Hi,
I'm new to this site but I've been reading up on various threads for quite some time now.
I'm a 22 year old male in Pharmacy school who has been suffering from seemingly inexplicable symptoms for the last six months. They are as follows...
-Severe brain fog
-Memory loss
-Inability to concentrate
-Hangover-like headaches
-Dizziness
-Chronic orthostatic intolerance
- Depression (no previous history of it)
-Anxiety (not as bad as the depression)
-Lethargy/fatigue
-Occasional G.I. upset (upper and lower)
It all happened suddenly a few hours after I ate some naan bread covered with peanut butter, chocolate hazelnut butter, and honey.
I have been collecting A LOT of empirical data on my condition by pure observation. I have concluded the following...
-My symptoms are directly linked to carbohydrate intake
-My symptoms are not linked to gluten specifically
-Symptoms are almost completely chronic
-Symptoms improved only slightly and temporarily on a gluten-free diet
The only reason I even suspected candida overgrowth was because of what happened last Thursday. I don't really drink soda. I decided to have a coke on an empty stomach and within an hour after ingestion, all of my symptoms got 1000 times worse. It was abundantly clear that the rapid Sugar intake was somehow linked to my worsening symptoms. This is classic for candida overgrowth. Plus, all of my other symptoms fit.
There are a few reasons why I'm doubting I have candida overgrowth. This is where I need help. Please tell me if I'm wrong.
-I don't have very many obvious LOWER G.I. symptoms (occasional gas if things are really bad)
-I haven't been on any anti-biotics in a long long time (but I had been eating a lot of glutamine, which apparently yeast love, and I had been taking heavy doses of acid suppressing medication)
-I didn't improve much on a low carb yeast diet (although I haven't given it much time)
-I have been on one million units of Nystatin every day for three days and have seen no improvement (although I've been told that I'm on too low of a dose)
I'm going to talk to my doc tomorrow about getting the Quest candida antibody complex blood test. I've heard that it can have a false negative however...
I'm also considering an ethanol/acetaldehyde test. I would get my blood drawn. Then I would gulp down a sugary beverage on an empty stomach. Then I would wait until my symptoms kicked in. Then I would get my blood drawn again. We would compare my ethanol and acetaldehyde levels from the two samples. I would assume that they would be elevated if I actually had candida.
I'm sorry this was such a long post. Thank you for reading it and I'd REALLY appreciate feedback and your opinions. I'm in dire straits here and I NEED my mind back so that I can continue with school!

This is a reply to # 2,037,244It sounds like candida or some other immune/allergy reaction. You appear to know as much as anyone else here not named Dr. Jeff, so if money is not an issue, do all the testing you can, even multiple times. There are so many candida cure theories that it is hard to pinpoint how your individual body chemistry reacts to certain protocols before actually doing compare/contrast experiments on yourself. I am constantly tweaking my diet and supplement intake with varying results and herx symptoms. Getting your GI balance back to normal is paramount in my opinion, regardless of other curing tactics that you attempt. Good luck.

Yeah I figured it was either candida or another food intolerance. The reason why I highly doubt it is a food intolerance is because of the severe reaction to the coca cola. My symptoms don't fit those of Fructose Malabsorption. And I've connected my symptoms to any carbohydrate, not just fructose.
I've ordered a pro-biotic plus some other fungicidal supplements that show some promise.
I don't understand why the Nystatin isn't making me feel at least a little better. It sucks.- Re: Can some of you candida experts ... Pokermaniac

This is a reply to # 2,037,244I recommend you getting a home glucose meter and monitor to see if you're having any blood Sugar issues.
I've been researching diet a lot since healing my worst health condition by eating the opposite way conventional wisdom recommended for my different condition.
One thing I learned with people complaining about problems with carbs or Sugar is an overlooked connection with excess fats. I wrote about it here:
//www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=2019007#i
Many people on youtube have talked about they healed their illnesses like candidiasis and Type II diabetes by not giving up carbs or natural sugars, but by dramatically reducing their fat intake. Just sharing this with you as an alternative in case the conventional methods fail to help you.

