symptoms are building up- advice pls...

I have had alot of symptoms over the years of varying degrees and never connected them together until this past year. I initialy suspected candida but then the symptoms would ease away and i would think that maybe it was not as severe as candida.
Over a 5 year period i have changed my diet from vegetarian eating dairy and rarely fish to vegan eating alot of pulses, vegetable and fruit and now more recently i have 'dabbled' with raw food veganism. I fell off the raw food just these past two weeks due to going on holiday, finding it hard to maintain the juicing/sprouting i was doing. Though everyday i made sure i had a bowl full of greens. I wasn't on the raw long enough to really get ill from consuming cooked food again - but i really wasn't comfortable the majority of the time either.
Symptoms that i have had in the past and over the past 2 weeks really got worse are:
Chronic constipation
Bloating after every meal
Gas
Runny eye (never both eyes!)
Itchy nose
Dizziness
Fatigue which has brought about depressive bouts
Intolerance to potatoes and bread -major bloating foods
Weak nails
Corn on foot for at least 3 years despite everything i have tried
Aching muscles
Aching joints
Memory loss (im 29!)
foggy brain - don't feel as 'sparky' as i used to
vaginal discharge
complete lack of libido - no-one could tempt me!
Interrupted sleep (used to be such a heavy sleeper)
Sweating at night
Sweating excessively generally
Panic attacks/ anxiety
Chest pains when i bend over, experienced mainly when bloated
That's the symptoms off the top of my head...there are other that float in and out of my life but the ones listed above are what i deal with daily.
This is really getting to me. In such a short time all the symptoms are really ganging up on me.
I have just started taking acidophilus, bifidum, bulgaricus and it seems that there is a war going on in my intestines. The bloating is constant since taking these.
I took some vitamins in a bid to inject some organisation on that front but the next day i was vomiting, complete lack of energy, and shaking.
I've never experienced any of this until very recently.
I am back home and will be raw. Today i cannot consider eating as i am too bloated.
Can anyone suggest, apart from eradicating all carbs, sugar, yeasts, dried fruit, fruit, and dairy (which i have been doing) what more i can do to get winning this battle, which i am sure is candida. I have just bought some pau D'arco tea today and have had some.
Anything anyone can suggest to really kill this, no matter how horrible it might taste i would really be grateful.
For 10 yrs i was on dianette contraceptive pill....and also was prescribed something for Acne which i cannot remember the name of at the moment - i think the years of taking these - and being on a standard death inducing diet as a youngster has contributed to these symptoms.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,166,218Stop taking probiotics right now. Your gut intestines cant handle it right now.
Your body is low in hydrochloride acid which will help with intestines and you need magnesium for panic/anxiety. Weak nails means low in B vitamins and fatigue/ Depression possibly means low in omega 3 oils.
Start by healing you nutrient defiency which means Take your vitamins/minerals everyday including magnesium and Calcium first. Then look into zinc carnosine for gut healing as well as brewers yeast and Udo's Choice oil. Then after a month of taking these introduce probiotics like acidophilus in your diet. For killing candida I seem to find some relief in taking Lugols ( Iodine Forum ) - Re: symptoms are building up- advice... Bythc

This is a reply to # 1,166,392Thanks bythc - dandelion and nettle i have been gathering wild and juicing. The others i will look into :-)
We have alot of cleavers growing wild here in the UK - so far understand they are good for the liver - and cleansing the blood - are they as important for the liver as the aforementioned?
Thanks so very much for your time.

You can still eat raw and not juice. As a matter of fact, I never juice and I've been eating raw more than 3 months now. Eat apples, oranges, plums, peaches, bananas, strawberries, etc ... whatever! Fruit. Surely they have fruit wherever you are.
Oh, I read you eat only veggies. Both books I've read that recommend raw uncooked food both say almost all fruit (70+%), and only some uncooked veggies / nuts /etc. I've never read anyone saying all veggies. But hey, whatever works, just trying to give you some input.
Sounds bad but you might want to also eat "normal" every 3 days as well. If your diet consisted entirely of juicing, I'm not sure that's so healthy. Juicy for 30-40 days is good, but not all the time. Also, if you eat heavily on the vegetable side and light on fruit, you're missing many nutrients.
>> I am back home and will be raw. Today i cannot consider eating as i am too bloated.
It's probably better that you fast, your body knows best it seems.
>>Can anyone suggest, apart from eradicating all carbs, sugar, yeasts, dried fruit, fruit, and dairy (which i have been doing) what more i can do to get winning this battle, which i am sure is candida.
Sure.
- parasite cleanse (dewormer)
- Liver cleanse
- Uncooked raw fruit diet (mostly)
- Probiotic (coated to reach intestines)
- Stop injesting Aspartame and never using microwave
- Removing mercury fillings from mouth (unless you get rid of your filings, you'll never be permanently rid of Candida)
- Removing heavy metals from your body
- Fasting (water)
^^^ All of these need research of course.
If you need something to help your liver, the best is the Barefoot Herbalist. Read his "108" guide while you are there. Order "Lower Bowel Balance". People with Candida also need a "dewormer" which is also there, and I believe it's the best.

