oh yes and I forgot. I was taking D-d-mannose sugar (which is bad while fighting candida) and that usually worked in the past (it helps wash away undesirable particles in the bladder) but didnt work for this one, but what helped a lot with the pain and maybe a little with the infection was marshmellow root capsules! wait do you have candida or is this your only symptom?
His lab did not do urine tests so he dipped a swab in my urine and sent it into the lab as a vaginal sample and that bacteria showed. so I think it was just a culture, but not sure. get on the caprylic acid fast if thats the bacteria you have!!! its at health food stores. its a antifungal but also has anti bacterial properties. Yah its 90%better. I didn't even use the caprylic acid that long either cause I didn't want my candida to get use to it, but I'm sure if I did it longer it might have taken it completely away, just haven't focusing on the bladder cause I have really serious other problems going on so kind of placed that on the back burrner even though it was hell. yes could eat spicy things and no problem after, but still can't have sex feel like it would come back if I did, I still get little flares like once a week (don't know if it lays dormit, or if that is just a symptom of the candida acting up, its hard to tell cause I have so many things going on.
I wasnt on it long at all, maybe I took like 50 caps. but do it till you feel better, if I was back in the pain full blown I would take what it says on my bottle six caps two to three times a day.more if you want till I felt better. who knows I could have had a fungal uti also going on I wouldn't doubt it. its funny you said that you have digestive and sinus issues that is exactly what is going on with me well after the bladder kind of clearing up I was able to and drink then I ended up getting the worst acid reflux in the world so now i can barely eat anything a day if I eat at all. what are your digestive issues?? and I also have a bad sinus infection that I do not know what to do about going on for a month and half. have an appt tommorrow to get some cultures to see if its bacteria or fungal. THis is so out of hand one major thing after another, in so much pain I want to blow my head off. I'm at the point were yes I have now experianced it all with candida, every symptom imaginable and I see no end to this... I mean I was on the diet for a month and half when this hit! I thought I would stop getting ill so much but no...
can you name your symptoms for the sinus issues, headaches and digestive issues.crazy we are both having the same kind of issues at the same time!!!
