Finally others are posting with the jock itch syptom! I have been on a candida strict diet for a year and a half now. I find I can ''cheat'' for a night here and there, but any more than that.. I start to have old symptoms flare.
And even on the strict diet, I STILL have the jock itch. Candida can grow and change and get used to any food you eat, and finds a way to then turn it into
Sugar more efficiently, the more familiar it gets to your new diet.
Anyways, what I recommend for you.. which I WISH I had done first (I've done it all, professional foot baths, numerous naturepaths-every natural antifungal under the moon,
Bentonite clay etcetera), is that you find a reputable homeopath in your area.
I too, went under after a stressful year of school, but most importantly dating a really bad guy (the player type, who cheats etcetera). My self-worth became depleted and I felt like I had given my entire heart away and it had been butchered.
i'd lie on my bed and I knew that if I was going to get sick it was going to hit me then because my spirit was gone, I felt stripped of my pride, skin, and ultimately any sort of love that could protect me.
This is when things got crazy, and my candida/depression/ocd got out of control.
Talking with the homeopath is very therapeutic. She asks about your personal life, and gives you a treatment that will help you get back to where you were before the trauma set in.
The antifungals from a naturepath may provide temporary relief-but finding a treatment that is personal to you as a person, is what will truly work.
I have seen my personality and old spirit come back to me now. And I believe it is the first key to full healing. In addition bearable die-off symptoms that actually go away have also come and gone.
my homeopath connected the jock itch to the liver, based on my situation with it being repeated etcetera. The liver is also connected to emmotions like anger. When I started my very simple but ever so powerful/rewarding treatment, I went through severe ANGER excretion for about two weeks. I was the ultimate bitch. But after it all? I feel so much healtheir! And that destructive relationship? No pain left from that at all. it's like the homeopath stitched up my wounds from that relationship. Sure they're still there, but the faint pain is much better than the stabbing in the gut sensation that the memories used to bring.
I hope this helps. Don't destroy yourself with experimentations like me. Start out with a quality homeopath. I'm fortunate that mine happens to also be a doctor from germany, so she may be advanced. But I believe any quality homeopath will help you-especially since you acknowledge your sickness being triggered by an emmotional hardship.
I am around your age.
Best of luck.