This is a reply to # 2,037,244All carbs turn into glucose and glucose feed candida. Eliminating the carbs will help slightly after the infection has started. Drugs are worthless, your pharmacy school teaches criminal behavior and how to disperse poisons that are toxic to mankind. We here in the USA are most medicated doctor dependent people on the planet with the highest health care costs in the world and rank #51 for life expectancy. Now what does that tell you? Do yourself a favor and get out of pharmacy school and start serving mankind instead of helping to destroy it as you are destroying your own body. - Re: Can some of you candida experts ... stilljillofark

This is a reply to # 2,037,244Hello,....
If it's not candida,...I'm suspecting Aspartame in the coke you got so ill from last Thurs!
Your ethanol/acetaldehyde test sounds like a good plan too, BTW!
Good luck!

This is a reply to # 2,037,244I wish I read your question before you went for you test - I would have recommended an easier solution.
I am sharing my personal experience on Candida in my blog.
I had it for, funny, I think I wrote in the other answer for 40 years instead of more than 50. I never think about my age. To me it's a relative concept.
Anyway, you'll find a ton of info in my post. However, a thought occored to me this morning, so I edited my message to you - do you think you're not getting enough sleep and are under stress. I quote Luise Hay's knowledge of emotional side of the Candida.
Here is my post:

Please let me know your progress.
Good luck!

This is a reply to # 2,037,244While I agree that a natural, non-chemical approach is best, if you are set on taking drugs to kill the yeast over-growth then Nystatin is often prescribed in conjunction with Fluconazole. The Nystatin is good for yeast that are in the digestive tract but will do nothing for the yeast that end up invading other areas of the body,think brain fog, ear infections, etc.
It is refreshing to see a pharmacist who is not brain washed by the big drug company party line. I am sure they make mega $$ on all manner of prescription drugs treating symptoms of Candida yeast but not treating/reducing the Candida.- Re: Can some of you candida experts ... Kcirla

This is a reply to # 2,041,160If you wanna know if your problems are candida related, and they probably are regarding your symptoms, I suggest you go on a green diet temporarily and start taking good doses of raw garlic, turmeric, or any effective antifungal. Try it for 3 days. If your symptoms worsen, then you will know you have candida overgrowth.

Hey Kcirla,
Would parasites also react badly to raw garlic? When you said candida, do you also mean parasites?

This is a reply to # 2,042,245parasites and worms can react badly to raw garlic, but in my experience much less than to a strong Black-Walnut tincture. I suggest a green diet for candida because it is proven that candida feeds on sugar. The higher the blood Sugar levels, the more the candida will grow. You need to weaken the candida by depriving it from its main food source, and then kill it. Some parasites can feed on anything I believe, blood, and even bile in my case.

This is a reply to # 2,037,244Hi TG,
Are you aware of the almost miraculous results many tens (hundreds?) of THOUSANDS of people have experienced, dealing with most of the health disorders known to humankind, from ingesting ascorbic acid?
If you are still interested in finding a solution to your health problem(s), and gaining greater health in ALL areas of your body, I STRONGLY encourage you to read this article written by Dr. Robert Cathcart, M.D. http://vitamincfoundation.org/www.orthomed.com/titrate.htm
Perhaps it may help solve your problem(s). You have only better health and well-being to gain by applying its recommendation. What have you got to lose?
These two quotes are instructive:
"There are more than ten thousand scientific papers that make it quite clear that there is not one body process (such as what goes on inside cells or tissues) and not one disease or syndrome (from the common cold to leprosy) that is not influenced - directly or indirectly - by vitamin C." -- Dr. Emanuel Cheraskin, M.D., Dr. Marshall Ringsdorf, D.M.D., and Dr. Emily Sisley, THE VITAMIN C CONNECTION.
“I have never seen a patient that Vitamin C would not benefit.” -- Dr. Frederick Klenner, M.D.
I wish you BEST success, TG, in your search for a solution to your health issue(s)!
Sincerely,
David
