Day 4 - Oh Candida!

OMG, I felt the candida/yeast.

I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. I discovered that my dog doesn't like apples (he loves coconut, coconut oil, bananas and strawberries).

I started my morning with 3/4 of a small apple. I notice my bowels moved within seconds of taking the last bite. It was a nice feeling. OPed with pumpkin oil this morning. Gosh, this oil is lovely. An hour later, I had my P&B Coconut Milk Shake. Then I messed up my water cure drink. I put 2tsp in lieu of 1/4 tsp. I knew by the first sip, something wasn't right. That said, I drank a cup of it then drank another 8 oz of plain water. Within 30 minutes, I had another bowel movement. This was greater than the last one. Also, I noticed Candida in the toilet.

Now, I have been noticing Candida in my urine for about week. It started after I added coconut milk (& increased the amount of oil I consume) to my diet. During the past week, I didn't rub a little coconut oil in my vagina. Prior to doing it today, I never felt anything up there. It felt smooth. This morning, OMG, I felt the candida/yeast. I dug in deeper, and scraped the sides with my finger nail. There was white stuff in my nails. So, I rubbed more coconut oil up there (btw, the oil was in liquid form).

Threw away another CVS purchase from long ago . . . Nutragena Acne Treatment. I know longer need it. I washed my face and used ACV as a toner. I'm going to stick with what I'm doing and let my body heal itself.

Meals: Lunch: Shrimp, plantains and Brussel Sprouts; Mid Afternoon: Yogurt & Pumpkin Seeds; Dinner: Swiss Chard, shrimp sauteed with garlic. I'm going to a friend's house tomorrow. He's ordering pizza, which I know isn't great. But, its my last "dairy" meal. Since that's Week 2's item.

Afternoon

Not too long after my lunch, I had a wonderful bowel movement. I'm not sure if its due to adding Sea Salt to my food, the 8oz of Salt Water I drank this morning, the pinches of ES I add to my 1.5L water bottle on my work desk, or things are just working right. I'm not sick nor do I have cramps. Everything is fine. I do feel lighter.

Evening:
Okay, I spoke to soon about cramping. I moved my bowels twice since my afternoon messgae. And I had to go as soon as I got home. I must have put too much ES in my water. I'm having a FFL English Muffin as I type this. I'm hoping the muffin will slow things down a bit. I may have some plantains in an hour.
