I don't know at what point I should expect a noticeable effect, but I'm not getting anything that I can attribute to the garlic. I'll try to find a holistic in my area, but there...

    Garlic can supposedly cure a ton of things. It's antifungal, antibiotic, and probiotic (refills good bacteria) all at once. I am definitely thinking of trying it and seeing if something good happens, since it's not really supposed to have side effects.

    Okay, I had strange symptoms that showed up all of a sudden when I started, then stopped, taking fish oil. I get random headaches, random fatigue, and other nonsense. I don't want to get into all the details. And I tried cutting back on fruit sugar and saw some improvement, and basically, well, I think I might have candida. Or something at least. Someone...

    I'm thinking I might have candida, and it might be what's causing the massive spike in hunger (that slowly goes down after MONTHS) after I cut out first gluten, then dairy, then FISH OIL (which I only took for a few weeks, but stopped taking because it was somehow causing me weird symptoms despite the fact that I can tolerate fish itself just fine). Not to...

    It gets more complicated though. My symptoms have been slowly, but surely, getting better over the weeks. And this happened both the times I cut gluten out as well as dairy. Feel terrible but gradually feel better over the months. Plus, I get stomach rumbles a lot, which have - slowly - been getting better. Hypoglycemia is not stomach-related as far...

    Also, it can't be a coincidence that taking a dump often reduces the symptoms, but I sometimes feel an increase for some time before I have to (especially if it's a big one). All the more reason that I believe I'm removing something from my body when I do. One example: The "shakiness in hands" feeling sometimes increases about an hour or so before I have...

    It's not quite the same though. My hands don't actually shake. They just have a weird "feeling" to them. And the difficulty focusing comes on and goes randomly. There doesn't seem to be a relationship to eating carbs, and I don't eat soy. The fatigue and headaches don't occur together either. These symptoms occur at different times, not usually together,...

    No, not pins and needles. It's hard to explain. I associate it with hunger, and referred to it as feeling "hungry in the hands", but it's really hard to describe. It might not be hunger-related.

    From blood tests, thyroid is fine. I am strongly thinking candida is it. There's a holistic doctor 10 minutes from where I live. My idiot regular doctor thinks candida can't cause these symptoms, so if it happens to be that, I can't get any help from him. What else do holistic doctors do? What do they check for, and what kinds of tests do they do? Do...

    Okay, after I took fish oil and suffered nasty problems like pressure in the head and random inability to focus and fatigue, I stopped taking it. And my hunger shot up really high. Since, I've been having the following problems randomly, as my hunger SLOWLY gets back to normal. (I am now taking L-glutamine daily, having started less than 3 weeks ago, since...

    I am wondering if these symptoms are part of leaky gut. I never did really fix it. I would take L-glutamine if I'd consumed gluten or casein, and it stopped the symptoms, and I took it on some other occasions, but I really should be taking it every day. I now am, and have been for nearly 2 weeks. I'm definitely going to keep it up forever.
  13. CGally81
    I'm not taking any probiotics. The lack of info I could find on Symbion, and the fact that they only sell it directly, both sent up red flags for me. Thanks for the info. Any other things that might help? What probiotics are good for helping with candida, or... Well, my current problems are sometimes random headaches (going away at the moment), sometimes...

    Okay, I definitely am gluten and casein intolerant, but strange symptoms have been showing up lately that don't occur ___ amount of time after eating food, but instead, show up whenever. I'm wondering if I have a problem with candida overgrowth. My idiot doctor and his rude wife (who is the receptionist) blew me off ("candida is a fungus. It can't do this...
  15. CGally81
    For me, L-glutamine stops symptoms in a real hurry. I take it in chewable form. I just shove a bunch (5g or more!) into my mouth and the symptoms are gone within like 10-20 minutes. That's been my experience. I keep the bottle around just in case I get glutened or dairied, but I'm now taking 1.5g a day in the hopes of rebuilding my intestine and reducing...
  16. CGally81
    After going through the hungry all the time feeling when stopping gluten, then casein, well, I went through it again after I took fish oil and then stopped. But my hunger seems to have been going UP recently, not down, but this time I might have an answer. I took the spit test for candida. I know it's said to be unreliable, but unreliable in that it produces...
  17. CGally81
    I'm wondering now if I have candida. Because I have more than just abnormally high hunger. I had the weird symptoms after taking the fish oil, like pressure in the head, random fatigue, and so on, but I have some random fatigue now, random headaches, difficulty concentrating at times, and other stuff. Eating only 50 calories of baby carrots somehow seemed...

    The fish oil was Carlson's brand, and no soy was listed as an ingredient. I found a website where a ton of people listed reactions to fish oil, so I'm far from alone, even if strange reactions are largely unknown.

    My fasting blood sugar is slightly high. (it's like 106 - normal range being something lke 65-99, diabetic range being 125+, I'm pretty sure) But I'd had normal amounts of hunger for the past few months before this fish oil nonsense, and the sudden massive rise in hunger after I stopped the fish oil (the fish oil was causing horrible side effects that...

    Okay, when I discovered gluten was the cause of seemingly all of my problems, I went gluten-free, and within days, was ravenously hungry ALL the time, taking months to finally get down to almost normal. Then I discovered that milk ingredients were messing with me, causing the same symptoms (to a lesser extent, but they were gradually getting worse), so...
  21. CGally81
    Have you ever tried taking L-glutamine? Apologies if you have, and it didn't help. But anytime the gluten symptoms show up, it kills them in a real hurry. Usually 10-15 minutes. It's also stopped a depression I got at one point (non-gluten related as far as I could tell), and seems to help with brain fog from non-gluten causes. If you haven't, try it out...
  22. CGally81
    Okay, I stopped taking both the fish oil on 8/4 and the Smart Balance peanut butter on 8/3, and my headaches and that nasty super light-headed feeling (and I'd feel as if I had all my air rushing to my brain or something - hard to explain but very scary) began to go away. Oh yeah, and drinking water tended to make the symptoms worse, and using the bathroom...
  23. CGally81
    I actually take a multivitamin sold here on this site that's supposed to contain a bunch of nutrients to try to correct this problem. But yeah, I think I'm going to add baby carrots into my diet, and I'm going to try sunflower butter, and possibly some Larabars (I started a separate topic asking for food suggestions). I've gone for years, well over a decade...
  24. CGally81
    I bought baby carrots today, then saw that 1/10 of the container contains a mere 35 calories! That's barely anything! I guess they'd make a nice little addition to a larger meal, but wow, that's disappointing. Vegetables are not big in the calorie department. I changed peanut butter brands again - this time for a brand that contains literally only peanuts...

    I discovered the likely culprit. I'd been taking fish oil for 3 weeks. Exactly 21 days, according to my food log. And I didn't do a good job of measuring it out. Today I realized I'd drank 60% of the bottle. That's a 100 serving bottle, each serving being 1.6g. You do the math. Or, well, I will - I'd been taking about 4.5g of fish oil on average every...