This is a reply to # 1,166,613Thanks very much for your advice vx - just to clarify though , i am not 100% raw veggies, i have been consuming veggies, fruit, seeds, nuts and oils, although i would say that 20% of the raw food is fruit - but not very sweet fruit as the info i have read about indicates that sugary fruits like melons, oranges etc should be avoided. I have apples mainly.
And i do not juice everything i listed - please don't mistake that! I juice alongside eating raw food. I personally believe that to be living on juices to contravene the laws of nature, leading me to wonder why we have a digestive system as complex as we do if we were meant to have all nutrition in liquid form. Like i say, that is a very personal opinion and i know there are those out there that prefer a more liquidy diet. I accept that, and i do and have felt the benefits of abstaining from bulk food and fasting on juices for extended periods.
I wouldn't know how to operate a microwave! I never have the SAD saturated toxins like aspartame, Mono-Sodium-Glutamat (Natrium Glutamat) etc...I really have developed such a sensitivity to toxins that i am only using personal products without chemicals, make-up is pure crushed minerals, clothing is breathable fabrics....i really am saturating my life with detoxing as much as i can and at the pace i am learning.
Could you explain to me why a majority raw fruit diet would be beneficial to me? I have read from so many sources that the candida diet is essential in refraining from sugary foods. Fruits - except avocado, tomato, cucumber, apple are mainly what i have been having in that food group.
The other vegetables are mainly leaf - spinach, rocket, kale, kohl, red cabbage, red onion, raw garlic and ginger. Capsicum, radish, brocolli and a little carrot raw too.
Raw beetroot i juice or eat grated.
OIl is raw, unfiltered cold pressed organic olive oil. Organic walnuts, cashews,almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, flaxseed.Goji berries.Spirulina in juices.
Bananas bloat me like a balloon. I love them but try to resist.
That os my raw diet mainly. I throw in occassional other seasonal things but am at the stage i don't want to rock the bowels!
Thanks for the tip about coated probiotics - i will try to research a good brand as my current brand doesn't state whether it is coated or not.
Since being off probiotics for 2 days now my stomach is deflating. Seems they are fighting for prime position in my guts!
I have ordered a herbal parasite cleanse - excited to do that again. It has been a while, when i did one before i didn't notice any effects whatsoever, that was also the common herbal clarke-type cleanse.
I look forward to doing a water cleanse this summer - i need to get stable abit more and wean up to that protocol. That is a cleanse i have not done and am very intrigued to try.
Thanks again vx for your suggestions - it really does help shed light onto this for me - i find when i need help the most i am useless at helping myself - especially when feeling very ill with symptoms - your time and energy writing has not been wasted - ill keep the forum posted on progress!- Re: symptoms are building up- advice... vx

I probably wouldn't do the explanation justice. Better to read "Dying to get well" (www.dyingtogetwell.com) or ask Barefoot himself on his forum. He is a huge juicer, so he is probably the guy you want to talk to.

>>I have read from so many sources that the candida diet is essential in refraining from sugary foods.
That's correct, but fruit sugars seem to work differently for some reason. Fruits on their own (as their own meal that is) are great and will help to remove the reason you have Candida. If you're eating fruit after a meat meal, forget it, it will be harmful.
You'd think a mostly raw uncooked fruit diet would be bad for people with Candida (and I was told so for 10 years and stayed away from fruits), but it worked for me.
Paul Bragg (in his book "The Miracle of Fasting") advises that when not fasting your diet should be 60-70% fruit (but he doesn't say why).
This is what Barefoot says about Candida and fruit.

----------------------
Barefoot: "What I call BOOK I cures the problem with no cost.
Otherwise, what the 108 pages suggest also does so using herbs at a cost.
I suggest BOOK I with herbs is superior and if BOOK I was the worlds best medical cure for all, using herbs makes it 10x better yet!
Diet is the cure, do the o/j fast properly and every year or as needed and once BOOK I is learned, you will always know your cure, ALWAYS! Once we are in control, then we are medical free for life. We choose our own self-inflicted suicide by our diet choice.
Dental metal free, clean pure water, Book 108 and Book I and your free if you choose to do it. No product will be an answer. All these forums and websites pushing products are ALL GIMMICKS seeking to make $$$ from sick people. If the gimmick does not include diet education, then the gimmick will be of little value.

>>Bananas bloat me like a balloon. I love them but try to resist.
The first rule of the fruit diet is to only eat things that you like and agree with you. Maybe you're not ready for bananas yet? I wasn't for my first 2 months either. Many (fruit) diets say to avoid them initially, and I would agree since I rarely eat them, but I included them for the variety factor.
My preferred fruits are: Apple, orange, plum, pear. It really depends on the person. I read that you should try to eat fruit which is made close to your region if possible. For example, the best fruit for people in the pacific is often coconut, but I'm not sure it's the best for me, but everyone is different.
>> Thanks again vx for your suggestions - it really does help shed light onto this for me
Glad I could help, sorry I just threw a laundry list at you. You might not need a parasite cleanse but it seems all people with Candida do need one, especially if you're bloated. It's also required before a liver cleanse, and Clark Liver Cleanses often bring great relief and health benefits.
Good luck, let us know how it goes.
